Since the return of democracy, party identification has been declining sharply among the Chilean public.

Since the return of democracy, party identification has been declining sharply among the Chilean public. We seek to understand this process by applying an age-period-cohort analysis to survey data from 1994 to 2014. In light of the elite-driven and socially uprooted character, or what we call the encapsulated nature, of the Chilean party system, we hypothesize that cumulative electoral experience has had a negative effect on party identification and not the positive effect that Converse’s (1969) social-learning model would predict. Our findings support these expectations but also reveal large period effects that have shrunk the overall level of partisan identification and significant cohort effects whereby generations born after the 1950s have become less partisan. We also uncover important nuances that occur across the various mainstream political parties. We conclude that all three sources of social change are leading toward the extinction of mass partisanship from Chilean society.... view less

Desde el retorno de la democracia, la identificación con partidos políticos ha disminuido drásticamente entre el público chileno. Buscamos comprender este proceso por medio de un análisis de edad-período-cohorte aplicado a datos de encuesta de entre 1994 y 2014. A la luz del carácter elitista y socialmente desenraizado, o lo que llamamos la naturaleza encapsulada, del sistema de partidos chileno, hipotetizamos que el efecto de la experiencia electoral acumulada ha tenido un efecto negativo sobre la identificación con partidos, y no uno positivo tal como lo predeciría el modelo de aprendizaje social de Converse (1969). Nuestros hallazgos respaldan estas expectativas, pero también revelan efectos período de gran magnitud que han reducido el nivel agregado de identificación partidaria y, además, importantes efectos cohorte donde las generaciones nacidas después de 1950 se han vuelto cada vez menos partidistas. También descubrimos importantes matices en estos patrones entre los distintos partidos políticos del país. Concluimos que las tres fuentes de cambio social están llevado a la extinción de la identificación partidaria de la sociedad chilena.... view less
