According to this model, children acquire from their parents political labels that serve as voting cues. These cues can relate to a specific party (party identification), a group of parties, or a basic ideological position (usually in "left" and "right" terms). In every society, labels having greater heuristic advantage in each society is determined by the nature of the party system and, specifically, by three of its characteristics: number of parties, composition of the social cleavages, and degree of competitiveness. Some of the model's assumptions are tested with empirical data from Israel, providing a comprehensive account of the intergenerational transmission of partisanship and ideological orientations in Israel. - Reproduced Political parties Comparative Political Studies 50003 50003 50003 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 34, Issue no: 6 AR50431 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
