Abstract

In a longitudinal study of the political culture of three generations of Chileans (n1=494; n2=695; n3=494) we discuss the relationship between social structural variables (generation and social class) and attitudes concerning their ideological standing (support of democracy and authoritarianism). Results show that within young right-wingers support of democracy is higher than within adult right-wingers, and that the relationship between authoritarianism and education level depends on social class. These findings suggest that current research on ideology should take into account, in addition to the individual variables usually considered in social psychology, the old relationship between social structure and themolding of ideological attitudes.
