    Study Notes

    Political Ideology

    • A political ideology is a set of beliefs and values about the role of government, economy, and society that shapes an individual's understanding of politics and informs their decisions.

    Party Polarization

    • Party polarization has become a defining feature of American politics, meaning that the two main parties have become more ideologically distinct and distant from each other, making compromise and cooperation more challenging.

    Examples of Political Ideology

    • Examples of political ideologies include liberalism, conservatism, socialism, communism, and libertarianism, among others, each with its own distinct set of beliefs and values about how society should be organized and governed.

    Agents of Socialization

    • Agents of socialization are people, groups, or institutions that shape an individual's political beliefs, attitudes, and values, such as family, schools, media, peers, and religious organizations.

    Social Desirability Bias

    • Social desirability bias is a type of response bias in which individuals provide false or misleading information to present themselves in a more favorable light, often to avoid social stigma or judgment, and can be a challenge in political polling and research.
