Politiker unter sich am Bildschirm: Die Konfrontation von Personen und Sachthemen in den Fernsehdiskussionen 1972–1980
Fernsehdebatten zwischen Bewerbern um politische Macht sind, seit Kennedy und Nixon dieses Sendungsformat 1960 einführten, immer auf großes Interesse sowohl in der Öffentlichkeit als auch bei den Medienforschern gestoßen1. Sie bieten Gelegenheit, den Wahlkampf gleichsam als Boxkampf, Pferderennen oder Fußballspiel — je nach der bevorzugten Sportart — zu erleben. Die meisten Zuschauer verfolgen ein derartiges Ereignis nicht unvoreingenommen. Sie b…

Candidates on Television: The 1972 Electoral Debates in West Germany
This article explores the nature and effects of the campaign debates held in the Federal Republic of Germany in 1972. The findings indicate that the debates were bruising personal battles that emphasized issues and ethics. While they did not have any direct effects on either candidate perceptions or issue salience, there is evidence that the debates may have had some important indirect effects on the electorate's ultimate voting choices
Mass Media Use and Electoral Choice in West Germany
The claim that the mass media exercise a strong influence on people's political attitudes and behavior enjoys a wide currency-though not any more than the disclaimer. Common sense tells us that the mass media affect how we perceive political reality and what part of it, since few experience politics firsthand. Yet voting research has generally failed to turn up evidence for sizeable media effects, at least as far as changing people's votes is con…
Generational Differences in the Role of Party Identification in German Political Behavior
This article examines the continuing controversy about party identification in West Germany from a generational perspective. A causal analysis in which party identification is seen as the intervening variable between social background and voting behavior is conducted for six age cohorts with data from a 1972 election study. This reveals that the model fits better among young Germans than it does among older ones. The possibility that these result…
Voter Rationality: A Comparison of Presidential and Congressional Voting in Wyoming
Voter Rationality: A Comparison of Presidential and Congressional Voting in Wyoming
A CENTRAL assumption of American democratic thought is that man is basically rational. Beginning, though, with the large-scale voting studies based on survey research, this assumption has been called into question.' Among other things, these and later studies found that the average citizen seemed to care little about politics, that he frequently distorted what little political information he did possess to conform to preconceived notions, and tha…
The Acquisition of Partisanship in Germany
Political Participation, Political Efficacy, and Socialization in Germany
Most recent discussions of the contemporary West German political system have emphasized the passive nature of individual involvement and participation in politics in that country. Lewis J. Edinger, for example, argues that the quiescent subject role is still quite pervasive in West Germany. He suggests that political participation occurs more as a result of the feeling that one must fulfill one's civic duty than that one can exercise some contro…
A Note on Behavioralists and Post-Behavioralists in Contemporary Political Science
In 1969 David Easton argued that a new revolution was “underway in American political science.” This revolution, which he labelled the post-behavioral revolution, is motivated by a “deep dissatisfaction with political research and teaching, especially of the kind that is striving to convert the study of politics into a more rigorously scientific discipline modelled on the methodology of the natural sciences.” Specifically, post-behavioralists, ac…
