The Motives: Ideology Connection among Political Party Activists
This article explores the multidimensionality of the motivations that underlie partisan political activity, and the relationship between political motives and political ideology among activists. Using data from questionnaires submitted by over 3,300 California party activists over a 25-year period, it shows not only how motivational analysis may illuminate the basis of intraparty ideological conflict but also how that conflict is mitigated.

Party Registration and Party Vote: Democratic Fall-Off in Legislative Elections
This paper examines the relationship between legislative election outcomes in California and the partisan predispositions of district electorates as reflected in voter registration data. It gauges the extent to which Democratic candidates for Congress and the state legislature over a two-decade period have failed to receive electionday support commensurate with their party's district registration, and it considers how this shortfall is affected b…
Political Women and Political Ambition: Closing the Gender Gap
This paper focuses upon gender differences in the motives of political activists. Using data from questionnaires submitted by 3,000 California political party activists and leaders over a 20-year period, it documents the relatively low level of political ambition-defined in terms of a desire for political self-enhancement-among the women studied and the way in which the ambition gender gap has been closing in recent years.

Further, multivariate…

Female lea…

Intraparty Attitude Conflict: Democratic Party Leadership in California
ATTITUDE CONFLICT is a phenomenon occurring within as well as between fpolitical parties. And if party members are differentiated in terms of their political dispositions, so too are they differentiated in terms of the status they have within their party. The relationship between these two forms of differentiation between membership stratification and attitude conflict is the central concern of this study. It is a relationship which has recently …
