Using OLS regression with World Values Survey data across 18 OECD countries, this article makes two major arguments. Firstly, if a dominant party is ideologically congruent with an individual, its dominance enhances the effect of party ideology on individual ideology. If incongruent, greater dominance only inhibits this effect. Secondly, if individuals find the dominant party ideologically congruent, as their political awareness increases, the effect of that party's ideology rises monotonically. If incongruent, the effect of party ideology first rises and then falls back. Therefore, party dominance leads ultimately to increasing ideological polarization between the dominant party's supporters and opponents. Résumé. Cet article vise à présenter deux arguments importants en appliquant la “ régression OLS ” aux données du “ World Values Survey ” sur 18 pays de l'OCDE. En premier lieu, s'il y a congruence entre l'idéologie d'un parti dominant et celle de l'individu, la dominance du parti renforce l'effet d'idéologie de parti sur l'idéologie de l'individu. S'il n'y a pas congruence d'idéologies, une dominance plus marquée du parti ne fait qu'entraver davantage cet effet. En second lieu, si les individus trouvent l'idéologie du parti dominant conforme à la leur, au fur et à mesure qu'augmente leur conscience politique, l'effet de l'idéologie de ce parti augmente de façon uniforme. Si l'idéologie du parti dominant n'est pas conforme à la leur, l'effet d'idéologie de parti commence par grandir pour ensuite retomber. Ainsi, la prédominance de parti mène finalement à une polarisation idéologique croissante entre les partisans du parti dominant et ses opposants
