Abstract

Factor and multiple discriminant analyses were used to uncover the number and nature of those higher-order sociopolitical attitude dimensions which could optimally discriminate between males and females with different political party preferences. The Ss were 783 Swedish high school students. The results indicated that two major (Left-Right, Fascism-Humanism) higher-order dimensions could optimally differentiate between males and females with different political party preferences. The results are discussed in terms of Eysenck's two-factor theory of political attitudes.
