摘要:
The applicability of the neo-Marxian and middle majority models to cultural cleavages between occupational categories was investigated with 1965–71 Canadian Gallup poll data. While the summary cultural scores showed modest differences by occupation, the largest cleavage separated professionals from nonprofessionals. For the 18 individual topics, marked differences appeared between nonmanual and manual (neo-Marxian cleavage) for economic topics and between professionals and nonprofessionals for “compassionate” topics, but there were essentially no differences for the remaining topics. The mostly small effects of occupation on cultural scores suggest that the typically low level of class voting in Canadian federal elections is attributable less to the lack of class-differentiated choice provided by the two major parties than to the Canadian electorate's non-class opinions on most topical issues.
