Values and Expectations as Factors of Electoral Preferences

Summary/Abstract: There are three tasks of research that had been conducted on a representative sample of two faculties (№ 255): to examine the connections between electoral behavior, or in other words the intention to vote for DS (Democratic Party) and SRS (Serbian Radical Party) and: 1) the degree of acceptance of eighteen social and personal objectives (values); 2) the expectation that the party winning elections could help or hinder implementation of these objectives; 3) the product of significance and expectations that party could achieve eventually. Products of first two groups of factors, values and expectations can explain only slightly higher degree of variance but not every factor individually (especially expectations). That cannot confirm or deny the theory of expectations – values. They compared the voters of both parties, especially in terms of expectations from the preferred and rival parties. General conclusion is that the elected party is expected to have more success in implementation of various goals than rival parties. They discussed about that whether affective attachment to the party speaks in favor of th№e party identification model.
