description

Despite being part of the original concept by Campbell et al. (1954, 1960), multiple party identifications are rarely analyzed as most studies use single items that do not allow to identify multiple identifications. I am able to overcome these flaws by using current German survey data. My findings show that considerably shares of the sample hold multiple party identifications. These identifications often have a notable impact on evaluations, attitudes and behavior when compared to single party identification.
