Why do people adopt attitudes of political alienation--attitudes of
estrangement from, or lack of identification with, the political
system? Why do some politically alienated people react to their
alienation by engaging in revolutionary behavior, while others
similarly alienated--become reformers or ritualists, and still
others simply drop out of political activity? In Political
Alienation and Political Behavior, David C. Schwartz attempts to
answer these questions, challenging accepted theories of social
status and economic difficulties and developing a completely new,
three variable psychological theories to explain alienation. Based
on observations of threat from value conflict, perceived personal
inefficacy, and perceived systemic inefficacy, the theory includes
a process model for predicting political behavior. The book is
organized into a definition and discussion of the concept of
political alienation, including reviews and critiques of relevant
scholarly and popular literature; a theoretical explanation of the
causes and consequences of alienation; presentation of data;
research reports testing the author's explanation of political
alienation; tests of a process model explaining the consequences of
alienation; and a summary of the major findings of the research,
indicating some of the directions that future research might
profitably take. Fascinating reading for social scientists, this
well-written book will be important to teachers and students
concerned with U.S. politics and more generally with the
relationship of economic, social, and psychological forces
manifested in political behavior.
