Despite its conceptual and empirical ambiguities, the Left-Right distinction of political preferences is a widely used tool in academic debates on voting and party behaviour, coalition formation and political culture. In a novel contribution to scholarship on the social construction of ideological identities, we investigate the context-dependent nature of the association between different conceptualizations of economic well-being and political orientations along a Left-Right scale. Our theoretical framework distinguishes economic well-being into a materialist and post-materialist dimension, and derives its hypotheses from Social Modernization Theory. Using multivariate analyses with original survey data from 3,449 undergraduate students in Bolivia, Brazil, Italy, Kenya, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK, our results show clear patterns and large effect sizes in the association between respondents' macro-economic context and their micro-level ideological orientations. In non-high-income countries, respondents' Left-Right self-placements correlate with a materialist conceptualization of economic well-being, which centres on assessments of their family's real-life economic status. In high-income countries, by contrast, respondents' Left-Right self-placements are associated with a post-materialist conceptualization of economic well-being that is based on normative judgements about inequality aversion.

AbstractThe increasing attention gained by the intertemporal aspect of poverty has led to the flourishing of measurement tools that are informed by conflicting views on deprivation dynamics. We test individual preferences for alternative intertemporal poverty patterns using primary data from a sample of 1083 undergraduate students and a heterogeneous sample of 310 adults in the Dominican Republic. For both samples, the strongest concerns are chronic (rather than intermittent) and poverty in the second rather than in the first part of one's life. Preferences are significantly affected by a duration‐based between‐subject randomly assigned treatment. Individual characteristics such as age and standard of living are significant predictors of respondents' views. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
