Extract

”Consensus and Ideology in American Politics” is one of a trio of Review articles in which Herbert McClosky (1958; McClosky, Hoffman, and O'Hara 1960) reported on the early results of his empirical inquiries into the ideological foundations of American mass and elite political attitudes and beliefs. This extremely ambitious research program engaged McClosky (who died March 13, 2006) for the next half-century, producing, among other outcomes, two major books (McClosky and Brill 1983; McClosky and Zaller 1984), numerous doctoral dissertations by his students at Berkeley, and a rich course of study in political psychology that constituted a substantial and lively subfield in his department that attracted a great many of its most promising graduate students.
