Status, Anomia, Political Alienation, and Political Participation

Abstract

Low social status, anomia, and political alienation are shown to be significantly related to a negative vote and unfavorable attitude on the issue of metropolitan government in Nashville, Tennessee, for a sample of suburban residents. Anomia and political alienation interpret, to a very limited extent, the association between social status and political participation in the "Metro" issue. It is concluded that the three independent variables are, for the most part, additive in their effects on the extent and direction of participation in a local political issue.
