However, no research to date has established exactly what types of valence matter and how they interact with parties\u2019 policy platforms. This study therefore conducted a conjoint experiment in Japan and found that voters care more about party valence attributes with respect to presence, power, and legislative productivity, as well as the prevalence of scandals, compared to the level of continuity and experience. This pattern persists regardless of electoral system and partisanship. The results also imply that valence is not a substitute for policy and that the effects of valence and policy behave additively. These findings paint a picture of electoral competition centered on both a party\u2019s policy offerings and its ability to meaningfully engage in the legislature rather than its continuing existence or the prevalence of incumbent members.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Journal Title \/\u63b2\u8f09\u30b8\u30e3\u30fc\u30ca\u30eb\u540d Party Politics Publication Year and Month \/\u63b2\u8f09\u5e74\u6708 May, 2025 Paper Title \/\u8ad6\u6587\u30bf\u30a4\u30c8\u30eb What bri [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[218,217],"class_list":["post-80814","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-impact-en","tag-impact"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80814","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80814"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80814\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":80816,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80814\/revisions\/80816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
