摘要

This comparative analysis focuses on the interaction between the construction of the “political self” and the “moral self” and political behavior. The data derive from an online survey with a sample of 534 Greek citizens, employing symbolic representation and advanced multivariate methods, using hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and factorial correspondence analysis (FCA) in two steps. The analysis detects distinct profiles of respondents, based on their “democratic” and “moral” characteristics enabling us to uncover distinct discourses of political culture and behaviors. The first model reveals four groups of culture-behavior, characterized by the antagonisms between [mobilization–trust institutions–democracy as a struggle or parliamentary] and [apathy–reject institutions–democracy as ancient Greece, corruption, protest or direct]. The second model highlights the critical role of information sources, moral values, and political mobilization, revealing a typology on the poles: non-mobilization–naturalistic values, personal success, and enjoyment–tradition–passive information from television or social circle. The moral framework of values further outlined contrasts: progress versus preservation and aggression/power versus altruism/calmness. The two models offer a multidimensional interpretive framework for Greek political culture, structured around three principal axes: (1) institutional trust versus systemic suspicion; (2) collectivist solidarity versus individual self-interest; and (3) tradition-bound authority versus progress-based pluralism. Visualizing these discourses, internal antagonisms—differences and similarities in a two-dimensional semantic map—offer explicit insights into the Greek political landscape but also contribute to the broader field using HCA and FCA as a robust tool for comparative analysis.
