Wizerunek/postrzeganie partii politycznej (PPP) należy do konstruktów, których zawartość oczekuje na taksonomię naukową. Brak konsensu wśród badaczy co do uniwersalnych kulturowo wymiarów PPP i narzędzi do ich pomiaru uniemożliwia systematyczną kumulację wiedzy na temat determinantów PPP i jego wpływu na decyzje wyborcze. Celem prezentowanych badań leksykalnych jest weryfikacja pięcioczynnikowej struktury PPP i walidacja skal do jego pomiaru. Artykuł przedstawia wyniki sześciu badań przeprowadzonych na polskich wyborcach w latach 2011–2019. Wyniki wskazują na wysoką stabilność pięcioczynnikowej struktury PPP na poziomie różnic indywidualnych (wyborcy) w wymiarach osobowościowych i pozaosobowościowych. Opracowane narzędzie pomiaru PPP cechują satysfakcjonujące wskaźniki psychometryczne oraz wysoka moc wyjaśniająca preferencji politycznych wyborców. Omówiono ograniczenia wynikające z różnych możliwych poziomów analizy struktury wizerunku partii na poziomie wyborcy versus partie.

Political party perception (PPP), or party image, is a construct with an under-researched structure. The lack of scholars’ agreement on the culturally universal dimensions of PPP and its measurement prevents systematic investigations into the determinants of PPP and its influence on voters’ decisions. Our studies expand prior lexical research by verifying the five-factor structure of PPP and validating the scales developed to measure it. We conducted six studies on Polish voters between 2011 and 2019. The findings indicate high stability of PPP structure at the individual level (voters) in three personality-related dimensions and two non-personality dimensions. Our tool for measuring PPP showed satisfactory psychometric properties and high explanatory power of voter political preferences. We also discuss limitations stemming from various levels of analysis of the PPP structure.
