Abstract
On the basis of logistic regression and employing individual-level data from a national panel sample survey, participation in demonstrations and strikes during the French upheaval of May 1968 is analysed, in terms of attitudes measured during the spring of 1967, more than a year before the May events occurred. Among the potential explanatory factors considered, conventional political orientations were found to be of pervasive importance, forms of satisfaction and opinions on major issues were operative in a highly selective fashion, particular to the protesting group, and more generic psychopolitical values such as trust in government or political efficacy, were virtually without independent effects.
