@roelandendtz.bsky.social
PhD candidate in experimental sociology at @ipp-csic.bsky.social and @uc3m.es, researching how political norms are maintained among citizens.
A shot in the dark for #academicsky: I am looking for a recurring national survey tracking attitudes on gay adoption/marriage through self-completed/online surveys. Ideally, it would cover years both pre- and post-legalisation. Eternal gratitude to the person who can help me out!

To maintain our democracy, it is said that we should uphold democratic norms. But do these norms really exist among citizens? And do they play favourites when enforcing them? I got to present preliminary findings on this at the Workshop Social Norms in the Political Domain at @ipp-csic.bsky.social.

One of the dumbest posts, if not the dumbest, of 2025 — and also one of the most damaging, in terms of curbing Dem willingness to lead public opinion on immigration. Look at where that graph is now!

Fitting: Dutch governmental news broadcaster NOS announces that it will stop posting on X from today onwards due to unmoderated vitriol. One of the top commenters below their last post, with blackface profile picture, wishes cancer to these “disgusting left-wing cancer fascists.”

Labour is desperately trying to appeal to Reform supporters. In October, we asked people in the UK if they perceive a party as a "party for someone like them". Only very few people say this for both Labour and Reform. The correlation is negative. Labour is chasing an electorate that does not exist.

Not as much of an expert as some commenting on this, but I feel like the "welp, this is the end of online survey research" response is a bit defeatist. Provided that the recommendations made in this paper are followed (!!!), I think a transformation of how surveys are implemented is more likely.
new paper by Sean Westwood:

With current technology, it is impossible to tell whether survey respondents are real or bots. Among other things, makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate outcomes. No good news here for the future of online-based survey research

Reading How Democracies Die again, and while the accuracy of a lot of the predictions about the future of US democracy is astounding, the one about who would make up the American resistance is not. Spot the odd one out:

Also, before people start claiming a PVV win: postal votes from citizens abroad haven’t been counted yet. These were the results last time, with dark blue representing the postal vote:

Given that b) wasn't the case, the PVV did shrink, with voters citing its exclusion by other parties as their reason to switch. A tiny silver lining in an otherwise pretty depressing election: the radical right is as large as ever and the left smaller than ever.
As others, I’m sceptical that Geert Wilders’ decision to blow up the coalition will result in electoral gains. That would require a) another election dominated by the issue of migration and b) VVD publically flirting with the idea of co-governing with PVV. It’s unlikely that both will be the case.

Housing discrimination undermines a fundamental right and generates distortions that limit collective prosperity.

Today we are happy to publish in Social Forces an article on this phenomenon using experimental methods!

Methodological question for #Polisky or #Academicsky: I struggle a bit with online list experiments aiming to bypass social desirability. After all, there's no need to appear appropriate in an anonymous online survey to begin with, unlike f2f. Does anyone know of a paper that contradicts my hunch?

Yesterday, 1500 far-right protesters blocked highways in The Hague, attacked police offers and demolished the headquarters of the liberal @d66.nl party. The biggest newspaper in the Netherlands today: mostly crickets, and an interview with the organiser about how sad this was for her.

The far-right majority in the Dutch parliament (BBB-FvD-JA21-PVV-SGP-VVD) has just designated “Antifa” a terrorist organization.

This is a dark day for Dutch democracy and the final nail in the coffin of the VVD as a serious liberal democratic party.

This is a convincing takedown of the new strategy of social democrats around the world, and should be a clear warning for @groenlinks-pvda.bsky.social, who are at risk of following the same path with their recent proposal to cut migration in half.

Meanwhile in the Netherlands: a popular singer cancelled his performance at a festival because pro-Israel flyers were being circulated there. Now, our "mainstream right" party has rallied against him to such an extent that that he's had to leave the country with his family due to threats.
Wat hier gebeurt is voor onderzoekers en slachtoffers van online politiek geweld geen enkele verrassing. Yesilgöz c.s. hebben met hun gerichte aanval op Douwe Bob een beerput opengetrokken. In de politieke communicatiewetenschap observeren we al enige tijd een toename van aanvallen op 1/n

And last but not least, there is an overall imbalance by gender (about 60/40), but with variation across institutions.
