Are policy and process preferences structured by the same ideological dimensions? In a new paper now out in journals.sagepub.com/toc/iptb/21/2 I argue that policy preferences are associated with support for different logics of collective decision-making. More empirical research in the making!

Very happy to see this paper by my PhD student Leonard Häfner published in @repjournal.bsky.social
Using data from legislator surveys we conducted in Germany and the US, he shows how legislators' conceptions of democracy affect their representation styles.

If you are interested in a more comprehensive account of the relationship between mental health and political behavior, you should pre-order Christopher’s fantastic new book. The Sad Citizen is the book I would have wanted to read 20 years ago, right after Ehrenberg’s. Thank you, Christopher!

Our third paper, with Pauls Weingärtner and now out in Electoral Studies, analyzes effects of depression on how citizens evaluate democracy across different dimensions.

Our second paper, with @lbernardi.bsky.social, looked at the gender gap in political interest and at how depressive symptoms affect interest differently in men and women and was published in Electoral Studies.

Our first paper was published in @apsrjournal.bsky.social and could show that depressive symptoms have, across a large number of countries, significant negative effects on electoral turnout and political participation.

But it wasn’t until I met @christopherojeda.bsky.social in 2017 that I could develop my vague interest in the matter into an empirical research agenda. Building on Christopher’s earlier work, we devised a set of studies looking at effects of depressive symptoms on political attitudes.

20 years ago, I was intrigued by this book by Alain Ehrenberg (also available in English: The Weariness of the Self, 2009). One of my first academic publications was a reflection (or rather: speculation) on effects that a growing prevalence of depression has on democracy.

I have a new paper out in @electoralstudies.bsky.social with @christopherojeda.bsky.social and Paul Weingärtner. 🎉
Using data from @ess-survey.bsky.social and @gesis-panel.bsky.social, we explore the relationship between depressive symptoms and evaluations of democracy.
