🏁New paper! Social status moderates the effect of belief in meritocracy on economic conflict attitudes. Meritocracy doesn't always legitimize inequality and sometimes it does more :)

Title page of "Caught Between Ideology and Self‐Interest: Subjective Social Status and Meritocratic Beliefs Shape Whether People Perceive, Feel Anger About, and Want to Change Economic Conflict" Abstract: "Belief in meritocracy and social status are central to understanding how people think and behave in relation to economic conflict. In this paper, we investigate how belief in meritocracy is moderated by (subjective) social status for three different aspects of citizens' attitudes towards economic inequality and conflict, namely (1) perceived conflict, (2) anger about economic inequality and (3) intentions to change economic conflict (egalitarianism). Data from the International Social Survey Programme on 29 countries reveal that the effect of meritocracy depends on social status and differs meaningfully across the three attitudes. For people high in social status, belief in meritocracy relates to lower perceptions of conflict, anger, and egalitarianism. For people with a low subjective social status there is no or a weak relation of belief in meritocracy with the outcomes. In addition, when belief in meritocracy was low, those with a high subjective social status appeared to be concerned about inequality as they perceived more economic conflict and felt more anger than those with a low subjective social status. However, this was not the case for intentions to reduce inequality. Hence, these effects of meritocracy and social status should be understood in light of self-interest concerns of social groups, rather than solely ideological domination."

Figure 3: Predicted values of egalitarianism across belief meritocracy and subjective social status.

Dit was twee jaar terug de uitslag van de briefstemmen buiten Nederland, die als ik mijn research goed gedaan heb pas altijd, de dag na de verkiezingen dus vandaag op donderdag worden geteld. Dan moet D66 dat verschil van nu 1382 stemmen op de PVV makkelijk kunnen inlopen.

Ook de laatste dagen van deze verkiezingscampagne is het belangrijk dat redacties en duiders - zeker ook die van talkshows, podcasts, of internetpagina's - peilingen op een juiste manier gebruiken.

De mythe die niet sterft

Ook vandaag herhaalt Vullings dat de PvdA toch écht kiezers verloor aan de PVV. Nadat Marleen de Rooy de uitspraak van Yesilgöz terecht weerlegde (over de PvdA die veel kiezers zou hebben verloren aan de PVV), stelt Vullings dat die overloop langer geleden was dan in 2023.

En daar is hij weer! Joost Vullings @eenvandaag.nl in podcast de stemming: "de pvda heeft de hoop die pvv kiezer waarvan in oorsprong een heel deel uit de sociaaldemocratie komt aan te trekken." Een stelling die meerdere keren als foutief is aangetoond, maar toch als een soort zombie wordt herhaalt🧵

If you are at the @ecpr-ead.bsky.social conference, come to @liranharsgor.bsky.social's panel on Tuesday 15:00 - 16:30 and hear Armin's talk. We document a growing gap in satisfaction with democracy between the lower and the higher educated using APC- analyses of Eurobarometer and ESS data.

After missing my connecting train in Brussels, I am finally on my way to the @ecpr-ead.bsky.social conference. I will be presenting joint work with @nilssteiner.bsky.social on the interplay of education and cohorts in explaining differences in satisfaction with democracy. Looking forward!

🚨 working paper (w. @morganlcj.bsky.social @markuswagner.bsky.social): Protesters are not judged equally - even if tactics of groups are similar.

We ran an experiment in 🇩🇪 testing how people react to farmers vs. climate activists blocking roads.

What we find is disturbing:

Do we systematically prefer educated candidates? Or do educational groups select in ways that reward their own?

This article by @turnbulldugarte.com and I suggests the answers are yes, and yes - but only for the graduate group.

Huge thanks to all who shared their data with us!

Over die mythe van de ‘verloren arbeider’ aan rechts 🧵

Sociaaldemocratisch links stond massaal kiezers af, maar verloor die de afgelopen decennia in overgrote meerderheid aan groene partijen, andere linkse partijen en liberale (midden)partijen. 1/6

and this is why it is an analytical mistake to use “voter without a college degree” to mean “working class voter”
sharonk.bsky.social Sharon @sharonk.bsky.social · Nov 24
this is a YouGov/Jacobin poll but it is funny that it shows that the strongest affinity for swing voting class voters is for uh.... the petit bourgeois owner
Nothing produced a more positive response from poll respondents than hearing that a candidate was a small-business owner. It offered a bigger lift than any political position or demographic feature, and it was popular across Black, Latino and white respondents. Voters also had positive feelings about candidates who were listed as being teachers, veterans or construction workers. Lawyers fared less well, and Fortune 500 C.E.O.s did worst of all.
