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. stukroodvlees.nl/peilingen-du... Dus niet cherrypicken: één bron is geen bron.

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.

Only 10 days left to apply for this phd position on education-based identities, status, and political attitudes! Open to those interested in sociology, social psychology, political science, communication science or indeed a combination of all. jobs.vub.be/job/Elsene-P...

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.

Laten we er de allersaaiste verkiezingscampagne ooit van proberen te maken

Polarisatie en wantrouwen in politiek wordt gevoed door juist dit soort sneren als nieuws te pushen. Nieuwsmedia zoals @nu.nl zouden beter moeten weten.

📢 We're hiring a 4-year postdoc (0.8 FTE) at Erasmus Univ. Rotterdam for project on climate change meanings Focus: Italian case (focus groups, survey, experiments) PhD in Sociology (or related), fluent in Italian 🗓️ Deadline: June 11 #postdoc #sociology #academicjobs #Italy #climatechange

🚨 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: osf.io/preprints/os...

De rode lijn is ver overschreden. Terwijl het kabinet Wilders-Yeşilgöz wegkijkt terwijl de regering van Netanyahu zich schuldig maakt aan oorlogsmisdaden, gaan Nederlanders de straat op met een heldere boodschap: kabinet, spreek je uit en voer de druk op! 1/3

🏫 How central is schooling in your country? In their new #Socius study, Drs. Kavadias, @bramspruyt.bsky.social & @tkupp.bsky.social introduce the Schooled Society Index—a global measure of how #education acts as a force of #institutionalization and #stratification. Read: doi.org/10.1177/2378...

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🧵

📢Proud to share my first publication in European Union Politics, now online and #OpenAccess! I examine which of 19 European countries (1990–2017) saw culture wars emerge in public opinion. I analyze how opinions and identities on morality and economic issues aligned into distinct ideological camps🧵

Mooie meta-analyse in lijn met ons paper in PSPB èn met ons stuk in de Volkskrant: duidelijke ingroup bias onder hoger opgeleiden (en niet onder lager opgeleiden) in hun stemvoorkeuren

Hoezo is er geen bewijs voor onderwijsgebonden vooroordelen? In @volkskrant.nl met @tkupp.bsky.social en @bramspruyt.bsky.social

Hebben we net Frans en Duits afgeschaft, blijkt de toekomst Frans en Duits te zijn.

First issue of 2025 is out! New research findings -most #openaccess- at academic.oup.com/esr/issue/41/1 With contributions by @frankvantubergen.bsky.social @aliciagsierra.bsky.social @martinkolk.bsky.social @nellageurts.bsky.social @jochemvannoord.eu & many more (not found in BS, sorry if they are)

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

🏁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 :) Published with @bramspruyt.bsky.social Filip Van Droogenbroeck and @tkupp.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/1468...

This conversation between Thomas Piketty and Michael Sandel took my understanding of the current political moment to a higher level. I've gifted it to Bluesky, so the paywall at the NY Times won't interfere with your reading.

Out now in Nature Human Behaviour: Our 68-country #survey on public attitudes to #science 📣 It shows: People still #trust scientists and support an active role of scientists in society and policy-making. #OpenAccess available here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... @natureportfolio.bsky.social (1/13)

And here's the share without higher education!

Mine and @dvandebroeck.bsky.social’s paper on ‘The Labor of Distinction’ is out now in ASR. Drawing from an ethnography that involved training and working as a butler, we tell a larger story about elites and inequality (1/18) journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

and this is why it is an analytical mistake to use “voter without a college degree” to mean “working class voter”

There is verification on this site - via using a domain name as your username. samcoatessky could likewise be fake. But if Sky made samcoates(dot)sky(dot)social that they could do right away, we’d know it was legit. Tories could do likewise.

Do we systematically prefer educated candidates? Or do educational groups select in ways that reward their own? A note at @thejop.bsky.social by @turnbulldugarte.bsky.social and I suggests the answers are yes, and yes – but only for the graduate group. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1...

🏁New paper @ESR_news! We explore, with correlational class analysis, the variaties of belief systems across 23 European countries. We investigate differences in density, dimensionality, demography, and relation to voting behavior. doi.org/10.1093/esr/...

As part of a large collaboration of social psychologists and sociologists, we tried to understand belief system structure across Europe osf.io/9r84f

🏁New paper! We find that affective bias towards 'the higher educated' is associated with more political trust, satisfaction w/ democracy and less populism In @actapolitica.bsky.social with Toon Kuppens, @bramspruyt.bsky.social Leandros Kavadias, Celine Darnon & Medhi Marot doi.org/10.1057/s412...

In January, we are going to launch the Progressive Politics Research Network (PPRNet). It is our goal to make research findings more accessible for the broader public and to engage with journalists, politicians and other practitioners. We focus on the left and progressive field.

New paper now conditionally accepted at @thejop.bsky.social With @elizabethsim0n.bsky.social - one of the best (& nicest) people in polisky - we ran a meta analysis looking at effects of educational group-based biases in candidate choice experiments. 👉https://doi.org/10.31219/osf.io/hrufe
