Women's authority in civil society and public discourse (agency) and their political representation are pivotal in reducing the gender gap. with the strongest effect occurring during the formative years journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Economic crises tend to favour the right. Voters tend to assign greater importance to issues owned by the right. When center-right parties preside over a crisis, voters often drift further rightward to nationalist parties rather than defect to the left onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Declining poll numbers trigger a shift towards authoritarian language, while improved polling results reduce such rhetoric. Parties are more likely to use authoritarian rhetoric strategically to appeal to voter concerns near electoral moments www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Citizens’ satisfaction with democracy involves benchmarking, and one benchmark is the authoritarian’s electoral victory abroad link.springer.com/article/10.1...

While all candidates are most likely to focus on their own views, young candidates are more likely than their older colleagues to prioritize the views of voters over their own or their party's doi.org/10.1177/1354...

The results of a well-powered, preregistered endorsement experiment reveal strong sympathies for the Franco regime among radical right voters and show that positive attitudes toward Francoism constitute the main difference with mainstream right electorates www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1...

Around a fifth of adolescents experience ‘teen apathy’: a decline in political interest around ages 13–15, and a surprisingly large share of young citizens have their political future decided already at age 17, or in many cases even at age 11 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

There is a NIMBY effect on renewables, with landscape considerations emerging as a key factor. However, targeted communication about climate benefits and local financial gains, as well as implementing smaller-scale projects, reduces resistance www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Negative tone cues significantly reduce support for the EU, lending support to the pessimist top-down model of politicisation. By contrast, positive tone cues do not significantly affect attitudes towards the EU journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Equal representation does not affect men’s expectations regarding policy output. However, if men are under-represented, most men across various sub-groups believe institutions are less likely to cater to their interests journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Journalists who do not publish problematic content do so because they expect to impact public opinion negatively, in particular, democratic attitudes. The decision to publish is shaped by political and financial interests instead of the public interest academic.oup.com/poq/advance-...

Young men find the gender quota policy more threatening, as it creates more immediate gender competition, thus making them less supportive of this policy www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Despite widespread sexism in all four countries studied, there is no evidence that voter sexism reduces support for women candidates. Partisan preferences matter more than sexist attitudes when it comes to vote choice www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Opposition parties increasingly seek conflict with the government based on their current polling performances, particularly when they are predicted to suffer losses compared to their most recent election result www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Among persons who did not vote in the previous election, turnout is about three percentage points lower if the partner votes early rather than on Election Day. At least among couples, early voting might increase social inequalities in turnout doi.org/10.1016/j.el...

Studying politically-oriented subjects such as arts, humanities and social sciences is associated with democratic citizenship; education appears to encourage democratic support and engagement through the cognitive benefits it confers www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Populism is contagious: when parties are exposed to populist rhetoric from their rivals, they adopt populist rhetoric in future elections journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
