Analysis of our #data was conducted for research on #inequality and wellbeing published by the Journal of Happiness Studies (@springernature.com). Sandra Bohmann and Fabian Kalleitner (@lmu.de 🇩🇪 ) investigated whether perceived unfair inequality has a negative effect on #wellbeing.

Subjective Inequity Aversion: How Perceived Unfair Inequality Affects Subjective Well-being - Journal of Happiness Studies

Combining theoretical insights from social justice literature and social comparison research, this paper argues that subjective perceptions of inequity (i.e., unfairness), rather than objective deviations from equality, are key to understanding the relationship between (in)equality and subjective well-being.

Having run similar analyses a while back, I raised an eyebrow when I looked at Fig. 3 of this paper. Examining the code shows that the labels may have been swapped: "Concerned winners" are no more likely to support the AfD than "unconcerned losers" (contrary to what is reported in the paper).

Using German SOEP 2014-2024…concern about immigration accounts for 75% of variation in AfD support and 90% of variation in voting behaviour. “Therefore, variables that measure deprivation explain comparatively little.” @martinschroeder.bsky.social ! journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Very happy to see our book "Trigger Points" finally out in English, and fully open access! Hopefully a useful resource for anyone working on polarization, class, inequality, migration, diversity, and climate change.

Why do our societies seem so deeply divided when most citizens actually occupy a broad political middle ground? @steffenmau.bsky.social, @thomaslux.bsky.social & @lwestheuser.bsky.social unpack this paradox in Trigger Points, pub. today @brisunipress.bsky.social, Foreward @mikesavagelse.bsky.social

It's way past time, so here comes the spring/summer 2026 update of the #FarRight bibliography. It's the third-largest ever and brings you 130 shiny new references, most of them published in the last 12 months. Buckle up for a 🧵 (or click the link for the article. Or do both?)

Meine Studie zeigt, dass die Presse nur selten über die reichsten Deutschen berichtet; wenn, dann konzentriert sich die Berichterstattung auf bekannte Persönlichkeiten und variiert je nach historischem Ursprung des Vermögens (doi.org/10.1177/00380385261428292). Erklärt hier in der @zeit.de:

Wer viel besitzt, bleibt gern unerkannt. Eine Studie hat den verborgenen Wohlstand in Deutschland vermessen. Und zeigt, wie Anonymität den Reichsten nützt.

New in @europeansocreview.bsky.social with brilliant @kostermann.bsky.social & @patzinaalex.bsky.social 🌟 Apprenticeship dropout is known to be associated with €€€ penalties, but less clear whether dropout causes later income losses. Matters for policy: what should interventions target?

Stratified scars: social inequality in the labour market consequences of apprenticeship dropout

Abstract. While the association between apprenticeship dropout and negative labour market consequences is well documented, the causal link and social strat

Extremely happy that my first single-authored paper is now published (open access) at @EJPRjournal: “Asymmetric backlash against structural economic change: the electoral consequences of the coal phase-out in Germany” Here's a summary thread... 1/n

Why Inequalities Persist: Parties’ (Non)Responses to Economic Inequality, 1970–2020 By Alexander Horn, University of Konstanz, Martin Haselmayer, University of Applied Sciences Campus Vienna and University of Vienna, and K. Jonathan Klüser, University of Zurich Do parties respond to inequality?…

Why Inequalities Persist: Parties’ (Non)Responses to Economic Inequality, 1970–2020

By Alexander Horn, University of Konstanz, Martin Haselmayer, University of Applied Sciences Campus Vienna and University of Vienna, and K. Jonathan Klüser, University of Zurich Do parties respond to inequality? Despite the relevance of inequality and its consequences, existing studies fail to capture parties’ emphasis on economic equality and redistribution or to differentiate between existing levels of inequality and increases in inequality.
