🌅📙 64.3 #GovernmentTrust These authors (🧵⬇️) use experiments in 🇬🇧🇭🇷🇪🇸🇦🇷 & 🇫🇷 to determine what has the most influence on citizen's trust. They also looked at how different trust-related qualities interact and how people's own traits change the effects. 🔗 buff.ly/H5wjxBl

I am really proud about this publication on trust, with Chaïm la Roi and @cvalebeek.bsky.social . Using unique panel data, we show (1) that trust has a dispositional element among adults, and (2) that these trust attitudes are socialized during adolescence. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Socialized to (Dis)trust? A Panel Study into the Origins of Dispositional Institutional Trust - Social Indicators Research

A longstanding argument in the field of institutional trust reads that trust is the outcome of a process of socialization. This approach suggests that institutional trust may be understood as a set di...

Wrote a piece for the @uk.theconversation.com about our study just published in @bjpols.bsky.social: "If it’s something about the way politics is practised that citizens distrust, perhaps those politics need to change." Some more nuggets from our study below! 👇 theconversation.com/trust-in-pol...

Óháð því hvað okkur finnst um loforðið (mér finnst það galið), þá er alveg rétt hjá Singa og Simma að það er óheiðarlegt að segja fyrir kosningar að eitthvað sé ófrávíkjanlegt skilyrði fyrir stjórnarmyndun og segja svo bara eftir kosningar að það hefði þurft hreinan meirihluta... #kryddsíld

Are you interested in political trust but think 'actually, it's a bit more complicated than that'? You'd be right! In a draft paper, we use original data from 13 surveys across 11 countries & 52 focus groups w/ 311 participants in 8 countries, arguing that trust, mistrust, & distrust are distinct:

New article in Journal of Communication looking at changes to trust in news across 46 countries in the last 10 years. Trust in news declined in just over half of countries. It decreased more in countries where TV news use has declined, and/or where social media news use has grown. A thread:

Abstract . Changing levels of public trust in the news are of deep concern to both researchers and practitioners. We use data from 2015 to 2023 in 46 count

The use of the term "populist" is perhaps irresponsible here, at least for a European readership: in the US, economic populism tends to refer to (perhaps simplistic) policies "for people", but "populism" generally refers more to us vs. them rhetoric, demagoguery and nativism (esp. in Europe).

Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday unveiled an aggressively populist economic agenda, providing the most detailed vision yet of her governing priorities since becoming the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.
