Do Youth Bulges Affect Voting and Protesting? An Age-Period-Cohort Analysis
Most African countries are experiencing a youth bulge, where a very large proportion of their populations are made up of young people. How might this affect political participation? To understand this, we conduct an age-period-cohort analysis for two forms of participation: voting and protesting. We find that age has an inverted U-shaped, curvilinear relationship with voting, while there is a negative cohort effect. Protesting becomes less likely…
Take Five? Testing the Cultural and Experiential Theories of Generalised Trust Against Five Criteria
Is generalised trust stable or changeable? The ‘cultural’ theory argues that trust is a relatively fixed personality trait, while the ‘experiential’ theory contends that life experiences can alter trust during adulthood. But these two theories have been tested using a variety of different criteria whose differences have seemingly never been acknowledged explicitly. In this article, I map out these five different criteria, formulating specific hyp…
What's my age again? An age-period-cohort analysis of generalised trust in Africa
Most African countries are experiencing a ‘youth bulge’—a large proportion of young people in their populations. What effect might this have on generalised trust? Using a cross-classified random effects model (CCREM) on Afrobarometer data, we show that (1) higher age is correlated with higher generalised trust in Africa, and (2) this is at least partly the result of the ageing process itself and not merely due to period or cohort effects. Both of…
Political crisis and social trust
Trust in Australian political institutions has declined markedly since 2007. Trust scholars and social capital theorists argue that institutional trust affects social trust, which implies that declining trust in political institutions should also reduce social trust. However, using data from the Australian Election Study, World Values Survey and HILDA panel study, I find no evidence of any aggregate-level decline in Australian social trust since …
Rent-Free in Your Head? How Generalised Trust is Affected by the Trust and Salience of Outgroups
What is the relationship between people's trust in specified outgroups (such as 'French people' or 'immigrants') and their generalised trust? This relationship has never been empirically tested, which is troubling for the large body of research on the link between ethnic diversity and trust which seemingly assumes that outgroup trust does affect generalised trust. In this paper, I use individual-level survey data to examine how outgroup trust aff…
Does Language Foster Reconciliation? Evidence From the Former Yugoslavia
Despite a surge in research on post-conflict reconciliation, the specific factors which promote reconciliation remain a subject of debate. In particular, the possible role of shared language in fostering reconciliation has received little scholarly attention. This paper examines two possible channels through which shared language may facilitate reconciliation, and tests these using a new survey dataset of 446 individuals from Serbia. As expected,…
Diversity, semi-communication and cross-country trust
Existing trust research has often failed to account for the possibility that communication impairments brought on by language barriers could explain low levels of trust both within and between countries. To test whether this is the case, I construct an 'index of communication potential' for a sample of 359 cross-country dyads composed of 21 European countries. Although similar indexes have been used previously, this is the first one to include in…
