In je eigen bubbel: Hoe politiek homogeen zijn de sociale netwerken van Nederlandse kiesgerechtigden
Living in a bubble: How politically homogenous are the social networks of the Dutch electorate? Political network homogeneity is the extent to which a person’s network is composed of politically like-minded people. We studied whether voters know what people in their network voted and the similarity in voting between voters and their network, distinguishing between proximate and distant networks. Data was collected after the parliamentary election…
Are the police unique? Gender differences in attrition among Dutch police staff relative to other public subsectors
While representation of women in policing is improving, research shows that women do leave policing settings more often than their male colleagues. This disproportionate attrition of women in policing not only slows improvement of gender equality, but can also affect legitimacy and service outcomes. Using monthly employment register data of all new employees of the Dutch policing sector between 2014 and 2023 (N = 33,210), this study investigated …
Earnings Trajectories Around Parenthood: Male Same‐Sex Couples in Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden
Objective This study examines earnings trajectories of male same‐sex couples around the time they become parents in Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden: three forerunners in advancing same‐sex couples' legal rights but with different family policy frameworks. Background Research shows that parenthood increases within‐couple economic inequality for different‐sex couples, but less so for female same‐sex couples. Male same‐sex couples face unique c…
How does ethnic minority youth's dual self‐identification affect the formation of interethnic ties in friendship networks
In an increasingly ethnically diverse Europe, this study examined the potential of dual identifiers, those identifying with both a national majority and an ethnic minority, such as German-Turkish individuals, to facilitate integration. As members of two groups, dual identifiers may be in the advantageous position to form more interethnic connections in ethnically diverse social networks. We propose that dual identifiers' intergroup behavior and t…
Family-friendly policies and workplace supports: A meta-analysis of their effects on career, job, and work-family outcomes
Today, many individuals face the challenge of combining work and family responsibilities. To help employees tackle the issues they face when juggling work and family, organizations often provide formal family-friendly policies. In addition, other people in the workplace, such as supervisors and coworkers, can support employees in an informal way in work and family reconciliation. In this study, we provide the most comprehensive meta-analytic revi…
Socialisation and ethnic majorities’ attitudes towards ethnic minorities: A systematic review and meta-analysis of correlational evidence
The Impact of Social Norms on Cohesion and (De)Polarization
In recent years, political and social polarization has increased across many societies, evolving from mere issue‐based disagreements into affective polarization, in which citizens dislike and distrust members of opposing groups. This trend undermines social cohesion and the effective functioning of democratic institutions. Despite extensive interdisciplinary research into polarization, the role of social norms—shared expectations about typical an…
Interethnic Contact Norms and Interethnic Dating Among Ethnic Majority and Minority Adolescents in The Netherlands
This study examines the role of school‐based environmental factors in shaping interethnic dating patterns among adolescents in the Netherlands. Given that adolescence is a formative period for social behavior, early interethnic dating experiences may foster openness to interethnic marriage later in life. This article focuses on how general peer approval of the outgroup and descriptive norms (i.e., the prevalence of interethnic relationships) infl…
Workplace variation in migrant job searches: Cohesion unites, bonuses do not divide
Dutch workplaces suffer from labor shortages, and interest in diverse workforces is growing, making the retention of employees with a migration background vital. Yet, migrant employees continue to experience exclusion in the workplace, making them more likely to job search than non-migrant employees. This article is novel because it locates drivers of migrant job searches at the organizational level and examines the impact of indicators of relati…
Media influences on ethnic majority attitudes toward ethnic minorities: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Workplace friendships of men and women: Examining employee gender, manager gender and gender composition in European workplaces
Purpose The study investigates gender differences in workplace friendships, focusing on the number of friends, the gender of friends and the extent of same-gender friendships accounting for workplace characteristics shaping these differences. Design/methodology/approach We used three-level data (employees nested in departments and organizations) from six different sectors across nine countries and multilevel mixed-effects models to test the hypot…
Differential effects of positive versus negative contact: The importance of distinguishing valence from intensity
More and more research is considering the effects of both positive and negative intergroup contact on intergroup attitudes. To date, little is known about what factors may differentially influence these effects. We propose that differentiating not only between positive and negative contact (i.e., its valence), but also considering the intensity (i.e., low or high positivity/negativity) of contact valence is critical to understanding contact effec…
Not leaving your unsatisfactory job: Analyzing Female, Migrant, Elderly and Lower-Educated Employees
Purpose Employees facing challenges in their careers – i.e. female, migrant, elderly and lower-educated employees – might expect job searches to have a low likelihood of success and might therefore more often stay in unsatisfactory positions. The goal of this study is to discover inequalities in job mobility for these employees. Design/methodology/approach We rely on a large sample of Dutch public sector employees ( N = 30,709) and study whether …
Doing Genders: Partner's Gender and Labor Market Behavior
Partnered men and women show consistently gendered patterns of labor market behavior. We test whether not only a person's own gender, but also their partner's gender shapes hours worked. We use Dutch administrative population data on almost 5,000 persons who had both male and female partners, whose hours worked we observe monthly over 15 years. We argue that this provides a unique setting to assess the relevance of partner's gender for labor mark…
Longitudinal Changes in Interracial Hate Crimes in the USA, 1990–2014: Does Racial Composition Matter
Studies on the relationship between racial composition and interracial hate crimes are largely cross-sectional, while little is known about longitudinal developments. This paper examines the impact of longitudinal changes in the racial composition of regions on interracial hate crimes in the USA. We use official statistics on 120,000 White on Black hate crimes that were committed across 3500 regions in the period between 1990 and 2014. Applying l…
Money, Birth, Gender: Explaining Unequal Earnings Trajectories following Parenthood
Using population register data from the Netherlands, we analyze the child penalty for new parents in three groups of couples: different-sex and female same-sex couples with a biological child and different-sex couples with an adopted child. With a longitudinal design, we follow parents' earnings from two years before to eight years after the arrival of the child and use event study models to estimate the effects of the transition to parenthood on…
Social Capital and Its Returns as an Explanation for Early Labor Market Success of Majority and Minority Members in the Netherlands
This paper tests whether social capital can explain differences in labor market success between ethnic majority and minority members. To overcome problems of reverse causality-labor market success is not only the result of social capital, but also leads to better networks-the focus is on adolescents who enter the labor market. Data from the 'Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Survey' are used (N = 2574) and matched to register data from Statisti…
Dynamic contact effects: Individuals’ positive and negative contact history influences intergroup contact effects in a behavioral game
89, 1,513 interactions). As expected, participants showed a clear ingroup bias in expectations and cooperation. Furthermore, the quality of contact history moderated contact effects. Specifically, intergroup contact following a positive history of intergroup contact had a stronger effect on intergroup expectations than contact following a negative history thereof. Findings are discussed in view of the importance of considering the valenced histor…
Avoidance in action: Negative tie closure in balanced triads among pupils over time
Same-Sex Couples’ Division of Labor from a Cross-National Perspective
This study concerns how male and female same-sex couples across countries organize their paid and household labor. Using unique data compiled from multiple national surveys in 7 western countries (N = 723), we examined same-sex couples’ paid and household task allocation and evaluate descriptively how this is associated with countries’ gender egalitarianism. For paid labor, results indicate that female same-sex couples spend less time in total on…
Avoidance, antipathy, and aggression: A three-wave longitudinal network study on negative networks, status, and heteromisos
Our aim is to explain negative networks in Dutch high schools, using three-wave stochastic actor oriented models (SAOMs). We differentiate between avoidance, antipathy, and aggression based on how costly and visible these behaviours are. Our results show that pupils’ ethnicity does not explain negative ties. Moreover, we do not find that negative ties form archetypical social hierarchies, formed by networks that are asymmetrical and transitive. I…
Parentalization of Same-Sex Couples: Family Formation and Leave Rights in Five Northern European Countries
This chapter introduces the concept of parentalization , defined as the ability to become parents and be recognized as such, both legally and via social policies. Applying the concept to same-sex couples, we examine how states may facilitate or hinder the transition to parenthood through laws and policies in five Northern European countries; Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and the Netherlands. Trends in the number of children zero years of age …
Vrouwen in leidinggevende functies: Beschrijving en verklaring van ontwikkelingen in Nederland tussen 1985 en 2008
Women in positions of authority Description and explanation of developments in the Netherlands from 1985 to 2008 Women still have limited access to positions of authority in the workplace. Although the slow progress in this regard is much debated, research shedding light on trends in women’s workplace authority remains scarce, particularly outside the US. Moreover, rigorous empirical tests of which processes drive developments in women’s access t…
On the relation between age and the importance attached to historical events
The critical years hypothesis is an influential hypothesis in the social sciences. According to this hypothesis, events occurring during adolescence or young adulthood are most important. This hypothesis is significant because if generations do indeed differ from each other because they were socialized in different contexts, the succession of generations has the potential to change societies. In this study, we test the validity of the critical ye…
Intergenerational transmission of gender segregation: How parents’ occupational field affects gender differences in field of study choices
The study explores how parents’ occupational field affects gender differences in educational fields. On the one hand, the theory of direct transfer predicts that adolescents enter fields similar to those of their parents because of intergenerational transmission of occupation‐specific resources and that adolescents are more likely to draw upon the resources provided by the higher‐status parent. On the other hand, the theory of sex‐role learning p…
Support for radical left ideologies in E urope
This article examines support for radical left ideologies in 32 E uropean countries. It thus extends the relatively scant empirical research available in this field. The hypotheses tested are derived mainly from group‐interest theory. Data are deployed from the 2002–2010 E uropean Social Surveys ( N = 174,868), supplemented by characteristics at the country level. The results show that, also in the new millennium, unemployed people and those with…
Religion as Catalyst or Restraint of Radical Right Voting
It is often found that religious people are underrepresented among the radical right electorate, despite radical right parties' claim of being defenders of the Judeo-Christian society. This study investigates this paradoxical finding and examines to what extent two dimensions of religion-practice and belief-play a role in voting for a radical right party across seven West European countries. Using the European Values Study from 2008, it was found…

A longitudinal study of euroscepticism in the Netherlands: 2008 Versus 1990
With a unique longitudinal data set covering a time-span of 18 years, we test to what extent euroscepticism evolved among the Dutch between 1990 and 2008. We compare Eurosceptic attitudes on the eve of the signing of the Treaty of Maastricht with attitudes after the Dutch ‘no’ in the referendum on the European Constitution. We find a strong increase in euroscepticism among the Dutch. This change did not develop evenly across the educational strat…
Horrors of Holland: Explaining Attitude Change Towards Euthanasia and Homosexuals in The Netherlands, 1970 1998
In this paper we investigate changes in public opinion in the Netherlands towards two controversial issues: homosexuals and euthanasia. We find that a rapid decrease in opposition to both issues in the seventies and early eighties was followed by a period of a stable minority opposition. We identify relevant period and cohort indicators to test which characteristics are associated with the changes in the attitudes. We collected period and cohort …

Parents, Children and the Distance between Them: Long Term Socialization Effects in the Netherlands
In this paper, we investigate the extent to which parents affect attitudes of their children and to what extent these parental influences vary with family characteristics. We use a Dutch survey with a representative sample and study attitudes toward three issues: euthanasia, homosexuality and the presence of ethnic minorities in the Netherlands . We include information from primary respondents, their parents and their siblings in structural equat…
Primary and Secondary Socialization Impacts on Support for Same-Sex Marriage After Legalization in the Netherlands
Two years after the legalization of same-sex marriages in the Netherlands, 65% of the Dutch population largely or completely disagrees with the statement 'gay marriage should be abolished.' This article shows, by way of multinomial logistic regression analysis of survey data, which socializing agents influence one's attitude toward same-sex marriage after its legalization (FNB2003; N = 2,124). Parents' attitudes toward homosexuality during one's …

Can Interethnic Friends Buffer for the Prejudice Increasing Effect of Negative Interethnic Contact? A Longitudinal Study of Adolescents in the Netherlands
This study examined interethnic prejudice among 4,238 secondary school pupils in the Netherlands. It builds upon previous research in two ways. First, it advances our understanding of the interplay between positive and negative intergroup contact experiences by testing whether positive intergroup contact serves as a buffer for the prejudice-enhancing effect of negative intergroup contact, as well as the other way around. Secondly, by using longit…
Explaining age differences in positive attitudes towards national commemorations: The Role of What People Commemorate
Commemorations of shared national history are important to the process of nation‐building. Support for such national commemorations is not, however, evenly distributed in societies. Because this could endanger the possible integrative function of commemorative ceremonies, it is important to understand the sources of structural differences in support. In this article, age differences in support for national commemorations in the Netherlands are ex…

National day participation among immigrants in the Netherlands: The Role of Familiarity With Commemorating and Celebrating
This study explores to what extent varying levels of host national day participation among immigrants can be explained by previous participatory experiences related to their country of origin, in addition to socio-cultural factors related to the current country of residence. Utilising data from a large online immigrant panel, we concentrate on two prominent national days in the Netherlands: Remembrance Day and Liberation Day. On these days, Dutch…

Extreme politieke oriëntaties in Europa - Verklaringen op micro- en macroniveau
In this study, we set out to explain extreme left-wing and extreme right-wing ideologies within and between 30 European countries in a multi-level framework. To test our hypotheses, we use data from the European Social Surveys of 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2010 (N = 176.803), enriched with country characteristics. Our results show that lower educated people and manual workers are more likely to support left-wing extremism, because they are of the…
