Why Is Adherence to Dietary Guidelines Socially Stratified among Adults? The Role of Declarative and Nondeclarative Cultural Capital
Cultural capital is theorized to comprise both a declarative (i.e., deliberate/conscious) and a nondeclarative (i.e., automatic/unconscious) element, also referred to as “embodied.” While the latter is considered crucial in everyday health-related choices and in explaining why members of the higher strata more often make healthier ones, extant quantitative research has been unable to empirically measure it. This study implemented a novel method t…
A straightforward trajectory strengthens support for the transition away from natural gas
In many countries, energy policies have helped start the move away from natural gas to achieve climate neutrality. Public support for this transition, however, is not unequivocal. This might be because renewable energy policies are not well aligned with individuals' perspectives, namely how renewable energy initiatives: 1) relate to personal needs; 2) align with local communities; and 3) raise or abate doubts. Increasing sensitivity to these pers…

The educational divide in climate change attitudes
Research has frequently found that less-educated citizens are more skeptical about climate change and show less trust in climate science than their more-educated counterparts. We advance insights on why this educational divide exists by: 1) scrutinizing the relevance of the dominant knowledge-deficit explanation by uniquely using an objective measure of scientific knowledge; and 2) theorizing and empirically testing a novel explanation on the imp…
Explaining the educational gradient in trust in politicians
Many liberal democracies are characterised by strong educational gradients in political trust: less-educated citizens have strikingly less trust in politicians than more-educated citizens. Informed by a wide body of research, this study tests systematically the empirical relevance of three characteristics of politicians that have been theorised as explanations for the educational gradient in trust in politicians: (1) substantive cultural stances …
Politicians' high-status signals make less-educated citizens more supportive of aggression against government
Various branches of the literature suggest that exposure to the high-status appearances and lifestyles of politicians in contemporary "diploma democracies" affects the attitudes and behavior of less-educated citizens because it confronts them with their lower status in the political domain. Informed by this, we theorize that such exposure inspires docility (a lower subjective social status, weaker feelings of political entitlement) and revolt (an…
Advancing Stratification Research by Measuring Non-declarative Cultural Capital
Cultural capital is a central concept in stratification research. Crucial to the Bourdieusian habitus, upper strata familiarity with the dominant culture is assumed to be ingrained via socialization, allowing its members to smoothly navigate educational institutions and higher segments of the labor market. Although cultural capital is deemed partially implicit, such "non-declarative" or "embodied" cultural capital has largely escaped empirical sc…

The micro–macro interactive approach to political trust
The relevance of the macro‐context for understanding political trust has been widely studied in recent decades, with increasing attention paid to micro–macro level interactive relationships. Most of these studies rely on theorising about evaluation based on the quality of representation, stressing that more‐educated citizens are most trusting of politics in countries with the least corrupt public domains. In our internationally comparative study,…
A revolt of the deplored? The role of perceived cultural distance in the educational gradient in anti-establishment politics
Anti-establishment politics have become part of contemporary Western democracies. Less-educated citizens in particular have been found to display political distrust and populist attitudes, support populist parties, and abstain from voting. We advance a novel explanation for these patterns, drawing on extant theoretical insights to hypothesize that less- and more-educated citizens differ in the extent to which they perceive politicians to be cultu…
They don't know what it's like to be at the bottom
Why is discontent with politicians highest among less-educated citizens? Supplementing explanations concerning a lack of resources and knowledge, we examine the cultural distance to many a politician perceived by this group. Inspired by qualitative studies mapping the worldviews of people from the lower social strata, we explore less-educated citizens' perceptions of politicians using in-depth (group) interviews carried out in various regions of …
Dutch Covid-19 lockdown measures increased trust in government and trust in science
The Educational Gradient in Trust in Politicians in the Netherlands
Much of the educational gradient in trust in politicians remains unexplained by prevailing theories on material resources and institutional knowledge. Our novel explanation theorizes that: in its relationship with trust in politicians, education is a status indicator; and the lower trust in politicians among the less educated reflects the latter's opposition to the former's status signaling. Analyses of representative Dutch survey data (n = 1,296…
