When Populists Win but Are Excluded From Power: Explaining Post‐Electoral Dynamics of Democratic Satisfaction
This article investigates the dynamics of satisfaction with democracy when a populist party wins an election but is subsequently excluded from governing. While classic research highlights winner–loser gaps as a key determinant of democratic satisfaction, we argue that under proportional representation, especially in times of rising populism, post-electoral dynamics unfold in two distinct stages shaped not only by electoral results but also by coa…
From crisis governance to electoral normality and the longest coalition negotiations: The 2024 Austrian parliamentary election
Not a Bioweapon, or is it? The Role of Perceived Threats and Media Use in Covid-19 Misperceptions
The COVID-19 pandemic not only posed unprecedented threats to public health and economic stability but also triggered a crisis of information, described by the World Health Organization as an “infodemic.” Against this backdrop, this study explores the dynamics of COVID-19 misperceptions through the lens of Appraisal Theory and the Reinforcing Spirals Model, examining how perceived threats and media exposure shaped belief updating and reinforcemen…

Misinformedness about the European Union and the Preference to Vote to Leave or Remain
European politicians have become increasingly concerned about the possible distorting effects of citizens not only being un informed, but systematically mis informed about the European Union (EU). Against this background, this study assesses the role of EU knowledge in shaping the preference to vote to leave or remain in a (hypothetical) referendum on EU membership using cross‐national survey data that were collected simultaneously in eight EU co…
Participation in the administration of elections and perceptions of electoral integrity
In recent years, election administration has become a subject of intensified debates, raising questions of how to organize elections to ensure electoral integrity. One question concerns who should serve as members of polling station boards, administer election day proceedings, and participate in the vote count. Different models co-exist in modern democracies, with some countries – among them Austria – actively involving the political parties in t…
Policy-Relevant Attitudes Toward Covid-19 Vaccination: Associations With Demography, Health Risk, and Social and Political Factors
Background: Vaccination is considered to be a key public health intervention to end the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, the success of the intervention is contingent on attitudes toward vaccination and the design of vaccination policies. Methods: We conduct cross-sectional analyses of policy-relevant attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination using survey data of a representative sample of Austrian residents collected by the Austrian Corona Panel Project (ACP…
Rally round the flag: The Covid-19 crisis and trust in the national government
During international crises, trust in government is expected to increase irrespective of the wisdom of the policies it pursues. This has been called a ‘rally-round-the-flag’ effect. This article examines whether the COVID-19 crisis has resulted in such a rally effect. Using multi-wave panel surveys conducted in Austria and France starting from March 2020, in the article it is examined how government trust was affected by the perceived threats to …
The Austrian Corona Panel Project: Monitoring individual and societal dynamics amidst the Covid-19 crisis
Systematic and openly accessible data are vital to the scientific understanding of the social, political, and economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. This article introduces the Austrian Corona Panel Project (ACPP), which has generated a unique, publicly available data set from late March 2020 onwards. ACPP has been designed to capture the social, political, and economic impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the Austrian population on a weekly…
A Two-Stage Theory of Discussant Influence on Vote Choice in Multiparty Systems
This article addresses two aspects of social network influence on voters’ electoral choices that are not well understood: the role of party systems as institutional contexts and the relationship between social pressure and information sharing as mechanisms of influence. It argues that in the cleavage-based multiparty systems of Western Europe, discussant influence at elections occurs in two stages. First, discussants place social pressure on vote…
The Impact of Online versus Offline Campaign Information on Citizens’ Knowledge, Attitudes and Political Behaviour: Comparing the German Federal Elections of 2005 and 2009
Against the background of the debate about how the internet changes democratic processes, this article assesses the impact of online versus offline campaign information on citizens' knowledge, attitudes and political behaviour using data from two pre-/post-election surveys conducted at the German federal elections in 2005 and 2009. Our results show that sophisticated and less sophisticated citizens alike gain knowledge when using online informati…
Why Voters Decide Late: A Simultaneous Test of Old and New Hypotheses at the 2005 and 2009 German Federal Elections
Against the background of a substantial rise of the number of late-deciding voters at recent elections the paper simultaneously tests four complementary hypotheses on the background of contemporary electors' timing of decision making. The traditional floating voter hypothesis fares best in this analysis: lacking partisan predispositions and a general detachment from politics appear as the main reasons why people take longer to make up their minds…
