Striking a chord or missing the beat: Citizen perspectives on narrative resonance and value alignment in the Dutch energy transition
Despite ambitious emission reduction policies, many Dutch citizens remain disconnected from the national energy transition, limiting necessary civic engagement. While effective narration has been shown to matter for public resonance with the energy transition, little research addresses how resonance barriers may be shaped by citizens' own perceptions. To bridge this gap, this qualitative study analyzed value-sensitive interviews with a cross-sect…
Tell me a story I can believe in: Aligning framing with personal values in energy transition narratives
Successfully transitioning to decarbonized energy systems requires broad public engagement, yet citizens often remain disconnected from transition goals, including in the Netherlands. In response, message framing has frequently been proposed as a way to enhance engagement. At the same time, environmental psychology research suggests that environmental attitudes and behaviors are shaped by people's personal values, raising doubts about whether fra…
Tell me what is on the line and make it personal: Energizing Dutch homeowners through message framing
Behavioural scientists in the field of climate change communication call for a better understanding of how information provided to the public should be presented in order to be effective. The aim of this research is to connect insights from framing theory with message processing theory and regulatory focus theory to see whether public communication can effectively affect pro-environmental behavioural change. The framing types that are of interest…
Listen to us: How Dutch subnational governments together use public affairs to create a favorable position in the national and European political arenas
Because of the devolution of tasks and powers from the national political level to subnational levels, subnational governments such as municipalities and provinces are increasingly compelled to express their interests in the national and European arenas. However, to achieve substantial weight, authority, receptiveness, and success in both arenas, active cooperation with other subnational authorities is needed. The question is to what extent subna…
Dutch public affairs professionals in the national and European arena: A smart mix of skills, attitude, and knowledge competences
Although the profession of public affairs (PA) is increasingly important for organizations, relatively little is known about the range of competences PA professionals need. This article presents a qualitative study among 41 experienced Dutch PA professionals and practitioners, who were interviewed about the competences needed in regional and local PA. The results show that a combination of skills‐related, attitudinal, and knowledge‐related compet…
The home front: Internal organization of public affairs in Dutch subnational governments
Dutch subnational governments such as municipalities and provinces are increasingly compelled to express their interests in the national and European political arenas. Effectiveness in these arenas requires an optimal arrangement of Public Affairs (PA) activities in the subnational organization. Based on 41 in‐depth interviews with prolific PA professionals and practitioners in the Netherlands, this article provides an overview of initiatives tha…
Regional public affairs activities in The Netherlands: How to gain ground in the national and European arena
The role of regional authorities is undeniably increasing in Europe. Due to increasing regionalism efforts within European Union (EU) member states and to the fact that EU legislation is affecting subnational authorities more and more directly, these authorities are not only striving for influence in the national arena, but in the European arena as well. The primary task of a public affairs (PA) practitioner working for a regional government in t…
Adolescents' experiences and perceived (dis)advantages of the three main outlet types for alcohol purchases
Based on the existing literature, relevant determinants of availability for on-premises locations, off-premises locations, and the Internet were qualitatively explored and categorized by "experts" consisting of underage alcohol purchasers. In total, 14 focus group discussions were conducted with 94 Dutch adolescents. For on-premises locations, the high prices were perceived as the biggest disadvantage, and the ease to circumvent legal age limits …
Generous But Not Morally Obliged? Determinants of Dutch and American Donors’ Repeat Donation Intention (Repdon)
Next to attracting new financial donors, the need to forge first-time donors’ willingness to continue donating is a critical concern for charitable organizations. This study examined the differences in repeat donation intention (REPDON) of Dutch and American donors and the factors influencing such intention. Results showed that REPDON is significantly higher among American than among Dutch respondents. Furthermore, REPDON among Dutch and America …
Above the Message and Beyond Reach: Persuasion Knowledge By A European Teenage Beer Commercial Audience
The article accounts for qualitative knowledge on European adolescents’ (n=326) ad literacy, genre scepticism and persuasion knowledge as expressed in group discussions about televised beer commercials. Data was collected from six European countries: Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and Poland. A general scepticism regarding the commercials’ tactics of persuasion dominated the material as a whole. There were no significant cross-cou…
Effects of Media Ratings on Children and Adolescents: A Litmus Test of the Forbidden Fruit Effect
Media ratings serve to inform parents about and protect minors from violent or otherwise harmful media content. Most of these systems use age pictograms and content warning pictograms for entertainment products. An experiment was conducted to investigate whether these pictograms, contrary to their purpose, have an appealing effect on children and adolescents. Compared to prior studies into this “forbidden fruit effect” concerning DVDs and games, …
Media Rating Systems: Do They Work? Shop Floor Compliance with Age Restrictions in The Netherlands
Media rating systems have been introduced in many countries to protect minors from being exposed to harmful media content. This study examines whether retailers comply with the guidelines of media ratings in the Netherlands. In a mystery shopping study, minors tried to buy or rent media products for which they were too young. An overall success rate of 86% shows that compliance on the shop floor is problematic. In a mystery call study, parents as…
Contested hybridization of regulation: Failure of the Dutch regulatory system to protect minors from harmful media
The hybridization of regulatory modes and instruments is currently a popular way to improve public regulation. However, it is still unclear whether combinations of hard law and soft law, co-regulation, and legally enforced self-regulation really make regulation more effective. Using the analytical framework of the "really responsive regulation" approach, in this article we explore effectiveness problems in a hybrid regulatory system that tries to…
Voters' Perceptions of Voting Technology: Paper Ballots Versus Voting Machine With and Without Paper Audit Trail
Despite their unmistakable advantages, the use of voting machines in elections is a topic of vivid debates. This article focuses on the experiences of voters using three types of voting equipment: (a) a paper ballot, (b) a voting machine, and (c) a voting machine with paper audit trail. An independent-groups experiment was conducted in which voters had to cast a vote for a donation to a charity organization and afterwards filled out a questionnai…
