A changing climate change climate? A meta-analysis of climate change attitudes and polarization in the Netherlands spanning four decades
In the current study, we investigated period trends in climate change attitudes and polarization in these attitudes between 1986 and 2023 in the Netherlands. We expected to observe time trends towards more climate-friendly attitudes in the general public, but simultaneously, increasing polarization on the topic. We estimated trends in climate change attitudes using all accessible, nationally representative, and repeated cross-sectional surveys pe…

Knowledge lost, parity gained? Covid-19 and gender gaps in Dutch academia
We investigated the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacted long-standing gender inequalities in Dutch academia. Dutch academia is an ideal case to gain insight on exacerbated gender differentials due to COVID-19 on employees, because men and women face comparable institutional contexts and any COVID-19 impact becomes visible and measurable fast through potentially decreased yearly publications. We reconstructed the complete publishing car…
Analysis of the possible pathways between social and well-being outcomes
Among this group of participants, we found no quantitative and limited qualitative evidence that improvements in well-being led to improved social outcomes, or vice versa. We consider how methodological limitations (i.e. our sample size and limited number of survey items) may have influenced our results, and contextual and temporal explanations for the lack of evidence of pathways. This finding stands in contrast with the theories of change of ma…
The impact of dyads and extended networks on political talk
Open political dialogue is regarded as foundational to democratic health and our social fabric. Here, we study political dialogue by examining with whom we prefer to talk about politics and why. In so doing, we develop and test hypotheses about what random encounters (e.g., meeting similar versus dissimilar others, meeting friends or colleagues) foster political dialogue, pose and test conjectures about what features of extended networks facilita…
How the educational level of confidants impacts our political attitudes
The role of an individual's educational level in shaping their political attitudes is very well documented. Also, social networks formed by both our strong and weak ties are generally segregated by educational level. Dove-tailing these two observations raised the question of whether the educational level of one's confidants also independently impacts an individual's political attitudes; however, this question has gotten hardly any attention. Ther…
A matter of time? Gender and ethnic inequality in the academic publishing careers of Dutch Ph.D.s
Women and ethnic minorities underpopulate influential academic positions, even though these groups are increasingly represented at the doctorate level. Does this imply that gender and ethnic gaps in academic careers are closing? Prior studies on gender inequality in academia predominantly focus on single academic fields or restricted time periods. Longitudinal descriptions of ethnic inequality are even more rare. Using a novel data set of a nearl…
Twitter and divides in the Dutch parliament
MPs communication on Twitter with other MPs may facilitate forming cross-party solidarity networks and provide public micro deliberation but may also be segregated leading to information bubbles and political polarization. That party-based division lines are running through the online communication networks of politicians is a wellestablished finding in social media studies; however important knowledge gaps have remained on the complexity of Twit…
Size and ethnic homogeneity of extended social networks in the Netherlands
Extended social networks encompass both weak and strong ties to provide social support and resources. Hence, it is important to study what explains variation in these networks. This paper addresses this and examines the size and ethnic homogeneity of extended social networks, and group differences therein, and it aims to explain these differences based on a preference–opportunities approach through a decomposition analysis. We apply state‐of‐the‐…
The unstable social networks of students
Social relations between demographically dissimilar people are less likely to last. But up till now, why relations with dissimilar friends, confidants, or even sport partners are less stable has remained unclear. We argue that the faster dissolution of ties to dissimilar others may stem from their weaker embeddedness in our social networks. We may feel less emotionally close to those who differ from us in key social dimensions such as gender, age…

The Well-Being of Undocumented Migrants in The Netherlands
In this contribution we will shed light on how individual and social post-migration factors affect the well-being of undocumented migrants. Using retrospective interviews, this study involves undocumented migrants who live in the Netherlands and have received psychosocial support. The stories of these undocumented migrants demonstrate that individual and social post-migration factors (such as health and social contacts) are closely entangled. The…
The social outcomes of psychosocial support
Policymakers, practitioners and academics expect mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) interventions to have social outcomes. Surprisingly, the existing academic literature on the effectiveness of MHPSS has focused almost exclusively on clinical outcomes. The evidence base of MHPSS interventions is in that way limited. To feed the research agenda on MHPSS (i.e., MHPSS-SET2), this scoping review analyses the presence and understanding of …
Kudos make you run! How runners influence each other on the online social network Strava
Strava is the largest online social network for athletes. We used Strava’s big data to investigate how runners in the same virtual Strava club influenced each other’s running behavior. We hypothesized that receiving kudos on recorded activities would spur exercise rates, and that the running behavior of clubmates to whom ego gave kudos would serve as a motivational example. We focused on five different Strava clubs that functioned as a virtual ex…
Variation in the educational consequences of parental death and divorce
Ample research demonstrates that experiencing parental death or divorce harms childrenâ s educational attainment. Less is known about variation herein, both between parental death and divorce and across social contexts. We investigated how family and nation
Running Together
We examined how recreational runners benefit from running with others to maintain a consistent training regimen over time. We used data from the ABS project ("Always Keep Active"). Our sample consisted of more than 800 individuals who had registered to participate in the 2019 edition of the 7K or 15K Seven Hills Run (Nijmegen, The Netherlands) for the first time. Taking advantage of this three-wave, individual-level panel data, we found that incr…

Trust and contact in diverse neighbourhoods
Ethnically diverse neighbourhoods are generally less cohesive. A negative relationship between neighbourhood diversity and social cohesion is, however, neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition to conclude that neighbourhood diversity erodes intra-neighbourhood cohesion. This contribution shows - by using data collected during the second wave of the NEtherlands Longitudinal Lifecourse Study (NELLS) - that: (1) members of ethnic minority grou…
Perceptions as the crucial link? The mediating role of neighborhood perceptions in the relationship between the neighborhood context and neighborhood cohesion
This study examines the effects of neighborhood racial in-group size, economic deprivation and the prevalence of crime on neighborhood cohesion among U.S. whites. We explore to what extent residents' perceptions of their neighborhood mediate these macro-micro relationships. We use a recent individual-level data set, the American Social Fabric Study (2012/2013), enriched with contextual-level data from the U.S. Census Bureau (2010) and employ mult…

The Impact of Adolescents' Classroom and Neighborhood Ethnic Diversity on Same‐ and Cross‐Ethnic Friendships Within Classrooms
This study examines how classroom and neighborhood ethnic diversity affect adolescents' tendency to form same‐ versus cross‐ethnic friendships when they enter middle school. Hypotheses are derived from exposure, conflict, and constrict theory. Hypotheses are tested among 911 middle school students (43 classrooms, nine schools) in the Netherlands. Multilevel ( p 2 ) social network analyses show that students were more likely to engage in same‐ethn…
How, when and where can Spatial Segregation Induce Opinion Polarization? Two Competing Models
Increasing ethnic diversity fosters scholarly interest in how the spatial segregation of groups a ects opinion polarization in a society. Despite much empirical and theoretical research, there is little consensus in the literature on the causal link between the spatial segregation of two groups and the emergence of opinion polarization. We contribute to the debate by investigating theoretically the conditions under which the former fosters or hin…
Neighbourhood Ethnic Composition and Voting for the Radical Right in The Netherlands. The Role of Perceived Neighbourhood Threat and Interethnic Neighbourhood Contact
Support for radical right parties has grown rapidly in many Western countries over the past few decades. In recent years, many studies have addressed the relationship between the presence of ethnic minorities in people's living environment and their support for a radical right party, but consensus is hard to find as to how ethnic minority density is related to support for the radical right, let alone why. In this contribution, we demonstrate that…
Ethnic Diversity and Its Effects on Social Cohesion
Recent years have seen a sharp increase in empirical studies on the constrict claim: the hypothesized detrimental effect of ethnic diversity on most if not all aspects of social cohesion. Studies have scrutinized effects of different measures of ethnic heterogeneity in different geographical areas on different forms of social cohesion. The result has been a cacophony of empirical findings. We explicate mechanisms likely to underlie the negative r…

Anti-Muslim Attitudes in The Netherlands
In this study, we set out to explain anti-Muslim attitudes in the Netherlands. Although the presence and immigration of Muslims have become widely discussed, there is little systematic evidence about the determinants underlying anti-Muslim attitudes. Using data from the Social and Cultural Developments in the Netherlands (SOCON) survey (2005, 2006), containing a more detailed measurement of anti-Muslim attitudes, we tested two contradictory mecha…
Ethnic Competition and Opposition to Ethnic Intermarriage in the Netherlands
This study investigates the relationship between characteristics of the living environment and antagonistic attitudes towards ethnic out-groups, with a focus on the explanation of opposition to ethnic intermarriage. Previous studies on the relationship between the living environment and prejudice-related attitudes used at most a limited set of contextual characteristics. We investigate to what extent relative group sizes, economic competition, cu…
Does intergenerational social mobility affect antagonistic attitudes towards ethnic minorities
Up till now, no study satisfactorily addressed the effect of social mobility on antagonistic attitudes toward ethnic minorities. In this contribution, we investigate the effect of educational and class intergenerational mobility on ethnic stereotypes, ethnic threat, and opposition to ethnic intermarriage by using diagonal mobility models. We test several hypotheses derived from ethnic competition theory and socialization theory with data from the…
Education and Cultural Integration among Ethnic Minorities and Natives in The Netherlands
This contribution sets out to identify the main determinants of two attitudinal indicators of cultural integration that figure in the construction of acculturation strategies: opposition toward ethnically mixed relationships and identification with the origin country. We derive our expectations from Social Identity Theory on the direct and indirect effects of education. To test our hypotheses we use data from the Survey on the Integration of Mino…
Losing Wallets, Retaining Trust? The Relationship Between Ethnic Heterogeneity and Trusting Coethnic and Non-coethnic Neighbours and Non-neighbours to Return a Lost Wallet
The constrict claim that ethnic heterogeneity drives down social trust has been empirically tested across the globe. Meta-analyses suggest that neighbourhood ethnic heterogeneity generally undermines ties within the neighbourhood (such as trust in neighbours), but concurrently has an inconsistent or even positive effect on interethnic ties (such as outgroup trust). While the composition of the living environment thus often seems to matter, when a…
Explaining Participation Differentials in Dutch Higher Education
In this article we examine whether subjective estimates of success probabilities explain the effect of social origin, sex, and ethnicity on students' choices between different school tracks in Dutch higher education. The educational options analysed differ in level (i.e. university versus professional college) and fields of study (i.e. science versus non-science). First we analyse students' self-assessed success probabilities for specific tracks …
Trends in Ethnic Educational Inequalities in the Netherlands
This study examines ethnic educational inequality in the Netherlands, focusing on changes over cohorts in highest educational level and school transitions for the four largest ethnic groups compared with Dutch natives. The maximum maintained inequality (MMI) and the effectively maintained inequality (EMI) propositions are used to predict ethnic educational differentials, using data from the Dutch immigrant surveys. We show that ethnic educational…

The Effects of Parental Reading Socialization and Early School Involvement on Children's Academic Performance
This study examines the extent to which parental reading socialization and early school involvement account for performance differences between low-status and high-status children in successive primary school grades. It investigates not only the direct effects of these parental practices on children’s academic performance, but also the indirect effects, that is, controlling for the children’s prior performance. It furthermore examines the influen…

Social origin and occupational success at labour market entry in The Netherlands, 1931-80
In this article we study some of the overlooked mechanisms of how social origin affects an individual's occupational success at labour market entry. The empirical analysis draws on four Dutch retrospective life-course surveys. The analytical sample consists of 6,416 respondents born in the period 1931-80. The results show intergenerational transmission of occupational status, but the effect of father's occupation on his child's first job has decl…

Educational expansion and field of study
In this paper we study to what extent parental field of study affects a person’s educational level and field of study. We employ information on 8800 respondents from the Family Survey Dutch Population (1992–2009). Our results first of all show that, over the last five decades, economic fields of study have become more fashionable among men. In sharp contrast, mainly tracks in agriculture have lost most of their appeal. Among women, medical, econo…

Explaining Natives' Interethnic Friendship and Contact with Colleagues in European Regions
In this study we focus on underlying determinants of interethnic contact of natives within a large number of European regions. We use the ‘opportunity-preference-third parties’ framework to explain differences between social groups and distinguish interethnic contact with colleagues from interethnic friendship. Using the first wave of the European Social Survey (2002/2003), we found clear differences between social groups in terms of how likely t…
