Community perception on a temporary plant nursery installation

Our study advances these debates by critically presenting the role of an innovative …
Populism among European youth
Populist ideology has attracted growing attention in political psychology, particularly concerning its cognitive antecedents. This study examines the relationship between Need for Closure (NFC) and the endorsement of populist ideology among young Europeans, focusing on Italian and Romanian participants. We propose a mediated model in which NFC predicts populist attitudes through Social Cynicism (SC) and Reward for Application (RA), with further m…
Public Transport Accessibility Level and Public Perceptions
This study investigates the influence of public transport on the quality of urban life through a combined approach that includes both an objective and a subjective assessment. The objective quality of the public transport network in Timișoara was measured using the Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) index, whose values were recalibrated to better fit the context of an Eastern European post-communist city, while citizens’ perceptions were…
What facilitates the socio-economic adaptation of migrant women? Insights from Romanian women settled in Western Europe

Basing our empirical analysis on data gathered through online surveys targeting Romanian women migrants (N = 775) who have settled in Western European countries, we seek to discover what …
New Integrative Model of the Quality of Urban Life
The study of quality of life has shifted from measuring objective living conditions to debates on human development, ultimately adopting an approach based on subjective indicators. On this premise, we aim to develop a comprehensive urban quality of life model comprising indicators specific to each of the theoretical dimensions proposed by MacLean and Salama (2019) – physical, social, economic, and welfare. The model is designed across three diffe…
Mapping societal resilience across eight European nations in the context of multifaceted associations with global indices

The aftermath of Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine has resulted in over 5 million internally displaced Ukrainians and more than 8 million refugees settling across Europe. The success of their integration relies on the hospitality and attitudes of citizens of host nations. This study investigates factors influencing attitudes towa…

Clientelism and Political Recruitment in Democratic Transition
Legislative recruitment patterns can serve as an important source of information on clientelistic practices of political parties. These practices are often a product of parties' deliberate strategies to foster clientelistic type of linkages between politicians and society. The difficulties of conceptualizing and measuring these practices, which frequently have a highly informal character, impede comparative work on the subject. Current studies of…
