The limited influence of climate norms on leisure air travel
This paper adds to our understanding of how people’s climate change concern and norms influence their leisure air travel. It does so by examining the roles of Norwegians’ beliefs about climate change and emissions from air travel, their felt responsibility to limit emissions (personal norm), and expectations and behaviors of friends and family (social norms) in such travel. A representative sample of Norwegians was surveyed in 2019 and 2020 (N = …

Rapportering og formidling av risiko
I rapportering av forskningsresultater om hva som påvirker faren for negative hendelser, som å bli rammet av alvorlig sykdom, er det vanlig å bruke mål for relativ økning i risiko. De gir langt større tallverdier enn de tilsvarende tallene for absolutte forskjeller i risiko når det dreier seg om fenomener med lave forekomster. Bruken av relative mål er trolig enda mer dominerende i medienes formidling av slike forskningsresultater. Spørsmålet er …
Ja-siing som problem i intervjuundersøkelser
En mye brukt spørsmålsform i intervjuundersøkelser er påstander som respondenten skal si seg enig eller uenig i. Det er imidlertid et problem, kalt ja-siing, knyttet til denne spørsmålstypen som mange ikke synes å være klar over. I den senere tid har faren for ja-siing skapt debatt om hva resultatene av meningsmålinger egentlig forteller om opinionen. Et eksempel er en undersøkelse av folks oppfatninger om forskning, der negativt formulerte påsta…
Fagdebatt på internett
Et grunnprinsipp som studenter innprentes når de tar kurs i samfunnsvitenskapelig metode, er at en som forsker må anstrenge seg for å avkrefte egne forhåndsoppfatninger. Dette for å motvirke den allmennmenneskelige tendensen til å feste seg ved det som passer med det en selv tror. Prinsippet er ikke alltid lett å leve opp til, og resultatet kan bli uholdbare konklusjoner. I neste omgang er det derfor viktig at andre forskere bidrar med korreksjon…
Utviklingen i synet på innvandrere og innvandringi Norge
Artikkelen bruker tidsseriedata fra Norsk Monitor til å undersøke utviklingen i ulike aspekter ved nordmenns holdninger til innvandrere og innvandring i perioden 1993–2015. Tendensen er en økende overvekt av positive over negative oppfatninger når det gjelder innvandreres kulturelle og økonomiske rolle, villigheten til å hjelpe flyktninger og synet på begrensning av innvandringen. Holdningen til muslimske trossamfunn, der overvekten er negativ, h…

Margin Insensitivity' and the Analysis of Educational Inequality
A problem in educational attainment research is that measures of association, and not measures of inequality, have been used to observe inequality in the distribution of higher education between classes. While the statistical association between class and education in many countries has been relatively stable, measures of inequality applied to the same data show a marked reduction of inequality in the distribution of higher education over time. T…

Election Day Polling by Means of a Telephone Panel
The purpose of this research note is to outline an approach to Election Day polling, which has qualities that may make it an attractive alternative to the exit poll under certain circumstances. An Election Day poll is here understood as a poll where the respondents are asked about their vote in the election on Election Day, and a prognosis of the outcome is presented before the actual result of the election is known. This means that interviewing,…

Debate on Inequality
Class Inequality and Egalitarian Reform
Major studies of recruitment to higher education find the association with class to be stable over time, and on this basis conclude that egalitarian reforms have been ineffective. In contrast, measures of inequality for the same data show the distribution of attractive positions to have evened out considerably. The difference in results is explained by how the two sets of measures are affected by changes in the marginals of the class-education ta…
Postmaterialism as a Dimension of Cultural Change
The results of a broad, inductive study of cultural orientation in Norway are used to throw light on issues in the debate on dimensions of cultural change. Inglehart's index of materialism-postmaterialism is shown to constitute one diagonal in a two-dimensional cultural space with axes resembling those discussed by Flanagan. It is argued that they both fail to appreciate the importance of cultural differences along the other diagonal, opposing he…
Opinion Leadership and Political Extremism
An analysis of a survey material with 14,000 respondents from Norway 1984—5 shows a U-shaped relationship between position on a political left-right scale and activity to influence others through personal communication, with the exception of a sharp drop at the extreme left. Various hypotheses attempting to explain this pattern of a left dip are tested and refuted: 1) it does not seem to be the result of sampling or measurement error, 2) it is on…
Introduction to Causal Analysis
Do Norwegian Voters Discriminate Against Women Candidates for Parliament? A Rejoinder
In his article Foverskov claims that the sex of a candidate influences his/her chances of being elected to the Norwegian Parliament, independent of position held on the party list. This conclusion is due, however, to the lack of validity of his measure for list position. The lower election rate for female candidates can be shown to result from less favourable positions on the lists. Sex in other words affects election success only indirectly thro…
