Mapping the meanings of welfare deservingness: A correlational class analysis of citizens’ perceptions
Despite much research on citizens’ welfare deservingness considerations, the literature typically overlooks the diverse meanings individuals attribute to their stances on the issue. The same welfare deservingness stance might mean something fundamentally different across individuals, ranging from perceiving it as, for example, an issue of economic redistribution to an issue of cultural values. This diversity in meanings has significant implicatio…

Shifting the Blame or Defending Implementation: How Do Explanations for Compliance Shape the Legitimacy of Contested EU Policies
As European Union (EU) policymaking becomes increasingly politicized, national and local authorities face pressure to justify compliance with contested EU rules. This study examines how different explanations for compliance affect citizens' perceptions of legitimacy. We distinguish between blame‐shifting and defending strategies communicated by national and municipal authorities. Our expectations and findings challenge the popular view that blami…
What do stances on immigrants' welfare entitlement mean? Evidence from a correlational class analysis
Recent in-depth qualitative research indicates that different people ascribe different meanings to their apparently similar stances on immigrants' entitlement to welfare. We are the first to investigate such variation quantitatively among the public-at-large, applying the novel method Correlational Class Analysis to an original survey fielded among a representative sample in the Netherlands (n = 2138). We uncover five ways of looking at immigrant…
Does informing citizens about the non-meritocratic nature of inequality bolster support for a universal basic income? Evidence from a population-based survey experiment
Despite citizens' precarization and policymakers' enthusiasm for a universal basic income (UBI), this alternative to targeted welfare has, curiously, received limited popular support. We theorize that this is due to people overestimating society's meritocratic nature. Accordingly, we field a randomized survey experiment with a representative sample of the Dutch population (n = 1,630) to investigate the impact of information provision about the no…
Different understandings of welfare benefits among the Dutch public: A focus group study
Numerous studies have assessed the extent to which citizens support or oppose welfare benefits (shorthand: benefits). To properly understand this support or opposition, it is important to consider what benefits actually mean to citizens. Indeed, because citizens' understandings of benefits are likely to vary, there may be similar (different) levels of support for very different (similar) reasons. Consequently, in‐depth insights into these underst…
