Justifying European border policies
Under the Schengen Agreement, member states agreed to abolish internal border controls to ensure free movement. While the reintroduction of internal border controls is foreseen only in exceptional circumstances, states increasingly invoke their right to unilaterally reintroduce border controls. This is at odds with a core principle of the EU: free movement. In this paper, we examine different strategies that public officials use to justify the in…
Benchmarking pandemic response
Does the EU’s performance compared to neighboring countries influence public support? Using a benchmarking approach, we argue that people compare their country’s performance within the EU to that of a non-EU country, shaping their attitudes. The COVID-19 vaccine rollout in 2020 provides an ideal test case, as governments launched vaccination programs at different speeds. The UK began weeks before EU countries, allowing us to examine its impact on…
Closed borders, closed minds? Covid‐related border closures, EU support and hostility towards immigrants
Do border closures affect political attitudes? While a large body of research has discussed the effects of the COVID‐19 pandemic on nationalism and outgroup hostility, much less is known about how one of the main policy responses to stop the virus, closing the national borders, has impacted political attitudes. We argue that the sudden and unprecedented closures of national borders in the COVID‐19 crisis decreased EU support and increased hostili…
Thinking Through Historical Analogies
Historical analogies (HAs) are cultural tools for making sense of a current situation by drawing comparisons to a past event. Their use in communication and understanding can be observed since ancient times and in societies around the world, especially in times of crisis. The present paper explores the role they played in people’s everyday thinking during the COVID-19 pandemic, including what HAs were used, how they changed over time, who used th…
Trajectories of Experience Through the Pandemic
Here, we present a dataset collected within a longitudinal interview study that has been conducted as part of a larger project (i.e., Viral Communication), exploring (changing) public attitudes and behaviours through the course of the pandemic in Germany. From a nationally representative survey, forty participants were purposively sampled on the basis of gender, age and socioeconomic status for the interviews. Each participant was interviewed thr…
What Drives Belief in Vaccination Conspiracy Theories in Germany
In the midst of a pandemic, the efficacy of official measures to mitigate the COVID-19 crisis largely depends on public attitudes towards them, where conspiracy beliefs represent potential threats to the efficacy of measures such as vaccination. Here, we present predictors and outcomes associated with a COVID-19 vaccination conspiracy belief. In a representative survey of Germany, sociodemographic predictors of this belief were found to include a…

Memorials, movement and the method of subjective cameras
The return to experience in psychology involves recognising the limitations of traditional mono-modal approaches based on verbal data, detached from activity and context. This paper describes our use of subcams to explore how people experience and engage with the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin. Participants first walked around the memorial on their own while wearing a subcam and second they commented on their experience while w…
