Goodbye human annotators? Content analysis of social policy debates using ChatGPT
Content analysis is a valuable tool for analysing policy discourse, but annotation by humans is costly and time consuming. ChatGPT is a potentially valuable tool to partially automate content analysis for policy debates, largely replacing human annotators. We evaluate ChatGPT's ability to classify documents using pre-defined argument descriptions, comparing its performance with human annotators for two policy debates: the Universal Basic Income d…
Intentional water and tired wood: Exploring causes for primary teachers’ reference to intuitive construals in science education
Research reveals that teachers regularly refer to intuitive construals (IC) in formal science education. Only a few studies, however, have investigated why teachers refer to them. Alarmingly, these studies suggest didactic consideration is not the main reason for this. Instead, teachers introduce IC unintentionally or due to a lack of expertise. A possible explanation for an unconsidered reference to IC – a part of lack of expertise – is that tea…
The end of welfare states as we know them? A multidimensional perspective
This article highlights the limitations of unidimensional analyses in the comparative welfare state literature and emphasises the need for a more holistic, multidimensional approach incorporating social spending, welfare state outputs and outcomes. To illustrate the utility of a multidimensional approach, we examine the long‐term welfare state trajectories of Sweden and Germany, prototypical social‐democratic and conservative welfare states, resp…
Deservingness and Welfare Attitudes Through Young Eyes: The Future of the Swiss Welfare State
This article demonstrates the value of including youth in deservingness and welfare attitude research by investigating Swiss adolescents' deservingness opinions and welfare attitudes (N = 1601, mean age = 14.6). Through a survey experiment focusing on different unemployed groups and unemployment‐related policies, the study revisits prominent research results like the immigrant deservingness gap from a novel perspective, generating insights releva…
Mind the gap: Young people and welfare-state related knowledge in deservingness and welfare attitude research
Welfare deservingness opinions help explain welfare attitudes and hence are crucial for understanding the social legitimacy of the welfare state. However, even when considering deservingness alongside other explanatory frameworks, many open questions remain in the welfare attitude framework. This article argues that a novel research agenda focusing on welfare-state related knowledge and young people could considerably enrich current debates in de…
Mythen der vergleichenden Sozialpolitikforschung? Permanente Austerität und wohlfahrtsstaatliches Retrenchment
Globalisierung und Neoliberalismus werden häufig als Gründe für wohlfahrtsstaatlichen Wandel identifiziert. Wir analysieren wohlfahrtsstaatliche Entwicklungen in OECD-Ländern seit 1980 mittels einer deskriptiv-quantitativen Analyse von Generosität sowie Sozialstaatsausgaben und qualitativ anhand von vier crucial cases (Deutschland, Italien, Schweden und USA). Grosso modo diagnostizieren wir eine stabile Entwicklung, die als “ growth to limits “ v…
