The affective style of politics: Evidence from cross‐country surveys
We know that emotions matter in politics but less is known about the role of individual ways of processing and responding to emotions, that is, affective styles. Here we report on two surveys, exploring the relationship between affective style (i.e., the individual propensity to either tolerate, adjust, or conceal emotions) and social and political trust. We base our study on large‐n representative survey data from Denmark ( N = 1048) and the Uni…
Back to Business? Business‐Owners and Their Responses to Covid‐19 Policies in a Comparative Perspective
While necessary to protect human lives, many of the measures implemented by governments to contain the COVID‐19 pandemic imposed significant costs on the population. Drawing on an original representative survey fielded during the first wave of COVID‐19 in April–June 2020 in Sweden and Denmark, we examine how members of different occupational groups evaluated their government's pandemic strategies. Despite sharing several institutional, cultural, …
Trust in government in Sweden and Denmark during the Covid-19 epidemic
Did the different public-health policies that Sweden and Denmark pursued in the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic result in different levels of public trust in governments’ and health authorities’ ability to guide the two countries safely through the pandemic? How did the level of trust change as the pandemic unfolded? And were there any cross-country differences in the correlates of trust? Using three original representative surveys conducted i…
Personality’s cross-national impact across EU attitude dimensions
Studies increasingly suggest that personal predispositions affect political attitudes, including those towards the European Union (EU). Yet little is known about the extent to which personality effects on EU support generalize across European countries or attitude domains. We use original survey data from five EU member states (Denmark, Germany, Poland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom) to investigate how the Big Five (B5) traits affect four differ…
Predispositions Matter…But How? Ideology as a Mediator of Personality’s Effects on EU Support in Five Countries
Personality’s direct effects on various aspects of political attitudes and behavior have received substantial attention, yet few investigate its indirect effects—even though several studies posit that these may be even more important. We utilize original survey data from five European countries (Denmark, Germany, Poland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom) to provide a comprehensive, cross‐national test of the extent to which personal predispositions…

The effect of affect: How affective style determines attitudes towards the EU
Research shows that affective style (i.e. our individual ways of responding to emotions) matters for social behaviour. This article explores how affective style, as a new key predictor, explains attitudes towards the European Union, encompassing the feeling of internal efficacy towards the EU and trust in the EU. The study relies on survey data from Denmark (2014). The article concludes that the affective styles of tolerating, concealing and adju…
Do Group Decision Rules Affect Trust? A Laboratory Experiment on Group Decision Rules and Trust
Enhanced participation has been prescribed as the way forward for improving democratic decision making while generating positive attributes like trust. Yet we do not know the extent to which rules affect the outcome of decision making. This article investigates how different group decision rules affect group trust by testing three ideal types of decision rules (i.e., a Unilateral rule, a Representative rule and a ‘Non‐rule’) in a laboratory exper…
Personality and Euroscepticism: The Impact of Personality on Attitudes Towards the EU
Attitudes towards EU integration are widely studied, yet we know only little about the role of personality for EU attitudes. Utilizing a framing experiment encompassing positive and negative frames of EU integration, this article reports on how personality influences attitudes towards EU integration, and how personal predispositions moderate framing effects, impacting EU attitude formation. The study relies on Danish and Swedish data (N = 1808). …
