Ideology, Policy or Party Affiliation? Voter Behavior in the 2021 Hungarian Primary Elections
This study examines electoral behavior during Hungary’s 2021 opposition primaries. Using a unique election day poll and supplementary survey data, we analyze the socio-demographic and attitudinal profiles of primary voters and compare them to the broader opposition electorate. Findings suggest that in a de-democratizing regime with a dominant party, voter behavior is shaped less by policy preferences and more by sociological attributes such as ag…
Algorithmic Management in Traditional Workplaces: The Case of High vs. Low Involvement Working Practices
Algorithmic management ( am ) has become a key research focus in the sociology of work, especially concerning platform work. However, am tools are also impacting traditional workplaces. This study investigates three main questions: the impact of ai on high vs. low-skilled jobs, its effect on employee’s role, and the formation of collective voices around am , including non-traditional labour relations actors. The context is the Hungarian industria…
Less happiness, more political interactions?—Cross-country evidence of the interrelations between political interactions and self-reported lack of happiness
This paper explores how individual self-reported unhappiness interrelates with political interactions. We focus on three types of activities: participating in political debates, encouraging others to vote, and motivating fellow citizens to act politically. Contrary to theoretical expectations and the empirical claims of previous studies, the results of our multilevel logistic regression analysis on World Values Survey data from 2017 and 2021 show…
Last place aversion, labour market competition or welfare state model? Explaining anti-immigrant sentiment in Hungary with a conjoint experiment
Much ink has been spilled to explain how the relative socio-economic position of natives and immigrants might shape anti-immigrant sentiment. However, little effort has been made to pit three competing theories: last place aversion, labour market competition and the welfare state model directly against each other, despite their often-times contradicting implications. This paper tests these alternative theories in Hungary, where the 2015 migration…
When Ideology Matters More – Science and Vaccine Scepticism in Light of Political Ideologies and Partisanship during the Third Covid-19 Wave in Hungary 1
As for the mitigation of the negative consequences of the coronavirus pandemic and the related crisis, governments should inter alia facilitate the willingness to vaccinate. However, related discussions became politicised, especially in countries with an extremely high level of partisan polarisation in opinions and media discourses, like in Hungary, which is the selected case of our study. As previous research about the United States shows, gener…
Discussing immigration in an illiberal media environment: Hungarian political scientists about the migration crisis in online public discourses
Despite the fact that Hungary was less affected by the 2015 migration crisis in objective terms—i.e. the negligible number of immigrants entering and settling in the country in the last years-, the Hungarian government has been pushing an extreme anti-immigration political communication since 2015, which resulted in an intensive and highly politicised public discourse about immigration. This analysis aims at exploring the involvement of political…
Wearing rose-coloured glasses. The happiness effect of party attachments in Europe
As related research in political psychology shows, election results affect the emotions of individuals, although most studies report about a short-term effect that disappears in one or two weeks. This paper investigates whether election results influence the general mood, the happiness of individuals in the long run. The analysis uses the European Social Survey data from 30 European countries between 2002 and 2015. Regression models suggest that …
