Conceptualizations of socio-economic status and preferences for redistribution
Information on income concentration and redistribution preferences
In recent decades, income inequality has soared in the United States, but few studies utilize experimental methodologies to assess whether having reliable information on income concentration affects the formation of redistribution attitudes. We advance this emerging literature through an analysis of information on the income owned by the top 1% of the income distribution – a group that is socio-politically meaningful and axial to the recent rise …
The Socio-Structural Basis of the Long-Term Decline in Traditional Left-Right Class Voting in Affluent Democracies, 1964‐2019
How can we explain the long-term decline in the class-based voting cleavage observed in high-income democracies since the 1960s? The causes of this decline are far from being fully understood. We hypothesize that the decline in this cleavage between the working class and other classes is connected to the shrinkage of the working class, increases in economic prosperity, and a reduction in levels of inequality. To test these hypotheses, we use a ne…
Trust and Inequality of Opportunities
There is a vast literature on the effect of inequality on trust, establishing that equality must be a pre-condition for the emergence of trust. However, most empirical research either focuses on case studies or uses measures of income inequality, such as the Gini index. In this article, we argue that a measure of inequality of opportunities is preferable to focusing on inequality of outcomes, as it taps into the psychological foundations of trust…
Actitudes cívicas y dimensiones de la ciudadanía democrática en Europa
La idea de democracia es, probablemente, una de las que más consenso suscita en las sociedades contemporáneas, al tiempo que existen síntomas claros de desafección política. Las interpretaciones de este fenómeno de desafección política son muy diferentes. Mientras para unos la falta general de implicación política es una consecuencia del individualismo y el «privatismo cívico», que amenaza con romper los lazos de la comunidad política, para otros…
Familia y socialización política
La socialización política básica tiene lugar en el seno de la familia. Los estudios clásicos desocialización política han mostrado que los hijos tienden a reproducir las orientaciones ideológicasde sus padres. Los datos para el caso español muestran una gran similitud entre la posiciónpolítica de la generación actual y la anterior. A este respecto, cabe señalar que, a pesar de lastransformaciones experimentadas por la familia española en las últi…
Generación y transformación de las instituciones sociales
En este artículo se analizan las dinámicas de generación y transformación de las instituciones sociales. Se estudiany confrontan dos paradigmas fundamentales. Las teorías utilitaristas o de la elección racional, según lascuales las instituciones son un intento de superación de los fallos del mercado a través de mecanismos institucionalesque conduzcan a situaciones socialmente óptimas, en el sentido de ser preferibles para los actoresindividuales …
Institutional Factors and Agreement in Lawmaking
Contemporary democracies are undergoing a period of rising levels of polarization and fragmentation. At the same time, the degree of conflict in several parliaments, particularly in Europe, has significantly increased. Despite this, we know very little about conflict and consensus-building in parliaments. In this article, we analyze the degree of agreement in lawmaking in Spanish national and regional parliaments from 1977 to 2023. Using models f…
Priming or learning? The influence of pension policy information on individual preferences in Germany, Spain and the United States
A promising approach to pension policy preferences focuses on the influence of policy related information. We advance this research programme by examining the impact of information about future pension benefits, including whether information effects occur through priming, learning or both. Drawing on a novel, split-sample survey experiment in the US, Germany and Spain, we examine the impact of information on forecasted pension replacement rates f…
Gender balance in the workforce and abortion attitudes
This article explores the relationship between gender balance in the workforce and attitudes towards abortion worldwide. Studies on macro-level conditions related to abortion attitudes overlook the role of gender balance in the workforce-specifically the degree of female representation in a country's workforce. There are strong reasons why this factor could shape abortion attitudes. We argue that such a gender balance creates necessary conditions…
Congruence between voters and representatives in preferences for social policies in Spain
In some countries public opinion is consistently highly supportive of redistribution, while policy outcomes do not always produce high levels of redistribution. According to the political congruence literature this might be due to a biased representation of policy preferences, as those of high socio-economic status are expected to be better represented in the political process. To illuminate this conundrum, we analyse congruence in preferences fo…
Societal religiosity and the gender gap in political interest, 1990-2014
This manuscript examines the structural causes of the gender gap in political interest. In many countries, men are more interested in politics than women. Yet, in others, men and women prove equally interested. We explain this cross-national variation by focusing on the effects of societal religiosity. Since religion sustains the traditional gender order, contexts where societal religiosity is low undermine the taken-for-grantedness of this order…
Social mobility and demand for redistribution in Europe
The literature on preferences for redistribution has paid little attention to the effect of social mobility on the demand for redistribution and no systematic test of the hypotheses connecting social mobility and preferences for redistribution has yet been done to date. We use the diagonal reference model to estimate the effect of origin and destination classes on preferences for redistribution in a large sample of European countries using data f…
The Institutional Foundation of Social Class Differences in Pro-redistribution Attitudes
Our understanding of cross-national differences in the relationship between social class location and voting choices has improved substantially in the last decade. Yet scholarship about cross-national and longitudinal variations in the relationship between class location and policy preferences remains neglected. This paper addresses this important gap in the literature through a comparative, longitudinal analysis of the substantial, cross-nationa…
The impact of social expenditure on health inequalities in Europe
Preferences for tax schemes in OECD countries, self-interest and ideology
In this article we analyze preferences for tax schemes, using data on subjective evaluations of the taxes paid by different income groups. We estimate multilevel models to test the effect of socio-economic status and political ideology on individual preferences. We find that both self-interest motivations and political ideology are important factors in explaining preferences for tax schemes. At the national level, it is found that the fiscal burd…
Selecting Candidates in Multilevel Democracies
Candidate Selection in a Multilevel State
The intraparty mechanisms for Members of Parliament (MPs) selection has been only partially analyzed by the literature. Most works focus on parties' written rules regarding the selection of candidates for the national chamber(s). However, party statutes hide other informal procedures. In this article, we analyze how candidate selection is implemented in parties using survey data for a representative sample of 580 MPs, completed with 58 in-depth i…
Welfare state and individual expectations of economic support
This research investigates individual expectations of economic support from different sources: partner, family, friends and formal help. Using data from the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) the study compares Norway, as representative of the Scandinavian model, and Spain, as representative of the Mediterranean model. The findings confirm that family plays a more important role as a source of economic support in Spain while formal help…

The Impact of Social Expenditure on Attitudes Towards Immigration in Europe
Beliefs about Social Fluidity and Preferences for Social Policies
Several studies have shown that attitudes toward social policy are influenced by expectations of social mobility at the individual level and perceptions of social fluidity at the aggregate level. If individuals think of inequalities as the result of inherited disadvantages, they will be more willing to distribute resources from the rich to the poor. However, one important question remains open: How do individuals perceive the distribution of oppo…
Public opinion and the reform of the pension systems in Europe
The demographic changes that have occurred in European countries in recent decades have made the policies of the public pension system one of the most debated issues of the welfare state. In this paper, I focus on preferences for three pension policy reforms with different distributive consequences: raising contributions, raising the age of retirement, and allowing free choice between public and private pension plans. I use multilevel models to a…
Positive or Negative Policy Feedbacks? Explaining Popular Attitudes Towards Pragmatic Pension Policy Reforms
Recent decades have seen increased interest in public attitudes towards public pension policies. Most previous research, however, relies heavily on dependent variables that fail to reflect the effective alternatives being discussed in most affluent democracies. This article seeks to improve our understanding of public attitudes towards pragmatic welfare policy options by examining cross-national differences in attitudes towards (i) cuts in old-ag…
Trayectorias de participación política de la juventud europea
A needs assessment surveying American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIs/ANs) at an AI/AN health center in the Midwestern United States was conducted, with an emphasis on traditional Native healing. Data from this study included qualitative material from interviews of community members (N = 27; age 12-82) and service providers (N = 11; age 26-70). Respondents emphasized the path to wellness includes physical, spiritual and mental health and that tra…

Breaking Democracy
This article endeavours to describe and analyse the media's role in the 11-13 April 2002 attempt to oust Venezuela's president, Hugo Chávez. The short-lived and unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the democratically elected government exposed the politicised and undemocratic nature of Venezuela's private commercial media. At an international news level, the events of April 2002 demonstrated that foreign news coverage tends to reproduce the version …

Percepciones del público ante la ciencia y la tecnología
Las actitudes de los españoles hacia las políticas sociales
Las actitudes hacia el Estado de Bienestar se han mantenido relativamente estables en la mayoría de los países occidentales en las últimas décadas. No obstante, se han producido importantes cambios en la concepción del papel del Estado en la sociedad y en el fundamento de los derechos sociales. En el caso español, conviven unas altas expectativas depositadas en el Estado, como ente benefactor y nivelador de las desigualdades percibidas en la soci…
