- Although populist communication has become pervasive throughout Europe, many important questions on its political consequences remain unanswered. First, previous research has neglected the differential effects of populist communication on the Left and Right. Second, internationally comparative studies are missing. Finally, previous research mostly studied attitudinal outcomes, neglecting behavioral effects. To address these key issues, this paper draws on a unique, extensive, and comparative experiment in sixteen European countries (N = 15,412) to test the effects of populist communication on political engagement. The findings show that anti-elitist populism has the strongest mobilizing effects, and anti-immigrant messages have the strongest demobilizing effects. Moreover, national conditions such as the level of unemployment and the electoral success of the populist Left and Right condition the impact of populist communication. These findings provide important insights into the persuasiveness of populist messages spread throughout the European continent.

- Objective: Identifying factors associated with early treatment response is important, because it can help allocate limited resources in psychiatric care more appropriately. This study examined baseline characteristics of participants with early response to exposure-based cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Method: 269 participants with OCD, aged 7-17 years, were enrolled in a 14-weeks CBT program. We identified participants with early response to treatment, (CY-BOCS total score of <= 15), by the seventh session. Results: At week 7, 248 (92.2%) participants were assessed, 38.3% (95% CI 32.4-44.5%, n = 95) were identified as treatment responders. Univariate analyses showed that six baseline characteristics were significantly associated with early treatment response: young age, lower levels of symptom severity, functional impairment, internalizing- and externalizing problems, depressive symptoms, and family accommodation. Conclusions: These results suggested that treatment plans for younger children with moderate OCD symptoms and no major comorbid disorder should include briefer and less resource demanding treatment formats than the commonly recommended and applied standard doses of 15 CBT sessions.
