Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Det råder på sina håll en oro och ett mörker i debatten och föreställningarna om samhällets tillstånd. Bilder målas av en värld av kollapsande system och spruckna fasader, där de folkvalda fattar beslut som utarmar människors trygghet och livsvillkor. Det talas om det förljugna etablissemanget, om politisk korrekthet som ödelägger och förstör. Andra ser hur antidemokratiska krafter, likt början av förra seklet, växer sig större och tar allt mer plats på gator och torg. Somliga beskriver en demokrati i kris, om obönhörligt växande sprickbildningar i samhällsbygget. Och i spåren av dessa skeenden berättas hur otrygghetens och rädslans landskap breder ut sig. Världen som vi en gång kände den tycks långsamt glida ur våra händer. Den välputsade fasaden spricker. Samtidigt finns indikationer på att beskrivningen av samhällets förestående krackelering har chimäriska drag, en illusion framvuxen i en tid då det som tidigare varit etablerade normer och ideal på olika sätt utmanas och ifrågasätts. Kanhända är det så att samhällets palett skiftar i långt fler nyanser än mörkaste grått? Kanhända spirar det mitt ibland oss en värld fylld av möjligheter och förutsättningar för människor att leva, bo och utvecklas – tillsammans och sida vid sida? För i konstrast till bilden av samhällets rämnande grundvalar, kan skymtas skriftningar i den gemensamma värdegrunden i riktning mot ökad tolerans, öppenhet och jämlikhet. Kanske är dessa skiftningar tecken på att det förekommer en hel del sprickor också i föreställningen om den spruckna fasaden? Sprickor i fasaden är den sjuttioandra forskarantologin från SOM-institutet vid Göteborgs universitet. Titeln refererar till den sprickbildning i samhällsbygget som på olika håll har lyfts fram i den allmänna debatten. En del av de frågor som analyseras i boken påvisar också tydliga sprickor och polariseringstendenser – inte sällan i frågor som sträcker sig bortom den klassiska vänsterhögerdimensionen. Det är inte längre bara frågor som rör skatter, välfärdsstatens finansiering eller förhållandet mellan offentligt och privat som står för den största sprickbildningen. I många fall handlar det också om sociala och kulturella frågor som skapar skiljelinjer i befolkningen.

Convince with facts: Information effects on attitudes to the sickness insurance in Sweden
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Scandinavian Political Studies. - 0080-6757 .- 1467-9477. ; 47:1, s. 1-22
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Does factual information matter for policy evaluations and attitudes? Previous research has provided different, and partly contradictive, replies to this question. To test the effect of concrete facts on attitudes, we provide findings from a survey web-experiment concerning satisfaction with the universal sickness insurance. The treatments in the experiment are short facts from official reports on how the insurance actually work and is used. Our dependent variables are general satisfaction with how the insurance works, as well as trust for the responsible agency administering the insurance and more specified perceptions on capacity, precision, and fairness of the insurance. The results show that under certain circumstances, policy-specific information does have an effect – even though the effects are not consistent. Effects of the information were mainly found on general evaluations of the sickness insurance rather than on specific attitudes. Furthermore, we conclude that, contrary to expectations, the effects were not conditional on left–right position, subjective knowledge, political interest, or proximity.

The welfare reality check: how policy-specific information influences public responsiveness

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- © 2020 The Author(s). Published by Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. Democratic responsiveness implies that politicians are expected to be responsive to public demands and needs but also that the public is expected to respond to actual policies and reforms by adjusting their demands. What is often over-looked is that policy-specific knowledge is imperative for public policy responsiveness to send correct signals. By using survey experiments, we tested the effects of policy-specific information on policy preferences for privatization of welfare services in Sweden. In line with the thermostatic model, we expected information on the increase of privatization to show negative correlations with demand for more privatization. The experiments showed that policy preferences changed in most policy areas when policy-specific facts were provided. The negative effects of information about privatization were most pronounced among centre-left respondents, increasing the left-right polarization. The results suggest that policy-specific knowledge can serve as a useful mechanism in order to meet the identified theoretical need to strengthen the causal relationship in theories of public responsiveness. The study adds important knowledge to how we understand public responsiveness, and highlight the need of “reality checks” when analysing policy demands.

Class and ideological orientations revisited: an exploration of class-based mechanisms
- 2013

Ingår i: British Journal of Sociology. - 0007-1315 .- 1468-4446. ; 64:4, s. 691-716

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Studies of the relationship between class position and political outlooks still only have a limited understanding of the class-related mechanisms that matter for ideological orientations. This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms that link class position and left/right and authoritarian/libertarian orientations. Besides main factors such as income, career prospects, job security, education, class origin and class identification, the significance of work-related factors such as work autonomy, working in a team, a physically demanding job and a mentally demanding job is studied. The findings are based on a survey specifically designed for this purpose and collected in Sweden in 2008/2009. A great deal of the association between class position and left/right orientations is explained by socio-economic conditions; different classes sympathize with policies that will benefit them economically. Another important factor is class identification. Work-related factors also have relevance, but the effect of class position on left/right orientations works mainly through the remuneration system. Class position is also related to authoritarian/libertarian orientations. However, this relationship is less explained by socio-economic position per se, but is rather an effect of the educational system and its allocation of the workforce into different class positions. It also turns out that work-related factors do not explain the class effects; however, a physically demanding job shows a unique effect. Overall, our findings suggest that besides factors such as class position, income, education and class identification, we need to consider work-related aspects to derive a more complete understanding of the distribution of ideological orientations in Western societies.

Finding the Tie-Breakers: The formation of Consideration Set and Final Party Choice
- 2015
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Consideration set models of party choice (CSM) present an intriguing remedy to the many challenges of analyzing a highly individualized voting behavior in multi-party systems. The point of origin is that voters search for and utilize different kinds of political cues and information depending on the size and content of their consideration sets. A CSM approach allows us to isolate the impact of various factors at various stages in the decision process, i.e. the consideration set formation process and the final party choice. This paper introduces and discusses the main concepts of the CSM approach, identifies the fundamental challenges in measurement and estimation, and provides an empirical example using a specially designed seven-wave campaign panel covering the Swedish national election 2014.

The politics of credit claiming: Rights and recognition in health policy feedback
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Social Policy & Administration. - : Wiley. - 0144-5596. ; 52:4, s. 880-894
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Why do governments recognize rights? In this article, we rely on natural experiments and an innovative matching technique to identify a new causal mechanism of policy feedback, which we refer to as the recognition effect. We rely on the hard case of health care to demonstrate that attitudes towards the health system change in response to government policy change and, indeed, even to rights-based initiatives. During the time when public opinion surveys on public satisfaction with the health system were in the field, governments in both Germany and Sweden introduced a new right: the right to a maximum waiting time for health services. This serendipity allowed us to compare respondents' attitudes both before (control) and after the implementation of the waiting time guarantee (treatment), using coarsened exact matching to account for the imbalances in the treatment and control groups. We find that respondents interviewed after implementation of the new waiting time guarantees (in contrast to those interviewed before the introduction of the guarantees) express higher levels of satisfaction with the health system in general, but do not evaluate their specific medical treatment (including waiting times) more positively. We interpret this finding as evidence that citizens respond to governmental recognition of their rights as a good per se, independent of their personal experience with the particular public service at hand. Thus, we argue that theories of policy feedback need to move beyond their focus on direct material experience with the policies at hand, and to incorporate mechanisms of symbolic action and normative valuations into their causal models.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Green Party – With a Scent of Governmental Power In the 2014 national election the Green party (MP) had hopes to become Sweden’s third largest party. Instead it lost voter support from 7.3 to 6.9 percent, but still ended up in government. The following analysis of MP in the 2014 elections depart from the party’s background as a new and alternative party based in the new divi- sions that have emerged due to globalization and the post-industrial society. We argue that this characterizes both the party’s inner workings and its electoral base as its ability to act in the parliamentary arena. At the same time, we note that the party voters still mainly associate the party with environmental policy, which link the election results to the saliency of environmental issues on the political agenda. We conclude by noting that the Green Party can be seen as a very modern party well adapted to the multi-level democracy which today characterizes Sweden.

Generational differences in disguise? Alongitudinal study of the liberalising effect of education on socio-cultural attitudes
- 2023
-
Ingår i: West European Politics. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0140-2382 .- 1743-9655. ; 46:3
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The underlying mechanisms of the association between education and socio-cultural liberal attitudes have received much attention from scholars within public opinion. Despite sharp increases in the proportion of highly educated in recent decades, the influence of a generational replacement has been widely overlooked in research. The central hypothesis in this article is that generational differences constitute one explanation for the average strength of the education effect on socio-cultural values. Also, the importance of education for forming attitudes could be weaker in generations that grew up when higher education was widespread and the societal climate was more liberal. Results from the ‘age-period-cohort’ (APC) analysis, using the European Social Survey 2002–2018, confirm that a substantial part of the liberalising education effect is generational in origin and that its strength depends on the generation. They further show that this dependency varies across different European regions. The findings shed new light on the mechanisms and political significance of the education effect.

Sequential vote choice: Applying a consideration set model of heterogeneous decision processes
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Electoral Studies. - : Elsevier BV. - 0261-3794. ; 57, s. 275-283
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article analyzes the relative effects of a classic set of long-term and short-term determinants of party choice by treating voters' decision processes as a two-stage heterogeneous process. Departing from a consideration set model of voting behavior (CSM), we use panel data collected in Sweden in 2014 to analyze which voters considered voting for more than one party. To evaluate the CSM approach we estimate the relative effects of long-term and short-term determinants, for different parts of the electorate and at different stages of the decision process. Results confirm that the choice process for the ‘considering kind’ of voters is influenced by another mix of long-term and short-determinants than stable and party identified voters. Findings suggest that continued analyses of multi-stage decision making may bring new insights into electoral behavior. We argue that the core ideas of CSM – the sequential decision-making process and heterogeneity in the impact of long-term and short-term determinants – are generally applicable for analyses of voting behavior.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- © 2016 Nordic Political Science AssociationFor a long time the question of to what extent party choice in the European Parliament (EP) elections is primarily dependent on voters’ orientations towards the European Union (EU) or just a mere reflection of orientations towards issues and actors in national politics has been debated. By combining insights from individual-level models of party choice in second-order elections with theories of sequential decision making this article investigates if, how and at what stages in the decision process attitudes to European integration matters for party choice. In line with previous work on first and second decision rule criteria in EP elections, this article develops and tests hypotheses about how voters’ orientations work at different stages of the voter decision process. The findings, based on Swedish data from a probability-based three-wave Internet campaign panel, indicate that many voters are in fact considering more than one party to vote for in the beginning of the election campaign. As expected, left-right orientations function as a main decision rule with respect to which parties voters even consider voting for, while proximity on the European integration dimension mainly matters as a second decision rule in the final stage of the decision process. Using a sequential model with consideration and choice stages, the article reveals a much larger complimentary effect of EU proximity on party choice than has generally been found in previous research. This serves as a distinct contribution to the emerging research field of individual party choice in second-order elections.
