Morgen is het eindelijk zo ver! Dan verdedig ik mijn proefschrift "Popular Understandings of the European Union" aan de Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam. Hier een klein voorproefje van waar ik mij de afgelopen jaren mee bezig heb gehouden 👉 www.eur.nl/nieuws/zware...
De Europese Parlementsverkiezingen komen eraan, maar wat betekent de EU eigenlijk voor mensen? Dat onderzocht Elske van den Hoogen in haar proefschrift.
Vanochtend was ik te gast bij Nieuwsweekend van NPO Radio 1 om te praten over de verschillende perspectieven van Nederlanders op de Europese Unie die voortkomen uit mijn promotieonderzoek. Het was een fijn en interessant gesprek! Luister het hier terug 👉 www.nporadio1.nl/fragmenten/n...

Explorative analyses suggested that being confronted with a message in a Eurosceptic newspaper instead of a non-Eurosceptic one negatively impacted EU attitudes, regardless of the content of the message. 7/7
These null findings are insightful in themselves, but our study also includes other important findings… 👉 Interestingly, a Eurosceptic connotation of a medium seems to increase negativity about the EU. 6/7
Our pre-registered hypotheses were not confirmed. Besides null findings for the direct effects, the analyses also did not show significant interactions with populist attitudes or the Eurosceptic character of the medium. 5/7
Informed by recent in-depth qualitative research, we also analysed whether this effect is stronger among citizens with more populist attitudes. Additionally, we tested if exposure through a Eurosceptic newspaper either aggravates or abates the extent to which the message leads to Euroscepticism. 4/7
Using a pre-registered original survey experiment conducted among members of a nationally-representative high-quality Dutch panel, we studied whether exposure to proposed abolishment of EU member states’ right of veto leads to more negative EU attitudes. 3/7
Previous studies and European referendum outcomes indicate that citizens are often wary of EU proposals diminishing national sovereignty. But do such proposals also increase negativity about the EU? 2/7 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
