“…Also, given the current political focus on the alleged threats of immigration as well as the increased legitimization of SD in Swedish society (see e.g., Rydgren & van der Meiden 2018;Strömbäck 2018), SD has likely mobilized conservative and authoritarian voters from both Social Democrats and the Conservative Party (cf. Dunn 2015). We thus hypothesize that:…”

Radical right‐wing voters from right and left: Comparing Sweden Democrat voters who previously voted for the Conservative Party or the Social Democratic Party

As in many other European countries, the political system has undergone rapid changes in Sweden while a radical right-wing party -The Sweden Democrats (SD) -has grown from a negligible position into one of the country's largest parties. SD has been winning voters from both the right and the left sides of the political spectrum, and particularly from Sweden's two largest parties, the Conservative Party (Moderaterna, M) and the Social Democratic Party (S). The present study investigated the extent to which SD voters who previously voted for one of these two parties differ from each other, and compared these SD voters with current Conservative Party and Social Democratic voters. The results showed that 1) economic deprivation offers a better explanation for the past mobility from S, than from M, to the SD; 2) no group differences were found between previous M and S voters in attitudes connected to the appeal of an anti-establishment party; and 3) views on the profile issues espoused by the radical right, most importantly opposition to immigration, did not differ between SD voters who come from M and S. However, SD voters -particularly SD voters who had formerly voted for the Social Democratic party -differed from the voters of their previous parties in several aspects. It is thus possible that many SD voters will not return to the parties they previously voted for, at least as long as the immigration issue continues to be of high salience in the society.

“…These two constructs have been found to be strongly related to each other (Dunn, 2013;Green, Sarrasin, Fasel, & Staerklé, 2011;Wagner, Becker, Christ, Pettigrew, & Schmidt, 2012), as well as to a wider range of important constructs such as prejudice, ethnic exclusionism, xenophobia, authoritarianism and political attitudes (Coenders & Scheepers, 2003;Kalmijn & Kraaykamp, 2007;Kuppens & Spears, 2014;Ostapczuk, 2009;Stubager, 2008;Weil, 1985). Despite their close relationship, ingroup and outgroup attitudes are often distinguished in the social sciences, and have been found to be associated with different antecedents and consequences (e.g.…”

Social Indicators ResearchThe education effect: Higher educational qualifications are robustly associated with personal and socio-political outcomes Level of education is a predictor of a range of important outcomes, such as political interest and cynicism, social trust, health, well-being, and intergroup attitudes. We address a gap in the literature by analyzing the strength and stability of the education effect associated with this diverse range of outcomes across three surveys covering the period 1986-2011, including novel latent growth analyses of the stability of the education effect within the same individuals over time. Our analyses of the British Social Attitudes Survey, British Household Panel Survey, and International Social Survey Programme indicated that the education effect was robust across these outcomes and relatively stable over time, with higher education levels being associated with higher trust and political interest, better health and well-being, and with less political cynicism and less negative intergroup attitudes. The education effect was strongest when associated with political outcomes and attitudes towards immigrants, whereas it was weakest when associated with health and well-being. Most of the education effect appears to be due to the beneficial consequences of having a university education. Our results demonstrate that this beneficial education effect is also manifested in withi...

“…Still, it is not clear that PRRP successes at the ballot box lead to significant changes in policy (e.g., Mudde ). Further, Dunn (forthcoming) finds that authoritarian participation is not uniformly beneficial to PRRPs; in certain countries, authoritarians are more likely to support traditional party families. Future research would do well to further examine the relationship between authoritarianism, diversity‐based threat and political choices (e.g., which party one votes for or which social movements one joins), rather than political participation, on which we focus here.…”

We argue that threatening stimuli affect political participation levels among non-authoritarians more than among authoritarians. We focus on socioethnic diversity, which is known to be particularly threatening to authoritarians and to relate negatively to political participation in the general public. Analyses of individual-and macro-level data from 53 countries support our thesis. Participation levels among authoritarians are largely static, regardless of a country's level of socioethnic heterogeneity, while non-authoritarians participate considerably less in countries with relatively high levels of socioethnic heterogeneity. This suggests that authoritarians participate to a proportionately greater degree in the most diverse countries.
