Societal inequality has been found to harm the mental and physical health of its members undermine overall social cohesion. Here, we tested hypothesis that economic is associated with a wish for strong leader in study involving 28 countries from five continents (Study 1, N = 6,112), an Australian community sample 2, 515), two experiments 3a, 96; Study 3b, 296). We correlational (Studies 1 2) experimental 3a 3b) evidence our prediction higher enhances leader. also this relationship mediated...
Economic inequality has been found to have pernicious effects, reducing mental and physical health, decreasing societal cohesion, fueling support for nativist parties illiberal autocratic leaders. We start this review with an outline of what social identity theorizing offers the study inequality. then articulate four hypotheses that can be derived from approach: fit hypothesis, wealth‐categorization wealth‐stereotype sociostructural hypothesis. empirical literature tests these by exploring...
Abstract Increased cultural diversity has led to considerable debate on how best promote intergroup harmony within pluralistic nations. In the current research, we consider nature of interculturalism, a new ideology extensively discussed by political philosophers and policy‐makers in Europe beyond. Interculturalism consists three interrelated components dialogue, unity, identity flexibility. Using data ( N = 2,364) from national surveys two ethnically diverse nations (Netherlands USA ), test...
Empirical research into the relationship between economic well-being and child outcomes has been limited by its cross-sectional nature, or narrow focus on predominantly financial aspects of well-being. This article attempts to overcome these shortcomings using data from Growing Up in Ireland Cohort98 (age: 9-17; N = 5,748; female: 51.4%) Cohort08 studies 3-9 years; 7,208; 49.8%), which cover a period large macroeconomic fluctuation (2007-2017). makes robust fixed effects analysis feasible,...
Scholarship has highlighted the potentially equalising effects of early childhood education and care (ECEC), which may be particularly relevant for children living in immigrant households. However, it is crucial to consider are more likely experience certain types care. Drawing on recent, nationally representative, longitudinal data from Ireland (N = 7516), this paper presents new evidence how childcare choices differ between Irish-born households, these differences explained. Compared...
In today's increasingly diverse societies, a key question is how to foster the structural integration of immigrants and their descendants. While research indicates that migrant educational underachievement serious issue, relatively little known about achievement gaps at younger ages in new immigration countries. The current study sets out estimate size disparities by migration background age five (i.e. when they start school) explores causes these gaps. It does so context offers compelling...
While research has investigated the effects of Great Recession on Irish economy using economic indicators or cross-sectional household-level data, this note applies group-based multitrajectory modelling to provide a more nuanced approach. Using nationally representative, longitudinal data from Growing Up in Ireland study, we analyse patterns three common measures well-being (financial strain; disposable income; material deprivation) across households period leading up to, during and after...
Western European politics has experienced considerable change since the 1980s, with emergence of new parties and immigration’s politicisation. However, no studies have examined Green party discussions immigration, or their interaction radical right parties. We hypothesise that increases in right’s vote share, saliency they attach to will incentivise Greens discuss immigration more. also examine an alternative explanation how salient is for left- right-wing affect Greens. test this by...
Many scholars highlight the potentially equalising effects of early childhood education and care, which may be particularly relevant for children with a migration background. To properly understand effects, it is important to consider are more likely experience certain types care. Drawing on recent, nationally representative, longitudinal data (N= 7,516), this paper presents new evidence how care type choices differ between native immigrant households in Ireland. The results indicate that...
AbstractWhile students of immigrant origin often face difficulties during their school career, educational aspirations and expectations have been found to be relatively high. Less is known, however, about the migrant descent in more recent countries immigration. Furthermore, occupational received less attention literature. Drawing on data from a nationally representative longitudinal study Irish children, this paper provides first investigation case by comparing teens across five ethnic...
Children of migrant origin often face inequalities in academic opportunities, with research suggesting that achievement gaps are present even early the life course. Early childhood education and care (ECEC) is put forward as a possible equaliser. However, there need for more population-level studies well European context, especially recent countries immigration. In this article, we draw on data from nationally representative Irish cohort study (N =7,781) use propensity score methods to...

Abstract Education is key to the structural integration of immigrants and their children. While research indicates that educational inequalities by migration background are a serious issue, relatively little known about when, how why they develop. The current paper adds literature investigating what extent achievement gaps develop during primary school period. Drawing on data from national longitudinal study children in Ireland ( N = 7577) using equation modelling, it presents path model...
Education is key to the structural integration of immigrants and their children. While research indicates that migrant educational underachievement a serious issue, relatively little known about when, how why gaps develop. Hitherto, longitudinal on skill scarce. The current paper adds literature by investigating much migration-related disparities found during primary school can be attributed inequalities already existed before life. To do so, it uses equation modelling draws national study...
