Abstract We explore the relationship between populist attitudes and conspiratorial beliefs on individual level with two studies using American samples. First, we test whether what kinds of predict attitudes. Our results show that belief in conspiracies greedy, but not necessarily purely evil, elites are associated populism. Second, having a mentality is all separate sub‐dimensions – people‐centrism, anti‐elitism, good‐versus‐evil view politics. Results relation only first two, confirming...
With the recent upsurge of populism in developed and transition democracies, researchers have started measuring it as an attitude. Several scales been proposed for this purpose. However, there is little direct comparison between available alternatives. Scholars who wish to measure populist attitudes information help select best scale their purposes. In article, we directly compare seven from multiple perspectives: conceptual development, questionnaire design, dimensionality, information,...
Studies of demand‐side populism with a focus on attitudinal and behavioral factors are becoming more popular, but only few have explored the phenomenon's psychological determinants. We tackle lack conversation between scholars political psychologists test impact conspiracy beliefs, moral disengagement, need for cognition, belief in simple solutions populist attitudes. use most widespread ideational definition an attempt to bring clarity populism, as literature often conflates concept...
With widespread democratic backsliding globally, people's support for democracy-eroding leaders is receiving overdue attention. But existing studies have difficulty disentangling contextual effects (such as who in power at the time of survey) from individual differences (like which party one supports and how strongly). Moreover, we lack evidence on causal antecedents these attitudes. We propose a novel survey experimental design to strip away political context through hypothetical scenarios,...
Many studies have reported that business students been more apt to act in self-interested ways when compared their counterparts other academic fields. Beginning with the premise ethical behavior derives part from personality characteristics, authors tested whether (a) measures of an empathetic or narcissistic predicted self-reported decision making and (b) individual majors a tendency exhibit these traits. First, findings demonstrate traits are significant predictors making. Second, they...
Both genetic and environmental factors play a role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes cardiovascular diseases. The magnitude influences may vary different populations can be investigated by twin studies. In this cross-sectional study, 101 (63 monozygotic 38 dizygotic) adult pairs (n = 202; mean age: 44.3 ± 15.8 years) were investigated. Past medical history was recorded physical examination performed. Fasting venous blood samples taken for measuring laboratory parameters. For assessing...
Abstract In the last decade, political protest events have been rising in Western democracies. At same time, there has a steady increase diffusion of conspiracy theories communication, phenomenon that captured interest scholars for its growing relevance. However, while most research focuses on reasons why citizens believe conspiracies, studies looking at political-behavioral implications such beliefs, particular their connection to radicalism, more limited. this paper, we investigate...
Background: Genetics have a strong influence on calcified atherosclerotic plaques; however, data regarding the heritability of noncalcified plaque volume are scarce. We aimed to evaluate genetic versus environmental influences calcium (coronary artery calcification) score, and volumes by coronary computed tomography angiography in adult twin pairs without known disease. Methods: In prospective BUDAPEST-GLOBAL (Burden Atherosclerotic Plaques Study Twins—Genetic Loci Burden Lesions) classical...
Central to social systems are the attitudes of rank and file toward those who make political decisions (leaders), leaders known be characterized by two fundamental features. First, modal attitude is acceptance necessity coupled with acute aversion believed motivated ambition avarice; second, people highly variable some being markedly more sensitive than others traits leaders. But theoretical basis for these empirical facts has yet fully elucidated. In this article, we offer such a theory...
The Hungarian municipal elections of October 2019 were the first ray hope for numerous political forces aiming to topple decade-long Fidesz rule. In this election, opposition won Budapest's mayoral seat and 10 23 larger cities (turning 8). They also majorities in capital's assembly among district mayors 10). This was possible through unprecedented coordination all viable parties, electoral innovations like primaries, effective messaging, a major scandal. We discuss story election impact...
The first Hungarian Twin Registry was established in Budapest 1970 through the mandatory reporting of multiple-births. In 1980s a second, volunteer adult registry also founded. Unfortunately, both registries ceased to exist 1990s. Efforts started 2006 revive twin registry. team spearheading this effort reports here on progress. Currently, voluntary consists 310 pairs and multiplets. Current research focuses cardiovascular respiratory health yielded multiple awards publications. are way...
Abstract Background Non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD ) has been linked to increased cardiovascular morbidity. However, genetic factors have an unclear role in this condition. Aims To analyse heritability of and its association with abnormal vascular parameters a large twin cohort. Methods Anthropometric lipid metabolic were obtained from 208 adult Hungarian twins (63 monozygotic 41 dizygotic pairs; 58 men 150 women; age 43.7 ± 16.7 years). B‐mode ultrasonography was performed detect...
Objective: Central blood pressure and aortic stiffness have been consistently reported as strong cardiovascular risk factors. Twin studies by comparing identical with nonidentical twins produce information on the relative contribution of genes environment. Methods: One hundred fifty-four monozygotic (MZ) 42 dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs (age 43 ± 17 years) from Hungary United States underwent brachial central augmentation index (AIx), pressure, pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurements invasively...
Existing datasets provided by statistical agencies (e.g. Eurostat) show that the economic and financial crisis unfolded in 2008 significantly impacted lives livelihoods of young people across Europe. Taking these official statistics as a starting point, collaborative research project “Cultural Pathways to Economic Self-Sufficiency Entrepreneurship Europe” (CUPESSE) generated new survey data on social situation Europeans (18–35 years). The CUPESSE dataset allows for country-comparative...
Abstract Despite extensive research into English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in higher education, few if any studies have explored the role education autonomy driving EMI. This paper tests novel hypothesis that university autonomy—spearheaded across European through neoliberally predicated ‘steering at distance’ reforms—predicts The data are multilevel with institutions (HEIs) nested inside systems. University Autonomy Scorecards (Pruvot & Estermann, 2017) operationalise...
Objectives The impact of political efficacy on participation has been established in numerous classical studies behavior. However, the effects more general measures and voter turnout have received almost no attention. Additionally, seemingly independent contemporary developments field science proposed that is heritable. In this study, we propose to link two literatures, highlighting one possible mechanism through which genetic inheritance behavior absence evolutionary time horizons voting We...
In this study, we discuss one example where behavior genetic findings vary greatly across political contexts. We present original on how party identification is heritable around the 2008 election a sample of twins from Minnesota. As in contrast with late 1980s and mid‐2000 study interpreted their results, explain increasing partisan ideological polarization could be responsible for these seemingly contradictory findings. Minnesota sample, show correlation between ideology, finding consistent...
The election of Donald Trump in 2016 has often been characterized as part a larger populist wave sweeping Western democracies. However, claims about populism’s pervasiveness lack empirical support, particularly at the subnational level. This research note introduces US Governors Populism Database (USGPD), providing first quantitative measures rhetoric among state-level officials United States. Analyzing 400 speeches from 100 governor terms across all 50 states, we find that political system...
