SUMMARY:Economic Mobility Perceptions and Populist Support
DESCRIPTION:12:30-13:30 // This research investigates the relationship between perceived economic mobility and populist support, focusing on the US and Germany. Amidst an escalating wave of populism that challenges democratic institutions in the West, it explores whether low upward mobility fuels the perception of exclusion in a system that favors a select 'establishment’. To test a causal relationship, a survey experiment with an information treatment on economic mobility is conducted among representative samples of about 6,000 residents in the US and Germany, thus allowing for a comparative analysis. Additionally, this study tests several mechanisms – locus of control, trust in media, social envy, and the emotion of fear. Through this, it aims to dissect the socio-economic and psychological drivers of populism and thereby offers insights into democratic stability and social cohesion.
