Effects of Values and Context on Political Attitudes

Abstract

The papers in this panel examine how values and political contexts influence political attitudes. One paper explores the relationship between the economic crisis, value change and support for EU, while another examines the relationship between democratic values and regime support in different political systems. Other topics in the papers are how cross-cutting ties have impact on civic attitudes, how television news influence the salience of immigration issues and whether persuasive words can increase support for polices by appealing to a broader audience than ideological value-laden words often do.
