Does studying at university make individuals less Eurosceptic?

A new EJPR journal study by Andrew McNeil and I finds that while university study does little to decrease Euroscepticism in the short-run, it has substantial long-run effects.

Online, on social media & podcast, men express resentment about women’s preferences for tall, rich men.

So why is the anger erupting now?

It is because when women were socially obliged to marry, they weren’t so picky & settled for less.

Dating is now harder for (most) men.

Delighted to see our paper with the amazing Tim Vlandas on the impact of Jihadist terrorist attacks on far-right preferences out on FirstView in Perspectives on Politics cambridge.org/core/journals/…

'Authoritarians travel in tight circles of like-minded people so much, they often think their views are commonly held in society, that they are the 'Moral Majority' or the 'Silent Majority'

(Altemeyer, B. 1998. 'The Other Authoritarian Personality')

I just visited Bob Altemeyer's website and I was sad to learn that he passed away last month.

His contribution to political psychology was monumental and his work inspired generations of students, including myself.

What is the core difference between ‘left’ and ‘right’ in politics?
