Perception of the welfare state in a context of social diversity and inequality (CHF 308'000)
2000 - 2003
Applicant : Christian Staerklé
Other partners : Patricia Roux (co-requérante), Christophe Delay, Lavinia Gianettoni
This project investigated the factors that lead to support or rejection of various programmes of the Swiss welfare state. The survey was based on 769 individual interviews and carried out in four Swiss cities, Lausanne, Neuchâtel, Bern and St-Gallen. Overall, the majority of respondents defend the idea of a strong welfare state. The collective old-age pension system (AVS) in its current or extended form is clearly supported. The loyalty towards the universalist principle is grounded on feelings of economic insecurity and the perception of inequalities between privileged and disadvantaged social categories. Persons from a relatively disadvantaged social background (e.g., French-speaking Swiss, women, persons with a low level of education) are more in favour of universalist principles than other respondents. Opinions concerning health insurance are split between support for policies of solidarity (premiums adapted to income and fiscal financing) and the desire to cut costs by means of higher contributions for individuals with risk behaviour or the complete exclusion of certain health risks (e.g., obesity). The sample is ambivalent towards social assistance policies: on the one hand it is in favour of an increase of welfare expenditure, whereas on the other hand it supports individual targeting of benefits, forced social reintegration of beneficiaries and stronger sanctions in case of abuse. In general, vague feelings of a loss of values and social disorder lead to a willingness to control and sanction individuals whose behaviour seems irresponsible or immoral, for example through the cutting of social benefits to foreigners and immigrants. Supplementary results concern the support for maternity insurance and for collective rights granted to minorities (e.g., persons with a handicap, homosexuals).

Perceived legitimacy of intergroup agression and collective punishment as a function of group value (CHF 171'000)
2008 - 2012
Applicant : Juan-Manuel Falomir-Pichastor
Other partners : Christian Staerklé, Fabrizio Butera
This project investigates factors which determine whether or not intergroup aggression is perceived as legitimate. Among the different forms of intergroup aggression, we emphasise collective punishment which refers to a process of retaliation against a group whose individual members are perceived as having violated important norms and rules. The main goal of the present project is to examine the hypothesis that the perceived legitimacy of intergroup aggression and collective punishment is based on the assumed moral value of groups. This research question has important implications for perceptions of conflicts occurring in the real world such as international military interventions. Prior research has shown that the political structure of conflicting groups in terms of a democratic-egalitarian or a non-democratic hierarchical organisation moderates the perceived legitimacy of intergroup aggression and collective punishment. For example, aggressions perpetrated by members of an egalitarian group at the expense of members of a hierarchical group were perceived as the most legitimate, compared to other configurations between conflicting groups. Three research directions will be undertaken: (1) examination of the relationship between political group structure (i.e. more or less democratic or egalitarian groups) and shared responsibility by group members. (2) testing of the hypothesis that asymmetrical moral value attributed to democratic and non-democratic groups actually constitutes the explanatory factor of the perceived differential legitimacy of aggressions. (3) study of the relationship between an explanation in terms of group value and an alternative explanation according to which differences in perceived legitimacy of intergroup aggressions are due to a social categorization in terms of ingroups and outgroups.

The social psychology of attitudes towards cultural diversity: A multilevel analysis in Switzerland
2009 - 2010
Applicant : Eva Green
Other partners : Christian Staerklé, Alain Clémence
This project investigates the social and contextual foundations of individual attitudes towards cultural diversity and immigration in Switzerland. Based on a social psychological framework, we examine why citizens support or oppose integration of immigrants in a number of social domains, expressed for example in attitudes towards cultural diversity at the workplace, rights of asylum seekers, and laws prohibiting racism and discriminatory treatment. The research is carried out on existing national survey data on diversity and immigration. Our research tests competing predictions based on threat and intergroup contact theories on both the individual and the contextual level. While threat theories emphasize the negative impact of immigrant presence (either perceived as a material or a symbolic threat), contact theories focus on its positive consequences (based on positive experience with immigrants). By studying how well-established psychological processes underlying prejudice and discrimination are moderated by contextual, canton/municipality-level characteristics, this project aims to clarify the conditions under which threat or contact hypotheses are better suited to account for diversity attitudes. The project will evolve in three phases: (1) Databases which contain items on diversity attitudes, threat perceptions and contact are overviewed and an inventory of relevant items is created. In parallel, a context-level indicator database is created. (2) Comparable and reliable indicators across the databases are constructed. The social psychological meaning of cantons/municipalities as units of analysis is evaluated. (3) The predicted multilevel models (regression analyses and structural equations) are tested and cross-validated with different datasets.

Few concepts are currently as debated, yet contested, as populism. Over the last decade, populism has emerged as a social and political force across many European countries. Complementing recent populism research in political science and communication sciences, the present proposal contributes to fill this gap with an ambitious research programme to study the attitudinal structure, antecedents and outcomes of populist representations in a crossnational perspective.

Based in social and political psychology, our research offers new insights for an ideational approach to populism that considers populism neither to be limited to a simplistic political style or discourse, nor to marginal fringe movements jeopardising the democratic process with irrational and emotional behaviours. Instead, we consider populist thinking to define significant and heterogeneous segments of contemporary national populations who are united in anchoring their views on society in an irreconcilable opposition between the "people" and the "elite". Yet, this founding antagonism of populist representations takes on many forms depending on individual, group-based and contextual factors that will be examined in this research. The present proposal offers an interdisciplinary framework to study populist representations across four European
countries that have witnessed, over the last decades, a significant rise of either right-wing (national) or left-wing (social) populist movements: Switzerland, Finland, France and Greece.

Disciplinary attitudes: Punitiveness, social control and perceived legitimacy of authority (CHF 114'000)
2007 - 2010
Applicant : Christian Staerklé
This research investigates differential attitudes towards institutional social control, referred to as disciplinary attitudes. Based on secondary analyses of national (e.g., Vox, Selects, SHP, MosaiCH) and international (e.g., Eurobarometer, ESS, ISSP) survey data, its goal is to examine the social foundations of perceived public legitimacy of disciplinary institutions such as the police and the legal system as well as the factors which shape public attitudes towards punitive and repressive policies. The project addresses public sentiments about the "punitive turn" which has marked the development of Western societies during the last two or three decades. By studying disciplinary attitudes, the project thus speaks to highly mediatised issues such as widespread feelings of urban insecurity, fear of youth violence, and the experience of social exclusion.
Two major processes are predicted to explain perceived legitimacy of authorities and support for disciplinary action: (1) Support for disciplinary action should be a strategy to enhance negative social identities associated with low status and socially excluded groups, because support for disciplinary action allows differentiating one-self positively from subjectively inferior groups. High-status groups, in turn, are more motivated to support the institutions which maintain their superior position in the social hierarchy. (2) Support for disciplinary action should reflect coping with perceived, plural threats to the social order. The project tests the hypothesis that disciplinary action is viewed as a response to groups perceived and constructed as threatening the social order, that is, to "bad" people (e.g., criminals), to free riders (e.g., welfare beneficiaries), to outgroups (e.g., immigrants) and to low-status groups (e.g., the poor).
Advanced statistical techniques, including Structural Equation Modelling and multilevel analyses, will be performed.

Applicant : Christian Staerklé

When confronted with important life events, individuals must adapt and engage in regulation strategies. Depending on the event, they may strive to optimally integrate it into their life course, they may seek to regain control over their lives, or they just want to minimise pain and suffering resulting from the event. Analysing the normative foundations of life courses and their regulation from a social psychological perspective, this project examines the relationships between different forms of vulnerability and different types of regulation strategies in response to normative and non-normative life events. It focuses on both individually and collectively experienced events occurring predominantly during the transition from adolescence to adulthood, in particular in the work and family spheres. The projected research is mainly based on longitudinal (SHP) and cross-sectional (ESS, ISSP, EVS) data analysis.

International criminal justice as experienced by the accused: legitimacy and responsibility (CHF 317'000)
2011 - 2012
Applicant : Paola Gaeta
Other partners : Christian Staerklé, Robert Roth
Based on an interdisciplinary approach that combines expertise in international penal law and theory and methodology from social psychology, this research aims to contribute to the evaluation of the international criminal justice case law and its legitimacy with regard to the conventional objectives of criminal law (special deterrence, rehabilitation and retribution). Semi-directed interviews with 20 individuals who where accused and judged (convicted or acquitted) by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) will be carried out. In-depth qualitative analysis, using thematic and typological methods, of the
interviewees' discourses concerning their perceptions of procedures and sanctions stemming from the ICTY, as well as of their criminal responsibility will be carried out. We will then evaluate the case law of international criminal jurisdictions by confronting it to the perceptions of convicted individuals. Demonstrating the feasibility of this research, a pilot interview with a person convicted by the ICTY has already been conducted. International criminal justice is currently at crossroads because of the imminent closure of international criminal Tribunals and the onset of trials at the International Criminal Court. The appraisal of the impact of these jurisdictions and their working in light of their objectives is essential, and the impact of this project therefore potentially significant.

Welfare attitudes as responses to perceived risks and threats (CHF 253'000)
2009 - 2011
Applicant : Christian Staerklé
This individual project is carried out within the framework of a European Science Foundation research programme (HumVIB: Human Values, Institutions and Behaviour) on Welfare attitudes in a changing Europe (directed by Stefan Svallfors, Umea University, Sweden)
This project investigates attitudes towards policies of social welfare, redistribution and social control held by citizens of 30 European countries. On the individual level, such "welfare attitudes" are viewed as individual responses deployed to cope with perceived risks (e.g., risk of unemployment, of being victimised) and societal threats (e.g., threat of a dangerous society, of freeriders taking advantage of the system, of a country loosing its national identity). Policy attitudes are thus seen as devices with which citizens aim to shape social order in a democratic society, for example by legitimising privileges granted to dominant groups in society, by punishing non-conformity, by favouring nationals over foreigners, or by correcting illegitimate inequalities. On the contextual level, a multilevel approach studies the impact of contextual and institutional factors of the 30 European countries under investigation (such as welfare regime, crime levels, social inequality or economic performance), on welfare and control attitudes, along with potential cross-level interactive effects. On a theoretical level, the project seeks to develop an empirically grounded model of the complex relationships in lay thinking between models of social justice and models of social control, and their origins in citizens' group membership and everyday life. Results will be based on data from the fourth round of the European Social Survey (to be released in September 2009) and in particular on its new module on welfare attitudes. Multilevel analyses and structural equation modelling will be the main analytical strategies.
