Summary: Mainstream parties in Western Europe are finding it increasingly difficult to unite their base of support as voters are facing cross-pressures between conservative and progressive attitudes on economic and cultural issues. This study reveals that despite a stable asymmetry in Western European mass attitudes, with support for the left being common among voters with progressive attitudes, it only takes conservatism on one issue to switch to the right. The research highlights how these cross-pressures often lead to a preference for right-wing parties and examines the challenges this poses for center-right parties.

Summary: The opioid epidemic has had a profound impact on American public health and politics, with research linking community opioid crisis severity to political behavior. However, individual perceptions are influenced by factors such as actual data, racial perceptions, and geographical location. Despite this, these perceptions did not significantly impact voter behavior in the 2018 midterm election.

Summary: The article challenges the notion that populism is solely activated or fuelled by contextual factors, instead presenting it as an ideological attitudinal dimension that can impact vote choice even when supply-side factors are not prominent. Empirical analyses using the 2015 Canadian federal election as a case study support the idea that populist attitudes can still influence voting behavior in settings where traditional supply-side factors are not salient. Ultimately, populism is shown to be a significant demand-side attitudinal dimension, even in less fertile ground.

Summary: The US public holds nuanced views about China, with some supporting trade but opposing the trade war, while others have a more economically militant stance supporting both trade and the trade war. Political identity strongly influences attitudes toward the trade war, but weakly affects views on trade with China. Perceptions about China and its government, people, and culture are closely linked to views on trade with China, but not with views on the trade war.

Summary: Survey research shows that individuals with university degrees tend to lean towards left-liberal ideology compared to those without higher education. However, the effect of universities on political ideology and partisan identification remains a subject of debate, requiring further research to establish causal relationships.

Summary: Equity is central in the U.S. policy response to COVID-19, particularly in vaccine allocation. A majority of people support the use of disadvantage indices in promoting equity, while a small percentage oppose it. Political party affiliation plays a role in determining support or opposition. Providing a numerical anchor affects the preference for vaccine allocation.

Summary: Since the late 1970s, cultural policy in Spain has shifted from being virtually non-existent to a priority, especially at the regional and local level. However, since the 2000s, factors such as austerity, regional tensions, and crisis of the model have undermined these policies, posing threats to cultural politics.

Summary: Three studies suggest that attitudes towards diversity are multidimensional and differ based on ideological differences, with conservatives and liberals showing preferences towards certain types of diversity. Conservative participants tend to value viewpoint diversity more, while liberals view demographic diversity as more relevant.

Summary: Donald Trump's surprising support among U.S. Latina/o voters in 2016 and improved performance in the 2020 election raised questions for Latina/o politics scholars due to his strong anti-immigrant agenda. This study examines the gender differences in Latina/o immigration enforcement attitudes and the role of immigrant identity among Latinas. The findings suggest distinct attitudes between Latinas and Latino men, highlighting the importance of structural differences in Latina/o beliefs in this policy area.

Summary: In 2018, Swiss citizens voted to include the promotion of cycling in the Swiss Constitution. The results of the post-vote survey revealed that current cyclists were more likely to support the measure due to their awareness of the lack of cycling infrastructure. Non-cyclists, on the other hand, were more reluctant, possibly because they did not want to challenge the dominant car-centered system. Political leaning was also a significant factor, with left-leaning individuals more likely to support cycling inclusion in the Constitution. Interestingly, support for the vote was consistent across social classes, ages, and residential contexts.

Summary: A large nationally representative study in the United States explored the impact of grandiose and vulnerable narcissism on adherence to COVID-19 protective measures. The study found that higher levels of grandiose narcissism were associated with less vaccination and mask-wearing, but a greater tendency to tell others to wear masks. Different facets of narcissism also had varying effects, with entitlement/exploitativeness predicting less mask-wearing and vaccination, and authority/leadership-seeking predicting more encouragement of mask-wearing. For vulnerable narcissism, higher levels of self-centeredness and oversensitivity to judgement were linked to different patterns of mask-wearing and vaccination.

Summary: In a large-scale study in the United States, it was found that candidates running for political office tend to exhibit higher levels of narcissism. Previous research had already shown that individuals who express interest in running for office but do not actually do so are more likely to display grandiose narcissism. However, using the SINS measure of narcissism, this study demonstrates that narcissistic individuals not only have greater ambition for political office, but are also more likely to actively run for office.

Summary: The study found that the transmission of partisan orientations from parent to child occurs less than half the time, which is different from the generally held view. Politicization improves child perception, but has no role in the child's motivation to adopt parental values. Closeness and parental value strength influence children to want to be like their parents.

Summary: Research has revealed evidence of heritability in moral psychology based on moral dilemma approaches commonly used in Dual Process Theory. These findings not only help to understand the genetic influences in moral decision-making, but also aid in establishing the effectiveness of different intuitionist theoretical frameworks and the diversity of viewpoints among individuals.

Summary: The level of narcissism is positively correlated with political participation, where individuals with higher narcissism are more likely to engage in political activities such as contacting politicians, signing petitions, participating in demonstrations, donating money, and voting. Different components of narcissism have varying effects on political participation, with superiority and authority/leadership traits positively related to participation, while self-sufficiency is negatively related.
