This workshop aims to bring together scholars working on the analysis of political attitude change. We welcome contributions that focus on attitudinal change and rely either on panel surveys or experimental designs. Substantive and methodological papers from both senior and junior scholars are welcome.
We especially encourage papers that:
‐ analyze short and long term changes in a wide range of political attitudes such as political preferences, political involvement, attitudes towards democracy, etc.
‐ analyze the consequences of the economic crisis for changes in political attitudes.
‐ use panel data with more than two waves, use experimental research designs, or use a combination of both.
