Project title
Understanding Adult Belief Change: The Interplay Between Individual and Societal Conditions
Project description
In this project, Katerina Manevska studies under what individual and societal conditions adults change their beliefs about four issues: institutional trust, ethnic outgroups, gender identities, and economic redistribution.
She uses panel data from six different countries and combines these with data on societal characteristics such as issue salience and policy change.
Manevska’s project will benefit from the theoretical and empirical work of the theme group project Why do adults change their beliefs? It will add to the group project by theorising and testing the role of individual factors, to get a better understanding of when, where and for which groups of people belief change throughout adulthood is likely to take place.
