{"product_id":"societal-pessimism-eefje-steenvoorden-9789037707861","title":"Societal Pessimism: A Study of Its Conceptualization, Causes, Correlates and Consequences","description":"This book uses empirical and theoretical enquiry to investigate the origins and prevalence of societal pessimism. Pessimism about the future of society has infiltrated Western political and public debates. However, there has been little scientific enquiry into these attitudes. Part I reveals how people describe their concerns in their own words. Part II explores differences in societal pessimism, both countries, and within countries over time, and to what extent such differences in societal pessimism can be explained by the political and economic context. Part III investigates how societal pessimism relates to various types of attitudes and behaviour that are vital for the functioning of democracy, namely voting behavior, political and civic participation, and identification with political-geographic groups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eefje Steenvoorden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9037707866\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789037707861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Netherlands Institute for Social Research\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Eefje Steenvoorden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48435252363519,"sku":"9789037707861","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_34fbbf30-0c3a-49c5-901f-5a7fac17daf3.jpg?v=1777149196","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/societal-pessimism-eefje-steenvoorden-9789037707861","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
