👥 Can network effects explain why fewer women than men support the radical right?

@jokematthieu.bsky.social, @lcjacobs89.bsky.social & Silvia Erzeel find that having a radical right supporter in one's network is strongly linked to support; significantly more so for women.

Description of the article "Gendered support for the radical right: the role of personal network cues" by Joke Matthieu, Laura Jacobs and Silvia Erzeel, published online first in West European Politics.

Figure 2. Nine-panel plot of the same predicted outcomes, split by gender. With a Vlaams Belang voter in the network, women's propensity to vote for the party rises more steeply than men's and their support for the cordon sanitaire falls more steeply; for media exposure and local vote share the male and female lines are much closer together.

📄 New publication in WEP w/ @jokematthieu.bsky.social & Silvia Erzeel! Why do fewer women than men support PRRPs? Findings:
🔹Having a VB supporter in one's personal network is strongly associated with supporting VB
🔹This relation is stronger among women <-> men
