L'idéologie flexible populiste : conceptualisation, opérationalisation et étude de ses prédicteurs au niveau individuel
No full textLa recherche présentée ici avait deux objectifs principaux. Le premier concerne la conceptualisation et l'opérationnalisation de l'idéologie flexible populiste à la lumière des théories de la psychologie sociale - en particulier en interprétant la définition consensuelle de l'idéologie légère populiste de Mudde et Kaltwasser (2017) dans une perspective d'identité sociale. La seconde correspond à l'intégration de deux hypothèses macro-sociologiques et politologiques du populisme, interprétant le populisme comme une conséquence du distress économique et/ou du backlash culturel, avec une approche au niveau individuel enquêtant sur les crises politiques à la lumière des menaces psychiques. En particulier, nous nous sommes concentrés sur les prédicteurs psychosociaux de l'adhésion au populisme en employant des construits tels que la privation relative, le narcissisme collectif, la perception d'anomie, et la menace identitaire - ou frustration des motifs identitaires.The research presented here had two main objectives. One regards the conceptualisation and operationalisation of populist thin ideology in light of social psychological theories—that is, by interpreting Mudde and Kaltwasser’s consensual definition of populist thin ideology (2017) from a social identity perspective. The second corresponds to the integration of macro-sociological and politological hypotheses of populism, interpreting populism as a consequence of economic distress and/or cultural backlash, with an individual-level approach investigating political crises in light of psychological threats. In particular, we focused on socio-psychological predictors of the adhesion to populism by employing constructs such as relative deprivation, collective narcissism, perception of anomie, and identity threat or frustration of identity motives
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Populist Thin Ideology: From a Theoretical Conceptualisation to the Development of a New Scale
No full textInternational audienceThis chapter taps into the concept of populist thin ideology defined by Mudde and Kaltwasser as a set of two fundamental beliefs: (A) the society is divided between the pure people ingroup and corrupt elite outgroup, and (B) right politics intended as a direct expression of the people’s general will without any institutional mediator. Starting from this definition, we conducted an in-depth theoretical analysis of this concept, drawing on social identity theory. Further, we uncovered how extant attitudinal measures of populism present a lack of content and construct validity, implying a mismatch between theory and operationalisation. Accordingly, we designed a new attitudinal scale of the populist thin ideology that aimed to fix identified issues by caring that both (and only) the two subdimensions of populism were measured. We then evaluated the validity of the scale using correlational, factorial analyses, and regression conducted on three independent samples (total n = 1934) of the French adult population. Results showed good psychometric properties in terms of convergent, discriminant, construct, and predictive validity. These findings represent first robust evidence of POP-ThIS possessing satisfying psychometric validity requirements in France. Future research should test this scale in other political contexts and make empirical comparisons with other scales

Populism as a Thin Ideology: Towards an Identity Management Approach
No full textInternational audiencePopulist ideology is composed of two beliefs: That society is divided into a “good people” in-group and a “corrupted élite” out-group, and that politics should be the direct expression of a people’s general will without any institutional mediation (Mudde & Kaltwasser, 2017). Although several authors have argued the implication of identity processes in the adhesion to populism, there is little empirical evidence so far (Obradović et al., 2020). Further, most studies focused on far-right attitudes and groups, while overlooking populism as a thin ideology (e.g., Marchlewska et al., 2018). Following Motivated Identity Construction Theory (MICT; Vignoles, 2011), people construct their identity aiming to satisfy motives for self-esteem, belonging, distinctiveness, continuity, meaning, and efficacy. Our survey study (N=458, French population) aimed to examine the role of identity motives as antecedents of populist thin ideology. Satisfaction (vs frustration) of identity motives significantly predicted populist ideology (β=-.14, p<.01, 95% CI [-.23, -.05]) in a multiple regression model including intergroup, intragroup and temporal relative deprivation, anomie, collective narcissism, right (vs left) self-placement and socio-demographic variables. A SEM supported identity motive satisfaction as a mediator in the link between relative deprivation and populism (X2[530, N=458]=1203.22, p<.001; CFA=.92, RMSEA= .05[.05, .06]). This is the first study that supports the role of identity motives as explanatory variables in the adhesion to populist ideology. Our findings open a new perspective considering the adhesion to populism as a management strategy to face identity threat
