2. Below is a table taken from an article by Noam Gidron and Peter Hall (‘The
Politics of Social Status: Economic and Cultural Roots of the Populist Right’,
British Journal of Sociology, 2017). Based on surveys of representative
samples of the adult population in 15 European countries conducted in 2009 by
the International Social Survey Program, it reports the coefficient estimates and
standard errors (in parentheses) from a linear regression analysis modeling
respondents probability of voting for the populist right as an outcome of various
predictors: respondents’ subjective social status (measured on a 10-point
scale), occupation, income, gender, age, union membership, etc.
Explain the principle for reading this regression table and describe four or more
of the voting patterns that it evidences.
What do you think might explain these patterns?
