Abstract

Abstract Using the Swiss Household Panel, we examine whether experiencing relationship dissolution, unemployment, or a health crisis increases support for the Swiss People’s Party (SVP). Fixed effects models shows this to be the case. Changes in financial resources, attitudes or trust in the government cannot explain this effect. Finally, we test whether increased support for the SVP following these events is more likely among individuals with lower trust and income levels and with views similar of those of the SVP. We find that individuals with traditional gender values are more likely to support the SVP after separation.

（什么时候）关键的生活事件将人们推向民粹主义的激进右翼？在关系破裂、失业或健康危机后支持瑞士人民党

摘要使用瑞士家庭小组，我们研究了经历关系破裂、失业或健康危机是否会增加对瑞士人民党（SVP）的支持。固定效果模型显示了这种情况。财政资源、态度或对政府信任的变化无法解释这种影响。最后，我们测试了在这些事件之后，在信任和收入水平较低、观点与高级副总裁相似的个人中，是否更有可能增加对高级副总裁的支持。我们发现，具有传统性别价值观的个人在分居后更有可能支持SVP。

期刊介绍： The Swiss Journal of Sociology was established in 1975 on the initiative of the Swiss Sociological Association. It is published by Seismo and appears three times a year with the support of the Swiss Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences. Since 2016, all the articles of the Swiss Journal of Sociology are available as open access documents on De Gruyter Open: https://www.degruyter.com/view/j/sjs The journal is a multilingual voice for analysis and research in sociology. It publishes work on the theory, methods, practice, and history of the social sciences in English, French, or German. Although a central aim of the Journal is to reflect the state of the discipline in Switzerland as well as current developments, articles, research notes, debates, and book reviews will be accepted irrespective of the author’s nationality or whether the submitted work focuses on this country. The journal is understood as a representative medium and therefore open to all research areas, to a plurality of schools and methodological approaches. It neither favours nor excludes any research orientation but particularly intends to promote communication between different perspectives. In order to fulfil this aim, all submissions will be refereed anonymously by at least two reviewers.
