Beyond police encounters: everyday racism and trust in the police
Trust in the police is essential for democratic legitimacy, yet it is declining across Western Europe. Immigrants and their descendants, who face disproportionate levels of discrimination, report p...

Navigating uncertainty: The role of tolerance for ambiguity in linking personality traits to ideological variables and radical right voting
Previous studies suggest that personality traits (e.g., the Big Five) influence voting behavior for radical right parties (RRPs) indirectly via ideoloβ¦

ABSTRACT
Under the long-standing backdrop of the climate crisis, would communication about acute energy crises encourage the publicβs support for policies facilitating the adoption of renewable energy technologies? Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we conducted a survey experiment in the United Kingdom (Nβ=β2,760) in early 2024 to test the effects of three messages (energy affordability, energy independence, climate change vs. control) aimed to encourage support for renewable adoption policies. We find that across all respondents, the climate-change and energy-affordability messages increase policy support, while the effect of the energy-independence message is nonsignificant. The energy independence message increased policy support among the political center-right but not among the political left; it also increased policy support among those not concerned about climate change, but not among the climate-concerned. Contrary to expectations, the energy affordability message increased policy support among moderate-to-high-income respondents but not low-income respondents.
