A German-American team involving the @excinequality.bsky.social​ at the #UniKonstanz warns: All too often, educational programmes aimed at strengthening social cohesion focus on addressing small social differences. Instead programmes should centre on universal human values: t1p.de/kptci

Neue Studie von FU-Soziologin Céline Teney @cteney.bsky.social: Die AfD-Wählerschaft ist keine homogene Gruppe – stattdessen lassen sich drei charakteristische Einstellungsprofile erkennen. Gemeinsam ist allen eine restriktive Migrationshaltung. 🔗 www.fu-berlin.de/presse/infor...
Infografik "Was AfD-Wählerinnen verbindet – und trennt". Untertitel: Neue Studie von Soziologin Céline Teney identifiziert Ablehnung von Migration als gemeinsamen Nenner, deutliche Unterschiede bei Autoritarismus, Antisemitismus und Krisenwahrnehmungen. Balkendiagramm "Drei Profile innerhalb der AfD-Wählerschaft" (Anteil an 858 befragten AfD-Wählerinnen, GLES 2025): Konservative Hardliner 67,2 Prozent, geprägt durch Ablehnung von Zuwanderung und starke Anpassungsforderungen an Minderheiten. Radikal-rechte Autoritäre 19,9 Prozent, mit stark ausgeprägten autoritären und antisemitischen Einstellungen. Moderate Konservative 12,9 Prozent, geleitet von wirtschafts- und außenpolitischen Erwägungen, mit der seltensten Zustimmung zu autoritärer Führung. Gemeinsamer Nenner aller drei Gruppen: restriktive Haltung zu Migration.
