About the project

This is a comparative quantitative survey study that will be conducted in Sweden and Poland followed by a systematic comparison with already existing recent survey results in Germany. It will investigate the existence and proliferation of right-wing extreme attitudes and prejudices. Data will be analyzed with the help of well-tested statistical indexes, foremost the right-wing extremism index and the group-focused enmity syndrome, used in the ongoing bi-annual German surveys since the early 2000s.
