Inequality belief systems: Open Access

Relevant Info

My Ph.D. thesis revolves around studying sociopolitical attitudes with a network approach. I started by analyzing attitudes toward inequality, and I am now moving forward to understand broader political belief systems. My approach melts threee streams of research. First, I rely upon Belief Network Analysis, a well-established branch of sociology and political science.Second, I am interested in the relational heterogeneity highlighted by Cultural Sociology. Third, I exploit the recent methodological advancements of Network Psychometrics to improve social sciences’ understanding of these phenomena. My research is highly interdisciplinary and lies at the border between social sciences and psychology, which is my latest interest.
