SUMMARY:Juliette SAETRE (Toulouse School of Economics) - "From Frontlines to Home: The Impact of Returning Soldiers’ Testimonies on Public Opinion"
DESCRIPTION:Sociology Seminar \nTime: 10:00 am – 11:00 am\nDate: 26th of March\nRoom : 3049 \nJuliette SAETRE (Toulouse School of Economics) – “From Frontlines to Home: The Impact of Returning Soldiers’ Testimonies on Public Opinion” \nAbstract :  \nA large body of social science research treats political attitudes as settled dispositions\, formed early in life and reinforced through repeated interaction within homogeneous networks. On this account\, meaningful attitudinal change is expected to be rare and gradual. This paper examines a striking breach of this expectation: a rapid shift in Norwegian public opinion toward Israel in the late 1970s\, following decades of stable support. We argue that shifts in mass attitudes can emerge within communities when trusted in-group members return with firsthand information acquired through short-term mobility. Specifically\, we focus on Norwegian UNIFIL peacekeepers returning from Lebanon after 1978 who\, through their direct exposure to the conflict and continued embeddedness in local communities\, transmitted accounts that challenged dominant narratives about Israel’s actions in the region. Combining cross-sectional data on public opinion with original survey data on former veterans\, we leverage geographic variation in returnee intensity to show that counties with greater exposure to returnees experienced sharper declines in pro-Israel sentiment. The effect is strongest in areas where returnees remained socially embedded upon return and were politically aligned with their peers prior to deployment. The findings demonstrate how short-term mobility can drive changes in public opinion by enabling trusted in-group members to introduce new information into otherwise homogeneous environments. \n  \nOrganizers: \nEtienne OLLION (Pôle sociologie CREST)\n \nPaola TUBARO (Pôle sociologie CREST) \nNicolas JULIA (Pôle sociologie CREST) \nPatrick PRÄG (Pôle sociologie CREST) \nSponsors:\nCREST \n

SUMMARY:Luca CARBONE (KU Leuven) - "A Computational Sociology of Everyday Media Consumption for Youth Identities and Well-Being: Evidence from a Cross-National Daily Diary Study"
DESCRIPTION:Sociology Seminar \nTime: 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm\nDate: 26th of March\nRoom : 3049 \n  \nLuca CARBONE (KU Leuven) – “A Computational Sociology of Everyday Media Consumption for Youth Identities and Well-Being: Evidence from a Cross-National Daily Diary Study” \nAbstract :  \nHow do digitally distributed cultural narratives relate to young people’s everyday cognitions and well-being? In this talk\, I present evidence from a 14-day diary study on music consumption among 695 adolescents across three European countries\, namely Belgium\, France\, and Slovenia. Combining computational annotation of song lyrics with intensive longitudinal survey data\, I measure the exposure to individualistic success narratives in adolescents’ daily favorite songs and examine their associations with daily fluctuations in success-related cognitions and performance pressure. Using fixed-effects multilevel models\, I distinguish stable individual differences from day-to-day variation and assess whether observed relationships reflect exposure-based or selection-based processes. The findings indicate robust between- and within-person associations\, highlighting the self-regulatory and selective dimensions of cultural consumption in algorithmic media environments. Building on this study\, I conclude by outlining a broader computational sociology agenda integrating scalable and multimodal analysis of media content\, intensive longitudinal designs\, and algorithmic auditing to investigate how today’s digital media ecosystems contribute to the reproduction of intersectional inequalities in youth identities and well-being. \n  \nOrganizers: \nEtienne OLLION (Pôle sociologie CREST)\n \nPaola TUBARO (Pôle sociologie CREST) \nNicolas JULIA (Pôle sociologie CREST) \nPatrick PRÄG (Pôle sociologie CREST) \nSponsors:\nCREST \n
