This book explores developments in the social legitimacy of
present-day European welfare states since the banking crisis of
2008. It analyses how the welfare attitudes of Europeans have been
influenced by economic recession and consequent welfare reforms, as
well as reactions to on-going debates around welfare. Utilising
cross-national perspectives, the book analyses the differences and
similarities in welfare attitudes of Europeans between 2008 and
2016. It highlights popular welfare attitudes towards different
groups of society, including migrants, the elderly and unemployed,
exploring if and why specific practices and policies would meet
popular resistance or approval. Social policy and sociology
scholars will find this book helpful, as the cross-national
analysis provides new insights into the contextual drivers of
welfare attitudes. It will also be useful to policy-makers and
practitioners working in Europe offering analysis of welfare
preferences, evaluations and perceptions. Contributors include: H.

Presenting a stimulating contribution to the quickly advancing
field of welfare attitudes research, this important book develops
the understanding of welfare legitimacy. It does so by assessing
the nature of popular judgments about welfare deservingness, as
well as the roots and consequences of these attitudes, offering a
state-of-the-art picture of the latest theoretical, conceptual and
methodological developments. The Social Legitimacy of Targeted
Welfare provides a multidisciplinary view on deservingness
attitudes, with contributions from sociology, political science,
media studies and social psychology. It advocates a multi-actor
perspective, looking not only at citizens' attitudes, but also at
attitudes of social administrators and policy-makers. The chapters
also present new research methods in the field, including discrete
choice experiments, factorial surveys, focus groups, and media
content analysis. This book will be of interest to students and
researchers in sociology, political science, and the fields of
social psychology, philosophy, economics and history. It will help
practitioners and policymakers in social policy, social work and
healthcare understand popular perceptions and beliefs regarding
just distributions of welfare. Contributors include: H. Blomberg,

Intended to bridge the gap between the latest methodological
developments and cross-cultural research, this interdisciplinary
resource presents the latest strategies for analyzing
cross-cultural data. Techniques are demonstrated through the use of
applications that employ cross-national data sets such as the
latest European Social Survey. With an emphasis on the generalized
latent variable approach, internationally prominent researchers
from a variety of fields explain how the methods work, how to apply
them, and how they relate to other methods presented in the book.
Syntax and graphical and verbal explanations of the techniques are
included. Online resources, available at
www.routledge.com/9781138690271, include some of the data sets and
syntax commands used in the book. Applications from the behavioral
and social sciences that use real data-sets demonstrate: The use of
samples from 17 countries to validate the resistance to change
scale across these nations How to test the cross-national
invariance properties of social trust The interplay between social
structure, religiosity, values, and social attitudes A comparison
of anti-immigrant attitudes and patterns of religious orientations
across European countries. The second edition includes six new
chapters and two revised ones presenting exciting developments in
the literature of cross-cultural analysis including topics such as
approximate measurement invariance, alignment optimization,
sensitivity analyses, a mixed-methods approach to test for
measurement invariance, and a multilevel structural equation
modeling approach to explain noninvariance. This book is intended
for researchers, practitioners, and advanced students interested in
cross-cultural research. Because the applications span a variety of
disciplines, the book will appeal to researchers and students in:
psychology, political science, sociology, education, marketing and
economics, geography, criminology, psychometrics, epidemiology, and
public health, as well as those interested in methodology. It is
also appropriate for an advanced methods course in cross-cultural
analysis.
