General Information
Title
Wave 1
Abstract
This study is twofold. First, this study aims to investigate to what extent the language in which a questionnaire is drawn up, affects the invariance between cultural groups (within a sample). Secondly, this study investigates whether there are differences in the extent to which groups of different ethnic origin, within the Netherlands, experience feelings of distrust, dissatisfaction and a desire for political change.
