INSIGHT

Populism and Social Status Dynamics

  • A study on populism and status revealed an inverse correlation between desire for status and interest in populism.
  • Populism supporters tend to prefer strong leaders rather than seeking high positions themselves.
  • Anti-populists often have a strong desire for status and oppose the idea of a strong man leader.
  • This dynamic reflects differing societal experiences: populists see deteriorating communities, while the upper segment sees relative order.
  • Both groups can be further divided into those genuinely concerned about societal issues and those seeking power or abdicating responsibility.
