What stressors did COVID-19 cause, and what was their impact on people's political participation?
Dr Luca Bernardi is a senior lecturer in politics at the University of Liverpool. He and Ian Gotlib, a psychologist and professor at Stanford University, have been working on a piece of research analysing things like fear about one's health, financial worries, and restricted social contact, and their impact on how people feel about politics.
The research so far has thrown up some fascinating findings and a few surprises. In this episode, Dr Bernardi talks about the project, how it was conducted and how COVID-19 has impacted the public's feelings of trust in government and other political behaviour.
