Clashing democratic values: an empirical study of the trade-off between majority rule and minority rights among Dutch adolescents Clashing democratic values: an empirical study of the trade-off between majority rule and minority rights among Dutch adolescents doi:10.17026/DANS-ZBE-WK2Heasy-dataset:256300 L. E. M. Mulder 2019-08-01 DANS Data Station Social Sciences and Humanities 2022-09-07 Social Sciences <p>This file encompasses a sub-set of the data that is collected as part of the Dutch Adolescents Panel on Democratic Values (DAPDV; Adolescentenpanel Democratische Kernwaarden en Schoolloopbanen (ADKS)). To examine the extent to which adolescents prefer majority rule or minority rights, we set up a dynamic vignette experiment among more than 2500 Dutch students (12-13 years old). The results show that adolescents in a minoritized position, in higher educational tracks, and with more political interest are more likely to prefer consensus decision-making. The political context matters as well: adolescents weigh the sizes of the majority and minority, and the persuasiveness of arguments in their preference for a specific type of decision-making. All in all, this study suggests that Dutch adolescents already have a very nuanced and complex view of democratic decision-making.</p> https://ssh.datastations.nl/oai doi:10.17026/DANS-ZBE-WK2H 2025-12-03T01:00:37Z ddi:codebook:2_5
