Discounting Extreme Positions: Normalization and Support for the Far Right Survey, 2023

When are far right parties punished for their extreme positions? This dataset explores whether punishments of counter-normative position-taking are conditional on the degree to which the far right is normalized or stigmatized in the party system. It includes responses to a survey related to the Vox party in Spain. The dataset includes indicators capturing reactions to extreme statements made by the party relating to both the Francoist dictatorship as well as LGBTQ issues under situations where Vox is framed as ‘’normal’’ or ‘’stigmatized’’ in the party system. It also includes data that more generally captures party preferences and other political attitudes. Results from these data have been used in a working paper written by the dataset creators: ‘Discounting extreme positions: Normalization and support for the far right,’ which argues that the normalization of a party can reduce the costs that it faces from its extreme statements.

极右翼政党何时会因其极端立场而受到惩处？本数据集旨在探究，针对反规范立场表达的惩处是否以极右翼政党在政党体系中的正常化或污名化程度为条件。本数据集包含针对西班牙沃克司（Vox）政党的相关调查回复，其中涵盖两类指标：其一用于捕捉在沃克司被塑造为政党体系内“正常化”或“污名化”的情境下，公众对该党涉及佛朗哥独裁统治及LGBTQ议题的极端言论的反应；其二则更广泛地采集了政党偏好与其他政治态度相关的数据。本数据集的创建者曾基于该数据撰写工作论文《对极端立场的折扣：正常化与对极右翼的支持》（Discounting extreme positions: Normalization and support for the far right），文中提出核心论点：政党的正常化可降低其因极端言论所需承担的舆论成本。
