Replication Data for: Politics of Nostalgia and Populism: Evidence from Turkey

Replication data for the paper entitled \"Politics of Nostalgia and Populism: Evidence from Turkey\" ABSTRACT This article aims to scrutinize the relationship between collective nostalgia and populism. Different populist figures utilize nostalgia by referring to the good old, glorious days of their country and reflecting their resentment against the elites and establishment. Populists instrumentalize nostalgia for constituting their populist heartland, which is a retrospectively constructed utopia on an abandoned but undead past. By using two original datasets from Turkey, this study first analyzes whether collective nostalgia characterizes populist attitudes of the electorate. The results illustrate that collective nostalgia has a significantly positive relationship with populist attitudes even after controlling for various independent variables, including religiosity, partisanship, satisfaction with life, and Euroskepticism. Secondly, this study tests whether nostalgic messages affect populist attitudes with an online survey experiment. The results indicate that Ottoman nostalgia paves the way for increasing populist attitudes. Kemalist nostalgia, on the other hand, has a weak direct effect on populist attitudes, but its effect disappears when controlled with party preference.

题为《怀旧政治与民粹主义：来自土耳其的实证证据》的论文复现数据集

摘要 本文旨在系统检视集体怀旧与民粹主义之间的关联。各类民粹主义政治人物常借由提及本国往昔的辉煌岁月，抒发对精英阶层与当权建制派的不满情绪，以此挪用怀旧情怀。民粹主义者将怀旧情怀工具化，用以构建其民粹主义核心受众阵营——这是一种基于被弃置却并未消逝的过往所回溯建构的乌托邦。

本研究依托两份源自土耳其的原创数据集，首先分析集体怀旧是否构成选民民粹主义态度的典型特征。研究结果显示，即便在控制宗教虔诚度、党派认同、生活满意度与疑欧主义等多项自变量后，集体怀旧仍与民粹主义态度呈现显著的正向关联。其次，本研究通过在线调查实验，检验怀旧信息是否会对民粹主义态度产生影响。结果表明，奥斯曼帝国式怀旧能够助推民粹主义态度的强化；而凯末尔主义式怀旧对民粹主义态度仅存在微弱的直接影响，当纳入党派偏好作为控制变量后，该影响便不再显著。
