Velferdssjåvinisme i Norge? - Et listeeksperiment

Sammendrag
I denne artikkelen undersøker vi i hvilken grad nordmenn synes det er rettferdig å dele velferdsgoder med arbeidsimmigranter fra EØS-området. Vi bruker et surveyeksperiment – listeeksperimentet – for å forsøke å finne ut om folk virkelig sier hva de mener om dette spørsmålet. Ved å sammenligne resultatene fra listeeksperimentet med resultatene fra et direktespørsmål med en sammenlignbar formulering, finner vi at mange underrapporterer velferdssjåvinistiske holdninger. Dette indikerer at velferdssjåvinisme er et sensitivt tema beheftet med såkalt sosial ønskverdighetsskjevhet (social desirability bias): en tendens til å svare i henhold til hva respondenten mener er sosialt akseptabel atferd, og til ikke å rapportere ufordelaktig informasjon om seg selv.
Nøkkelord: sosial ønskverdighetsskjevhet, listeeksperiment, EU-immigrasjon, velferdssjåvinisme
Abstract
Abstract
In this article we examine the extent to which Norwegians think it is fair to share their welfare benefits with labour immigrants from the EU. We use a survey experiment – the list experiment – to uncover whether people say what they really think about this issue. On comparing the results from the experiment with results from direct questioning, we find that many under-report welfare chauvinistic attitudes, indicating that welfare chauvinism is a sensitive issue associated with so-called social desirability bias: the tendency of survey respondents to answer questions in a manner that will be viewed favourably by others.
