Jochem van Noord is a researcher in the Social Psychology department at the Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences, University of Groningen. His work focuses on the intersection of political psychology, social stratification, and belief systems, examining how political identity and social status influence attitudes and behaviors across multiple countries.
Dr. van Noord's research expertise spans affective polarization, political belief systems, meritocratic beliefs, and education-based affective attitudes. His work demonstrates how subjective social status interacts with meritocratic beliefs to shape responses to economic conflict, and how higher educational attainment correlates with greater political trust and reduced populism. He frequently employs large-scale international surveys to examine these phenomena across diverse cultural contexts, contributing significantly to understanding political polarization and social inequality.
His recent publications reveal a strong focus on political psychology and social stratification, with notable contributions to journals like Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin and British Journal of Sociology. Dr. van Noord has been involved in several major collaborative research projects, including the UNDPOLAR survey and the TISP dataset examining climate change attitudes across 68 countries.
Dr. van Noord's research has received substantial media attention, particularly for work on "The Political Failure of Bidenomics," which was covered by 11 news outlets and widely discussed across social media platforms including X (formerly Twitter), Bluesky, and Facebook, reaching hundreds of thousands of readers and generating significant academic interest with numerous Mendeley readers.
