Also hunger for knowledge? Fancy a snack? Watch this knowledge clip about the research of Tilburg University researcher Tim Reeskens, in which he talks about his research on values in times of corona.

Confronted with covid-19 and tight measures to contain it, the Netherlands is confronted with several insecurities for which studies suggest that they impact relevant values and attitudes. Insecurities would increase reliance on authority and yield in-group at the expense of out-group solidarity, to give two examples. This study extends the European Values Study 2017 Netherlands with two follow-ups to be fielded in May and October to detect (1) if values have changed, and (2) how persistent this shift is. Tim Reeskens (Sociology) is affiliated with the Tilburg School of Sociology and Behavioral Sciences.
