Višerazinsko modeliranje egalitarnog sindroma i validacija kratke skale SEMA-5
Multilevel modeling of the egalitarian syndrome: introducing a brief sema-5 scale

Summary/Abstract: The Egalitarian Syndrome theory (Županov, 1970) was recently operationalized and tested using county-level development indices (Štulhofer and Burić, 2015; Burić and Štulhofer, 2016). To address whether the popular support for radical egalitarian attitudes can be better explained by pointing to the persistence of agrarian norms – as originally suggested by Josip Županov – or to the costs of post-communist transition, another recent paper employed a historical county-level analysis (Vuković, Štulhofer, and Burić, 2017). Stronger evidence was found in favor of the first than the second explanation. This study re-assessed the evidence using a more comprehensive and statistically robust approach (multilevel modeling). In addition to corroborating the evidence supporting the persistence of agrarian norms hypothesis, the authors present a brief 5-item measure of egalitarian syndrome (SEMA-5) as an analytical tool suitable for a wide range of social science surveys
