项目摘要

The aim, during this fellowship, is to provide a unique trans-disciplinary contribution to the debate about the relationship between the UK and the European Union.The outputs from this fellowship will contribute to the programme's focus on attitudes towards the EU, including intra-UK regional variations in attitudes to the EU. Innovative interdisciplinary data sources on social and political attitudes to the EU and their drivers will be mined and analysed. The findings will be made accessible to policy-makers, political elites and to the wider public using novel applications of social media, direct collaboration with the mainstream media, and a public art installation as well as more traditional user engagement strategies. On a smaller scale, to keep coverage of what will be a rapidly shifting landscape current, some innovative ongoing research will be conducted. Continued UK membership of the European Union (EU), at least on the current terms of membership, increasingly appears to be in question. Traditionally an 'awkward partner' in the EU (George 1990), the UK as a whole has exhibited consistently low levels of attachment to the EU in cross-national opinion surveys. Prime Minister Cameron has promised that in the event of a Conservative victory in 2015, he will hold a referendum on continued EU membership of his country. At the same time, the UK Independence Party (UKIP), an avowedly Eurosceptic party, became the UK's largest party - with one third of the UK's seats - at the European Parliament elections of 2014. Yet, polls show support for EU membership in the UK to be peaking at its highest level in more than two decades (for example, IPSOS MORI Political Monitor, October 2014). Support for staying in the EU is highest in London (66%) and Scotland (60%). This poses a crucial dilemma to any vote-seeking political actor with anti-EU aspirations: how much does one move in the direction of proposing an anti-EU vision to a relatively Eurosceptic public, before one triggers a pro-EU backlash among the same public? Understanding how individual attachment to the EU is shaped and how context interacts with, and impacts upon, that attachment are matters of considerable contemporary interest to political elites, policy-makers and the general public. Recent advances in transdisciplinary methods, offer significant potential for the social sciences to make a unique contribution to explaining and predicting the responses of the public to changing political contexts and policy environments. Extensive opinion poll data exists but there is, as yet, no widely reported-on indirect political metric or psychological equivalent to, for example, Yougov or Panelbase. Drawing on extensive existing material (including experimental self-reports, physiological (hormone) testing data, neurological data from fMRI scanning and behavioural data) the applicant will address this gap in public knowledge in relation to EU developments. In addition, the shifting mood of the public on EU-related matters will be tracked throughout the period of the fellowship. Twitter analytics including sentiment-ratings, will be monitored; a visual twitter 'gallery', of photo, video and vine uploads, will be analysed, curated and made available using storify; and facial-coding of emotional responses to EU-related topics will be examined in collaboration with crowdEmotion http://www.crowdemotion.co.uk.

该奖学金的目的是为英国与欧盟之间关系的辩论提供独特的跨学科贡献。该奖学金的产出将有助于该计划关注对欧盟的态度，包括英国内部对欧盟态度的区域差异。创新的跨学科数据来源对欧盟的社会和政治态度及其驱动因素将被挖掘和分析。研究结果将通过社交媒体的新颖应用、与主流媒体的直接合作、公共艺术装置以及更传统的用户参与策略，向政策制定者、政治精英和更广泛的公众提供。在较小的范围内，为了保持对快速变化的景观的覆盖，将进行一些创新的持续研究。英国是否继续留在欧盟（EU），至少在目前的成员资格条件下，似乎越来越受到质疑。传统上，英国是欧盟的一个“尴尬伙伴”（乔治，1990），在跨国民意调查中，英国作为一个整体对欧盟的依恋程度一直很低。首相卡梅隆已经承诺，如果保守党在2015年获胜，他将就他的国家是否继续保留欧盟成员国身份举行全民公投。与此同时，英国独立党（UKIP），一个公开的欧洲怀疑党，在2014年欧洲议会选举中成为英国最大的政党--拥有英国三分之一的席位。然而，民意调查显示，英国对欧盟成员国身份的支持率达到了20多年来的最高水平（例如，IPSOS MORI Political Monitor，2014年10月）。留在欧盟的支持率最高的是伦敦（66%）和苏格兰（60%）。这给任何有反欧盟愿望的寻求选票的政治行动者带来了一个关键的困境：在引发同一批公众的亲欧盟反弹之前，一个人向相对欧洲怀疑论的公众提出反欧盟愿景的方向前进了多少？了解个人对欧盟的依恋是如何形成的，以及背景如何与这种依恋相互作用并对其产生影响，是当代政治精英，政策制定者和公众相当感兴趣的问题。跨学科方法的最新进展为社会科学在解释和预测公众对不断变化的政治背景和政策环境的反应方面做出独特贡献提供了巨大潜力。存在大量的民意调查数据，但迄今为止，还没有广泛认可的间接政治指标或心理等同物，例如Yougov或Panelbase。利用广泛的现有材料（包括实验自我报告、生理（激素）测试数据、功能磁共振成像扫描的神经学数据和行为数据），申请人将解决与欧盟发展相关的公共知识差距。此外，在整个研究期间，将跟踪公众对欧盟相关事务的情绪变化。包括情感评级在内的Twitter分析将受到监控;照片，视频和葡萄树上传的可视化Twitter“画廊”将被分析，策划并使用storify提供;欧盟相关主题的情感反应的面部编码将与crowdEmotion http://www.crowdemotion.co.uk合作进行检查。
