Jesper Eklund is a project assistant at \u00c5bo Akademi University. He is involved in opinion research and projects researching political polarization. Other research interests include the study of social trust amongst Swedish-speaking Finns.<\/p>\n

What is your role in this project?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I act as a project assistant, which means I help with research, communication, and administrative tasks within the project. I participate in designing the studies and assisting in laboratory experiments.<\/p>\n

What do you find interesting about the research of emotions?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think the study of emotion or affect is an interesting area of research because it challenges the idea of the completely rational citizen. Emotions are and have always been a central part of politics. I also think we have seen a rise in the use of emotive language in politics in the last decades.<\/p>\n

What do you do in your spare time?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like to stay active, which usually means working out in the gym or playing football. When I\u2019m relaxing I like playing video games, watching movies or sports, especially Formula 1.<\/p>\n

The project is funded by the Research Council of Finland and carried out at \u00c5bo Akademi University.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
