| Vol. 8, Issue No. 2 of Politics, Culture and Socialization addresses the issue of methods for studies in politics, culture and socialization. Scholars from Belgium and Switserland in their articles present us with their novel methodological approaches. In the first article of this issue, Stéphanie De Munter and Philippe De Vries (University of Antwerp, Belgium) explain how they used Twitter Application Program Interface for investigating election tweets. From their article which is entitled “To Tweet or not to Tweet? An analysis of Twitter use during the 2014 Belgian elections” can be concluded that there is no significant association between the number of tweets and the number of preferential votes. The second article by Peter Rieker shows us how adults used problem-centered interviews for interviewing children. Samir Boureghda, Jurriaan Middelhoff, and Christ’l De Landtsheer (University of Antwerp, Belgium), finally, apply a method for profiling political leaders to the Italian politician Silvio Berlusconi. For the purpose of expending the Millon Inventory of Diagnostic Criteria (MIDC) to include a more potent assessment of narcissistic personality traits, NPI items were infused in the MIDC method as devised by Immelmann (2004). We leave the exciting conclusion from this article, which is entitled “Narcissism and Leadership: What we can learn from a case-study of Silvio Berlusconi” to the readers. |
