The article focuses on two questions: how much does crisis exposure affect democratic legitimacy attitudes? And what is the role played by social mobility perspective on this effect? The findings, based on a sample of the Life in Transition Survey II, show that economic crisis exposure significantly affects political legitimacy attitudes. The results confirm that higher crisis exposure is associated with lower legitimacy. Additionally, the present research rules out the possibility that crisis exposure affects attitudes in a specific way, depending on the expected mobility valence. While replicating previous evidence supporting the negative democratic effect of adverse economic changes, the current research sheds light on the critical role that the future perspective plays in determining this effect.</span><br />Pasquale CollocaCoordinamento SIBAarticleeconomic crisispolitical attitudespolitical legitimacyexpected mobilityPolitical science (General)JA1-92ENPartecipazione e Conflitto, Vol 10, Iss 3, Pp 983-1004 (2018)
