Abstract

What are society’s views on the drivers of religious extremism and other types of political violence? We address this question by conducting a large-N vignette experiment in Kosovo. We expose a random sample of the population to hypothetical situations that describe other people’s engagement in religious extremism, ethnic riots, and violent protest. We find that frustrated aspirations of vignette characters—signaled as a mismatch between the characters’ education and their labor market outcomes—are associated with increased expectations of engagement in all types of political violence. This result holds for Muslim Albanians and Christian Serbs.
