Recently, Anton Ekman, defended his licensed psychologist thesis at the University of Gothenburg. The thesis explored if affective polarization in Sweden had changed as a consequence of Covid-19. The thesis can be found here (only in Swedish). He found that left-wing oriented individuals had increased in affective polarization from 2019 before Covid19 to during Covid19 (August, 2020), while right-wing oriented people had become less polarized. The results are discussed in relation to the Swedish approach to handling Covid-19, and the political landscape in Sweden.
