On the other hand, “participation in essentialized spaces versus glocal spaces” is also associated negatively with the dependent variable. This means that increased “participation in essentialized spaces” is associated with decreased “mobility of mind”, whereas increased “participation in glocal spaces” is associated with an increased mobility of mind. Therefore, the higher the degree of participation in glocal spaces, the higher the degree of mobility of mind. 2.2.9. Alignments and misalignments in the public spaces Alignment/misalignment was measured along two major dimensions. The first dimension relates to how each channel or public space represents, articulates and voices respondents’ preferences about general policy issues – such as taxes, salaries, unemployment, human rights, welfare policies, security, relations with other countries, etc (a battery comprising 26 items). The second dimension is about how belonging issues are dealt with in different public spaces – issues such as freedom of belonging to a group, freedom of expressing different belongings, visibility of different belongings, etc (a battery comprising 22 items). The respondents were asked to rank the different public arenas with respect to how they experience these issues are dealt with in each public space. The two batteries were repeated for each of the four types of public spaces (numeric, corporate-plural, essentialized, and glocal). In the following analysis, the intermediate levels of analysis where we summarized these data are not reported. If it should be mentioned briefly, the summarizing analyses involved qualitative interpretation, quantification, and factorization. Analyzing and interpreting each respondents’ responses to the respective questionnaire items, together with their statements during the in-depth interviews, we ranked alignments/misalignments between each respondent’s preferences and their perceptions of the structural/institutional capability of each public channel/space along a 5-point Likert scale. This resulted in eight summary variables – four measuring (mis)alignment concerning general policy issues and four measuring (mis)alignment concerning belonging policy issues. Table 12 illustrates the results from a CATPCA-procedure applied to these eight variables. 86

Variable Principal Normalization used. 2. 2 dimension solution imposed. 3. Ranking dicretization used. 4. Total accounted variance is 70,4% (rounded). The dimensions uncovered with the CATPCA-procedure are both bipolar. They indicate diverse types of alignments and misalignments. The first dimension in Table 12 indicates the presence of (1) a connection between the national (numeric and corporate channels) and glocal spaces, (2) a detachment between essentialized and other spaces. The second dimension indicates (1) a connection between essentialized and national spaces and (2) a detachment between glocal spaces and all the other public spaces. On the other hand, these two dimensions can also be used to measure the degree of alignments and misalignments. Thus, in the following analysis, these two dimensions are used to determine both the types and the degrees of alignments and misalignments. The first dimension (horizontal axis) separates between essentialized spaces and other spaces. Respondents who score low on this dimension are content with how their preferences are represented, articulated and voiced in essentialized public spaces. The low-scorers are at the same time discontent with the other channels/spaces. Those who 87
