Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The dominant approach to studying levels of support for the European Union has been to look at individuals' rational appraisals of their potential to benefit from integration. However, this approach rests on the strong ssumption that individuals are fully rational and can adequately process abstract information about supranational institutions. I argue that this assumption is too strong and offer an alternative perspective for understanding how citizens, when called upon to do so, evaluate the European Union. I argue first that individuals who lack the cognitive capacity to process information about the EU evaluate its institutions differently from those who do have the necessary skills. I also argue that the complexity of issues relating to integration causes many citizens, when forced to express an opinion on the EU, to draw on their experiences with more proximate institutions in their home countries. I find support for the hypotheses that the cognitively sophisticated are more likely to express specific support for the EU, as are those who give positive evaluations of their domestic institutions.
