People are often advised to engage in social contact to cope with the experience of loneliness and improve well-being. But are the moments of loneliness actually more bearable when spent in other people’s company? In this research, we proposed and tested two conflicting theoretical accounts regarding the role of social contact: social contact is associated with a stronger (the amplifying account) or ...

Work-related internal migration can be associated with various labor market benefits such as improved career opportunities. However, benefits can be offset by specific burdens (relocation stress) which, in turn, can lead to adverse health outcomes. These burdens include organizing the move, difficulties in maintaining social relationships, homesickness or feelings of displacement. However, there is ...

Im internationalen Vergleich zeigte sich Deutschland bisher als eine weitestgehend durchlässige Gesellschaft mit guten Aufstiegsmöglichkeiten für breite Bevölkerungsschichten und einer unterdurchschnittlichen Ungleichheit in den verfügbaren Haushaltseinkommen. Im Jahr 2018 überraschte die OECD jedoch mit dem ungewöhnlichen Ergebnis, dass Deutschland eines der undurchlässigsten Industrieländer sei. ...

In Western societies, secularization in the sense of declining individual religiosity is mainly caused by cohort replacement. Every cohort is somewhat less religious than its predecessor, indicating that religious transmission is incomplete. Our aim in this article is to establish, describe and explain this lack of religious transmission in West Germany, comparing parents’ and children’s level of attendance ...

Cross-country research argues that the design of welfare states and social protection systems shapes the intergenerational transmission of inequality. Studies that examine this relationship within a country are however lacking from the literature. Based on a quasi-experimental research design using difference-in-differences estimation and data from the Socio-Economic Panel, I analyse whether the educational ...

Do violent conflicts increase religiosity? This study draws on evidence from a large-scale survey on refugees in Germany linked with data on time-varying conflict intensity in refugees’ birth regions prior to the survey interview. The results show that the greater the number of conflict-induced fatalities in the period before the interview, the more often refugees pray. The relationship between conflict ...

However, the developing relations between mathematical skills, language, and working memory starting at preschool age and evolving into primary school age are not well understood. Adopting an empirically validated analysis model, the present study examines in ...

Die Wohnkosten sind in den letzten Jahren stärker gestiegen als die Alterseinkommen. Die Wohnkostenbelastung müsste somit bei den älteren Haushalten gestiegen sein. Auf Basis des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (1996–2018) gehen wir den Fragen nach, wie sich die relative Wohnkostenbelastung seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre bei älteren Menschen entwickelt hat, und für welche Gruppen älterer Haushalte die hohen ...

In purchase behavior research, the personal dispositions of consumers can play a decisive role. This becomes relevant especially in very narrow target groups when socio-demographic constraints are very similar. In the present study, three types of continuity and change in the Big Five personality traits are investigated. While the Big Five personality traits have been extensively studied at the population ...
