Bosch-Domènech et al. (2014) reported a negative association between 2D:4D, a suggested marker of prenatal testosterone exposure, and the Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) in a sample of 623 university students. In this pre-registered study, we test whether we can replicate their findings in a general population sample of over 2,500 individuals from Germany. We find no statistically significant association ...

Zudem legen Sparende heute mehrheitlich deutlich weniger Geld zur Seite als im Vorjahr. Doch nicht nur die Sparmöglichkeiten gehen zurück: Bereits jetzt haben 61 Prozent ebenso ihre Ausgaben aufgrund der gestiegenen Energiepreise stark oder sehr stark reduziert. ...

Mit der geplanten Entlastung für Haushalte, die mit nicht leitungsbezogenen Brennstoffen wie Öl oder Holzpellets heizen, schließt die Bundesregierung eine bestehende Lücke im Kreis der Hilfeempfänger. Während die Abschlagszahlung und Preisbremse für Gas- und Fernwärmekunden überwiegend Mieterhaushalten in städtischen Regionen zugutekommt, werden durch die neue Hilfe verstärkt Haushalte in ländlichen ...

The thesis combines four papers that introduce a coherent framework based on MERFs for the estimation of spatially disaggregated economic and inequality indicators and associated uncertainties. Chapter 1 focusses on flexible domain prediction using MERFs. We discuss characteristics of semi-parametric point and uncertainty estimates for domain-specific means. Extensive model- and design-based simulations ...

The loss of employment is an event that interferes with the lives of everyone affected, causes stress, and can have a negative impact on their health. Meta-analyses show that unemployed people have a worse state of health and a mortality risk that is at least 1.6 times higher than those who are employed. Unemployment is associated with a lower mental and physical health status and, in some cases, with ...

Personality traits of romantic partners may be part of the puzzle of how romantic relationships are related to mental health. We investigated the role of narcissistic admiration and rivalry in this context. Positive associations of admiration and negative associations of rivalry with the mental health of individuals and their partners were hypothesized. Furthermore, we expected admiration to be particularly ...

Individuals differ in how they react to unemployment. Yet, research on sources of interindividual differences in unemployment-related well-being changes is still in its infancy. Using monthly panel data of initially employed German jobseekers, this study examined whether the six trait-like dimensions of psychological well-being (PWB, e.g., autonomy, environmental mastery) buffer the negative effects ...

For a long-time, public sector employees have been described as “pathologically” risk averse. Research suggests that a high level of risk aversion in the public sector workforce may lead to undesirable consequences such as hindering reforms and innovations. It is therefore important to understand the factors and mechanisms that could change the level of risk aversion in the public sector. Nevertheless, ...

This paper investigates the persistence and determinants of second job holding in Germany, especially marginal second jobs, following a legislative change allowing extensive dispensation of marginal second jobs from taxes and social security contributions. I document an upward trend in second job holding driven in particular by women. Moreover I find strong evidence for the persistence of second job ...
