Re-Partnering and Single mothers' Mental Health and Life Satisfaction Trajectories

Single mothers are a particularly disadvantaged group in terms of their mental health and life satisfaction. While it is plausible that re-partnering could compensate for these disadvantages by providing social, emotional, and financial resources, the evidence is inconclusive.

Discounting Behavior in Problem Gambling

Problem gamblers discount delayed rewards more rapidly than do non-gambling controls. Understanding this impulsivity is important for developing treatment options. In this article, we seek to make two contributions: First, we ask which of the currently debated economic models of intertemporal choice (exponential versus hyperbolic versus quasi-hyperbolic) provides the best description of gamblers’ discounting ...

This study investigates the development of life goals across the adult life span with a focus on differences regarding gender, parental status, education, ...

Künstliche Intelligenz in Deutschland: Erwerbstätige wissen oft nicht, dass sie mit KI-basierten Systemen arbeiten

Der Begriff der Künstlichen Intelligenz (KI) bleibt im Arbeitsalltag für Erwerbstätige oftmals undurchschaubar. Das zeigt eine Auswertung der Verbreitung von KI in der Arbeitswelt in Deutschland mithilfe des neuen Datenmoduls des SOEP-IS zum Thema Digitalisierung. Fragt man die Erwerbstätigen direkt nach der Nutzung von digitalen Systemen mit „Künstlicher Intelligenz“, geben rund 20 Prozent an, solche ...
