To understand whether the effect of interviewer experience on duration is driven by ...

According to theories of cumulative (dis-)advantage, inequality increases over the life course. Labour market research has seized this argument to explain the increasing economic inequality as people age. However, evidence for cumulative (dis-)advantage in subjective well-being remains ambiguous, and a prominent study from the United States has reported contradictory results. Here, we reconcile research ...

In a recent genome-wide association study (GWAS), three polymorphisms (rs3756290, RAPGEF6; rs2075677, CSE1L; rs4958581, NMUR2) were suggested as potentially being related to subjective-well-being and life satisfaction. Additionally, associations between the 5-HTTLPR polymorphism (serotonin transporter) and subjective well-being have been reported in other previous studies. In the current study, we ...

In this article, we introduce a new, highly flexible model to analyze distributions with heaps and censoring points, which we call the generalized Craggit model. Distributions with heaps and censoring points can be found in many social science applications. For example, such distributions can be the result of sequential or multistep rating processes. Our model is a combination of a Craggit model and ...
