Immigrants’ First Names and Perceived Discrimination: A Contribution to Understanding the Integration Paradox

Many studies have shown that better-educated immigrants more frequently report perceived discrimination in the host country than less-educated immigrants.

Is Healthy Neuroticism Associated with Chronic Conditions? A Coordinated Integrative Data Analysis

We further investigate, whether both genders benefit equally from licensing in terms of wages. Finally, we study whether both women’s ...

Web-Based and Mixed-Mode Cognitive Large-Scale Assessments in Higher Education: An Evaluation of Selection Bias, Measurement Bias, and Prediction Bias

Abnehmende Bildungsungleichheiten? Der Einfluss von sozialer und ethnischer Herkunft im Bildungsverlauf

Das deutsche allgemeinbildende Schulsystem mit seiner frühen Stratifizierung (Allmendinger 1989) wird als relativ rigide angesehen und es wird häufig angenommen, dass die im Anschluss an die Grundschule gewählte Schulart den weiteren Bildungsweg größtenteils vorbestimmt. Doch gilt dies auch heute noch, nachdem seit einigen Jahren der Besuch von Fachoberschulen und Berufs- oder Fachgymnasien stark angestiegen ...

Die drei Arenen der neuen Ungleichheitskonflikte. Eine sozialstrukturelle Positionsbestimmung der Einstellungen zu Umverteilung, Migration und sexueller Diversität

In vielen westlichen Gesellschaften wird die Verteilungsfrage wieder stärker diskutiert.

In den wissenschaftlichen und publizistischen Debatten ist häufig von einer neuen Lagerbildung die Rede, bei der sich die bessergestellten ...
