Cultivated land transfer serves as an efficient way to mitigate the escalating issue of cultivated land abandonment due to labor migration driven by the urban-rural gap, while also ensuring national food security. Nevertheless, the impact of how urban-rural resident’ life quality gap (RLQG) affect cultivated land transfer decision-making remains unclear. This study developed a theoretical framework ...

Epigenetic clocks are emerging as promising tools for examining social and health disparities. These measures are typically developed using blood DNA methylation (DNAm) data. Cheek swabs, being less invasive than blood collection, can be used to assay buccal DNAm. This study examines how buccal-originated epigenetic clocks relate to socioeconomic status (SES) and health, and compares these associations ...

This study examines whether having daughters affects political preferences and if effects vary across European countries. We estimate effect sizes for 39 countries in the European Social Survey (n = 156,236) and aggregate estimates using random-effects meta-analysis, following a preregistered analysis plan. We find significant evidence that having daughters increases the preferences for gender equality ...

Reproducibility in social science is often hindered by inconsistent data preparation and limited transparency. The LabFam Individual Biographies (LIB) project addresses this challenge by providing open, cross-national harmonization of life-course histories from five long-running panels: Australia (HILDA), Germany (SOEP), Switzerland (SHP), the United Kingdom (BHPS/UKHLS), and the United States (PSID). ...

Individual differences in social traits such as the affiliation motive are closely linked to the formation and maintenance of social relationships. Most previous research focused on long-term characteristics or momentary assessments of social relationships (e.g., social network size, relationship quality), whereas theoretical accounts have emphasized the temporal dynamics, that is, how social interactions ...

Performance-contingent pay raises productivity, yet in the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) only about 16% of workers report receiving performance pay, with the incidence being roughly seven percentage points higher among university graduates than among non-graduates. This coexistence of low aggregate take-up and a strong skill gradient is puzzling. This paper accounts for these twin facts with a ...

FAIRness of research data, meaning that data are managed according to the principles of being Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable, has become a ubiquitous requirement in research data policies as well as in general guidelines for research data management. Meeting this requirement largely depends on the availability of rich and standardized DDI-metadata—based on the Data Documentation ...

Eine aktuelle Analyse des German Social Cohesion Panel (SCP) untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen regionalen Erfolgen der AfD und Sympathien gegenüber gesellschaftlichen Gruppen. Dabei zeigt sich deutlich: In Wahlkreisen mit hohem AfD-Stimmenanteil unterscheiden Menschen in ihren Sympathiebewertungen stärker zwischen verschiedenen kulturellen, regionalen oder sozio-demographischen Gruppen. Ein starkes ...

Educational systems are dynamic. They shape human capital, technological and societal progress, and also economic growth. Higher education, in particular, fosters innovation, with varying fields of study contributing differently to this process. Yet, despite its importance, no dataset has previously documented the evolution of academic fields across higher education institutions in a specific country. ...

Die deutsche Gesellschaft altert und immer mehr Menschen müssen Erwerbsarbeit und Pflege miteinander vereinbaren. Von den rund 5,7 Millionen Pflegenden waren im Jahr 2022 fast drei Viertel unter 66 Jahren alt und damit noch im erwerbsfähigen Alter. Dabei variieren die Pflegelasten nicht nur nach Alter, Geschlecht und Einkommen, sondern auch nach dem Erwerbsumfang. Wer im Jahr 2022 in Vollzeit arbeitete, ...
