In the context of the present thesis, an instrument for the assessment of subclinical stress symptoms was developed and investigated. For this purpose, the exposure to stress, other socio-economic risk factors, and childhood adversities were investigated on the basis of representative samples both of the general population as well as of forensic patient populations. Furthermore, subclinical stress ...

Over the last several decades, a large number of developed countries has not only witnessed a downturn in civic engagement, but has also seen the breakdown of traditional family structures. Despite these coinciding trends, Putnam argues in Bowling alone (2000) that none of the major observed declines in civic engagement can be accounted for by the decline in the traditional family. In this paper, we ...

Job satisfaction has been found to increase with age. However, we still have a very limited understanding of how job satisfaction changes as people approach retirement. This is important as the years before retirement present specific challenges for older workers. We employed a time-to-retirement approach to investigate (i) mean levels of change in job satisfaction in the decade before retirement, ...

This field experiment investigates the causal impact of mothers' perceptions of gender norms on their employment attitudes and labor-supply expectations. We provide mothers of young children in Germany with information about the prevailing gender norm regarding maternal employment in their city. At baseline, over 70% of mothers incorrectly perceive this gender norm as too conservative. Our randomized ...

Mit dem Zensus 2022 liegen erstmals seit 2011 wieder verlässliche regionale Daten zum Wohneigentum in Deutschland vor. Der Zeitraum zwischen den beiden Zensuserhebungen entspricht nahezu deckungsgleich dem Immobilienmarktboom der 2010er-Jahre in Deutschland. Dies nutzt die vorliegende Studie, um anhand der Zensusdaten (ergänzt durch weitere Regionaldaten wie Preise, wirtschaftliche und demografische ...

Increasing global policy interest in measuring and improving population wellbeing has prompted academic investigations into the dynamics of lifespan life satisfaction. Yet little research has assessed the complete adolescent age range, although it harbours developmental changes that could affect wellbeing far into adulthood. This study investigates how life satisfaction develops throughout the whole ...

Exposure to childhood poverty increases the likelihood of adult poverty. However, past research offers conflicting accounts of cross-national variation in the strength of the intergenerational persistence of poverty and the mechanisms through which it is channeled. This study investigates differences in intergenerational poverty in the United States (U.S.), Australia, Denmark, Germany, and United Kingdom ...

Climate change is one of the central challenges for contemporary societies. It is widely discussed as triggering “climate anxiety,” and as dampening the desire to reproduce, particularly among young people. Conversely, parenthood could affect people’s attitudes and behaviors toward the environment. Empirically, however, little is known about this potentially reciprocal relationship due to the lack ...

Previous research has documented that sexual orientation relates to educational attainment, and that it might do so differently for men and women. In this paper, we investigate to what extent sexual orientation moderates the relationship between social origin and educational attainment and whether the educational premium among LGB people might be concentrated among individuals from lower socioeconomic ...

Empirical evidence suggests that a large proportion of immigrants who initially intended to stay temporarily in the destination country end up staying permanently, which may lead to suboptimal integration. We study systematic causes of unexpected staying that originate in migrant misperceptions. Our framework contains uncertainty about long-term wages, endogenous integration and savings in the short ...
