Ein Forscher über Merkmale von Altersgruppen: Generation Golf? Gibt es nicht (Interview mit Martin Schröder)

Martin Schröder glaubt nicht an Unterschiede zwischen den Generationen. Das angeblich Typische, sagt der Soziologe im Interview, seien meist Aussagen einer radikalen Minderheit oder Anekdoten.

When houses wear faces: Reverse correlation applied to architectural design

Reverse correlation (RC) is a data-driven method from social psychology that has been effectively shown to visualize the mental representations that humans hold regarding facial attributes. The method helps to understand what features are relevant in terms of the evaluation of faces, such as dominance or submissiveness. To the best of our knowledge, RC has solely been applied to faces within the area ...

Towards a psychology of solar energy: Analyzing the effects of the Big Five personality traits on household solar energy adoption in Germany

This research paper investigated the effect of consumers’ Big Five personality traits on the adoption of residential photovoltaic systems in Germany. To account for different types or groups of households, a multigroup structural equation model with N = 9,281 individuals was analyzed using data from a nationwide, representative household panel. It could be shown that the ways in which personality traits ...

Can Subjective Data Improve the Measurement of Inequality? A Multidimensional Index of Economic Inequality

Measuring multidimensional inequality by means of a univariate index requires weighting the dimensions of inequality. This paper explores the normative and empirical problems involved in measuring inequality by estimating hedonic weights on the basis of German microdata. In contrast to previous works, the perception of inequality, derived from subjective social status, has been used to estimate a weighting ...

Estimation of Linear models from Coarsened Observations: A Method of Moments Approach

In the last few decades, the study of ordinal data in which the variable of interest is not exactly observed but only known to be in a specific ordinal category has become important. In Psychometrics such variables are analysed under the heading of item response models (IRM). In Econometrics, subjective well-being (SWB) and self-assessed health (SAH) studies, and in marketing research, Ordered Probit, ...

Digitale Selbstwirksamkeit als Schlüssel zur Arbeitszufriedenheit im demographischen Wandel. Der Mediierende Effekt digitaler Selbstwirksamkeit auf die Beziehung zwischen Alter und Arbeitszufriedenheit. (Bachelor Thesis)

Die kontinuierliche Digitalisierung der Arbeitswelt führt zu immer schnelllebigeren und komplexeren Arbeitsumfeldern, welche auf der effektiven Nutzung von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IKT) beruhen. Arbeitsfelder transformieren und verdichten sich mit rasanter Geschwindigkeit. Parallel steigt das durchschnittliche Alter der arbeitnehmenden Population und die Arbeitszufriedenheit sinkt. ...

Is It Possible to Raise National Happiness?

We revisit the Easterlin paradox about the flatness of the happiness trend over the long run, in spite of sustained economic development. With a bounded scale that explicitly refers to “the best possible life for you” and “the worst possible life for you”, is it even possible to observe a rising trend in self-declared life satisfaction? We consider the possibility of rescaling, i.e. that the interpretation ...

Why Do Migrants Stay Unexpectedly? Misperceptions and Implications for Integration

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 ...

„Für die Zukunft erwarte ich eine noch schnellere und bessere Integration“: Herbert Brücker über die Fluchtmigration aus Afghanistan

Seit der Machtübernahme der Taliban versuchen mehr Menschen denn je, Afghanistan so schnell wie möglich zu verlassen. In einem aktuellen IAB-Forschungsbericht hat ein sechsköpfiges Forscherteam versucht abzuschätzen, wie sich dies auf die Migration aus Afghanistan und auf das Integrationsgeschehen in Deutschland auswirken dürfte. Die Redaktion des IAB-Forum hat bei Professor Herbert Brücker nachgefragt, ...
