The dynamics of household location preferences in Germany

Inspired by the literature on social polarisation and residential segregation we draw on a probabilistic approach to pursue the evolution of household location preferences. Using microdata from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) for the period 1984–2020 we demonstrate that structural economic change was accompanied by an increasing preference for residence in compact housing close to urban centres. ...

Fathers’ sleep in the first 24 months postpartum: A systematic review and meta-analysis of global data

Maternal sleep is significantly disrupted in the postpartum period, but changes in paternal sleep are less established. Here, we systematically review and meta-analyze available data on paternal sleep in the first 24months post birth, including self-report and objectively measured sleep outcomes. Scopus, PsycINFO, and PubMed were searched for original research articles published until end August 2024. ...

Actor-Driven Risk Factors of Publication Bias: Opening the File Drawer of Two Probabilistic Panel Surveys

Science has long struggled with unsuccessful replications and reproductions, a challenge that raises questions about the robustness and credibility of research findings. One potential contributing factor is selective reporting or nonpublication of certain results based on their direction or strength, leading to publication bias. To better understand its extent and risk factors, we examined 178 successful ...

Social inequalities at the transition to higher education: the role of personality for graduates from vocational and general schools

Previous research has shown that social inequalities in the transition to higher education are a persistent phenomenon in Germany.

However, research is scarce about how social background effects may differ for graduates from vocational ...

Echoes of the past: The enduring impact of communism on contemporary freedom of speech values

Free speech is essential for informed decision-making, government efficacy, and fostering innovation in liberal societies. But what promotes or hinders freedom of speech values? Exploiting the natural experiment of German separation and later reunification, we show that living under communism has had lasting effects on free speech opinions, and the convergence process has been slow. East Germans are ...

Gendered pathways to wealth? The self-assessed relevance of different accumulation channels among women and men across the wealth distribution

Wealth inequality results from stratified access to accumulation opportunities, relating to differences in income, financial behavior, and transfers. Yet, it remains unclear whether these wealth accumulation channels differ in their perceived relevance for women and men along the wealth distribution. A deeper understanding of such perceptions is crucial for explaining attitudes toward inequality, shaping ...

Roma Eterna? Roman rule explains regional well-being divides in Germany

In light of persistent regional inequalities in adaptive outcomes such as health, well-being, and related personality traits, psychological research is increasingly adopting a historical perspective to understand the deeper roots of these patterns. In this study, we examine the role of ancient cultures, specifically the impact of Roman civilization around two thousand years ago, on the macro-psychological ...
