The conceptual and empirical overlap of grandiose narcissism and self-esteem is part of ongoing debate. Whereas cross-sectional findings suggest a moderate correlation between both constructs, evidence on the longitudinal relationship of narcissism and self-esteem is still lacking. Using data of two longitudinal studies consisting of more than 10,000 participants in adulthood, the aim of the present ...

Human feelings measured in integers (my happiness is an 8 out of 10, my pain 2 out of 6) have no objective scientific basis. They are “made-up” numbers on a scale that does not exist. Yet such data are extensively collected—despite criticism from, especially, economists—by governments and international organizations. We examine this paradox. We draw upon longitudinal information on the feelings and ...

The first chapter is a theoretical and empirical study of the role of firm-specific labor supply in amplifying business cycles. The second chapter focuses on measuring the aggregate labor supply elasticity at the extensive margin, using a novel survey ...

Pre-vaccine SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence data from Germany are scarce outside hotspots, and socioeconomic disparities remained largely unexplored.

Self-collected oral-nasal ...

Upon arrival to a new country, many immigrants face job downgrading, a phenomenon describing workers being in jobs far below where they would be assigned based on their skills. Downgrading leads to immigrants receiving lower returns to the same skills than natives. The level of downgrading could depend on the type of immigrant and numerous factors. This study examines the determinants of skill downgrading ...

We distinguish between degrees from academic universities, degrees from universities of applied sciences, and the master craftsman\craftswoman certificate. The educational reference category is a standard degree within the German vocational education and training system. Based on samples of male ...

Important confounders include family structure, parental separation, and socio-economic status. This study uses data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) to ...

Der Vergleich der deutschen Durchschnittsfamilie im Jahr 2020 mit der fünfzig Jahre früher lässt die Unterschiede deutlich zu Tage treten. Modernen Familien sind diverser und weniger stabil, Fertilitäts und Heiratsraten sind gesunken, die meisten Mütter arbeiten zumindest in Teilzeit und Ansichten über Geschlechterrollen sind zunehmend egalitärer. In Deutschland stieg das Alter der Frauen bei der ersten ...

Hintergrund: Eine hinreichend hohe Immunität gegen COVID-19 wird offenbar nur durch freiwillige Impfungen in Deutschland nicht erreicht werden. Eine allgemeine Impfpflicht wird daher weiterhin erwogen. Wir präsentieren Ergebnisse zu ihrer Akzeptanz in der Bevölkerung Deutschlands und berichten, wie Zustimmung und Ablehnung begründet wird und sich nach Bevölkerungsgruppen unterscheidet. Methode: Wir ...

Smartphones are ubiquitous today, yet opinions differ as to whether the benefits or downsides of smartphone use predominate. Using the age-representative ‘Innovation Sample’ of the German Socio-Economic Panel study (N = 5,131, age M = 52.26, 17–96 years), this study examined associations between self-reported smartphone use and three life domains: individual well-being (psychological well-being, sleep); ...
