Introduction: An ample scholarly literature on voluntary migration has shown that migration is a highly selective process, resulting in migrant populations that often differ significantly from their respective population of origin in terms of their socio-demographic characteristics. The literature attributes these differences to either migrants' active choice and agency in the migration decision ...

To better understand the effects of life events, research interest recently turned to the question of how life events are perceived (e.g., as positive, predictable, or controllable). However, research on this topic primarily focused on young adulthood, leaving it unclear whether and how the perception of life events varies across the life course. In this study, we examined the relationship between ...

This thesis deals with methods for the appropriate handling of non-ignorable missing data and sample selection, which are two common challenges of survey data analysis. Both issues can dramatically affect the quality of analysis results and lead to misleading inferences about the population. Therefore, in three different research articles, I treat methods for the performance of so-called sensitivity ...

This paper introduces the Open Data Format (ODF), a new, non-proprietary, multilingual, metadata enriched, and zip-compressed data format that meets the FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship. The data format is specified as a CSV file with the raw data and an XML file containing the metadata both compressed into a zip file with the .zip extension. Data files can be ...

Research has shown poorer health and higher prevalence in mental distress of single mothers compared with partnered mothers. The aim of this paper is to focus on single mothers’ health and to highlight heterogeneity among single mothers. Both, interindividual and intraindividual variability of single mothers will be considered in this study. We will analyze therefore empirically determinants affecting ...

Abstract This paper analyzes whether Christian moralities and rules formed differently by Catholics and Protestants impact the likelihood of households becoming over-indebted. We find that over-indebtedness is lower in regions in which Catholics outweigh Protestants, indicating that Catholics' forgiveness culture and stricter enforcement of rules by Protestants serve as explanations for our results. ...

Background The harmful mental health effects of perceived discrimination for migrant populations are well established. The potential buffering effect of regional-level social capital, however, has not previously been explored. Methods Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP; 2009–2018) we apply multilevel models to assess the effect of frequent or infrequent perceived discrimination on ...

The aim of the current study was to examine whether self-control skills in childhood moderate the association between very preterm birth (<32 weeks of gestational age) and emotional problems and peer victimization in adolescence. We used data from four prospective cohort studies, which included 29,378 participants in total (N = 645 very preterm; N = 28,733 full-term). Self-control was mother-reported ...

This study investigates researcher variability in computational reproduction, an activity for which it is least expected. Eighty-five independent teams attempted numerical replication of results from an original study of policy preferences and immigration. Reproduction teams were randomly grouped into a ‘transparent group’ receiving original study and code or ‘opaque group’ receiving only a method ...
