Our empirical analysis highlights that a direct link between impatience and the support for right-wing populism remains even after controlling for life outcomes, such as ...

  • Sexual jokes and conversations at the workplace and their relation to employee well-being: Results from a longitudinal study

  • Neuroticism and the sales profession

    While neuroticism is known to change throughout people’s lives, the specific causes of these changes remain poorly understood. One underexplored question is whether specific professions and associated job characteristics can foster neuroticism.

By applying a stepwise linear regression on data ...

  • Validating an Index of Selection Bias for Proportions in Non-Probability Samples

    Summary Fast online surveys without sampling frames are becoming increasingly important in survey research. Their recruitment methods result in non-probability samples. As the mechanism of data generation is always unknown in such samples, the problem of non-ignorability arises making vgeneralisation of calculated statistics to the population of interest highly questionable. Sensitivity analyses provide ...

  • Bridging distance: Transnational and local family ties in refugees’ social support networks

    This study examines the familial ties in the social support network of refugees in Germany. It investigates whether distance to family plays a role in the provision of emotional and informational support and how this relationship is moderated by social network services (SNS). Using data from the IAB-BAMF-SOEP Survey of Refugees (N = 5237), the paper provides evidence for a family-centred network. Increasing ...

  • Personal and Social Worries Associated with the Likelihood of Having Children

Drawing on the German Socio-Economic Panel Study, this study examined the relationship between worries about various personal and social issues and the likelihood of having ...
