Dabei geht es nicht nur um eine längere Wochenarbeitszeit für Vollzeitbeschäftigte, sondern auch um eine Verlängerung der Arbeitszeit bei Teilzeit oder bestenfalls deren Überführung in Vollzeit. Ein Potenzial für eine derartige Arbeitszeitverlängerung ...

Background Previous research focused on men's gross wage marital premium to explore whether selection or specialization explains premiums. However, gross wages do not reflect disposable resources because taxes still have to be deducted. As the tax treatment varies across countries ...

Wie blicken Journalistinnen und Journalisten auf die Welt? Eine vergleichende empirische Analyse von Persönlichkeitsmerkmalen und politischen Einstellungen auf Basis des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP)

Diese Fragen untersuchen wir für Deutschland auf Basis von Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP). Wir nutzen diese große repräsentative ...

Younger Than Ever? Subjective Age Is Becoming Younger and Remains More Stable in Middle-Age and Older Adults Today

Little is known about historical shifts in subjective age (i.e., how old individuals feel). Moving beyond the very few time-lagged cross-sectional cohort comparisons, we examined historical shifts in within-person trajectories of subjective age from midlife to advanced old age. We used cohort-comparative longitudinal data from middle-age and older adults in the German Ageing Survey (N = 14,928; ~50% ...

Der Verzicht auf Grundsicherungsleistungen: Kalkül, Stigma und soziale Einbettung

Grundsicherungsleistungen nach SGB II und SGB XII werden häufig nicht beantragt.

Identifiziert werden verschiedene Mechanismen, die zur Nichtinanspruchnahme führen: Kosten-Nutzen-Erwägungen, ...

My Home is My Burden? Homeownership, Financial Burden and Subjective Well-Being in a Unitary Rental Market

This study investigates the relationship between homeownership and subjective well-being. Using long panel data from Germany, we find supporting evidence for greater life satisfaction among owners compared to renters only when omitting housing characteristics. This effect reduces by more than half when comparing only owners with a mortgage to renters. Examining a variety of domain satisfactions, we ...

Are Some People More Consistent? Examining the Stability and Underlying Processes of Personality Profile Consistency

Personality traits are relatively consistent across time, as indicated by test–retest correlations. However, ipsative consistency approaches suggest there are individual differences in this consistency. Despite this, it is unknown whether these differences are due to person-level characteristics (i.e., some people are just more consistent) or exogenous forces (i.e., lack of consistency is due to environmental ...
