Objective. Discrimination is an important determinant of health, and its experience may contribute to the emergence of health inequalities between immigrants and nonimmigrants. We examine pathways between perceived discrimination and health among immigrants in Germany: (1) whether perceptions of discrimination predict selfreported mental and physical health (SF-12), or (2) whether poor mental and physical ...

Methods: ...

This study analyzes the causal impact of the 9/11 terror attacks on individual political orientation and political support intensity using the German Socio-Economic Panel 1999–2003. Exploiting survey interview timing in 2001 for identification and controlling for unobserved individual heterogeneity, I find 9/11 to have increased overall political mobilization. While there is no indication of a considerable ...

A lack of cultural integration is often blamed for hindering immigrant families’ economic progression. This paper explores whether there are in fact long-term consequences by investigating intergenerational effects of parental ethnic identity on the next generation’s human capital accumulation. Results based on longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) indicate a positive role of ...

The 9/11 terror attacks are likely to have induced an increase in anti-immigrant and anti-foreigner sentiments, not only among US residents but also beyond US borders. Using unique longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel and exploiting exogenous variation in interview timing throughout 2001, I find that the 9/11 events caused an immediate shift of around 40 percent of one within-standard ...

Mit Hilfe von repräsentativen Längsschnittprofilen (154 ≤ n ≤ 589) wird untersucht, wie weit Schulleistungen und Persönlichkeitseigenschaften mit dem Berufserfolg von Hochschulabsolventen zusammenhängen. Als einziger Big-Five-Faktor zeigt Gewissenhaftigkeit eine substanzielle prädiktive Validität hinsichtlich der Arbeitszufriedenheit zwei Jahre nach Ende des Studiums. Bei der Prognose des Einkommens ...

Der Lehrerberuf wird mit viel Freizeit, aber auch mit einer hohen Stressbelastung assoziiert. Bisherige Befunde zu Belastungen im Lehrerberuf sind widerspru¨chlich und weisen Interpretationsgrenzen auf. Basierend auf den repräsentativen Daten des Sozio-Oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) kontrastierten wirArbeitszufriedenheit und -belastung von 425 Lehrkräften mit Vergleichsgruppen anderer Berufe (u. a. Erzieher, ...

Consequently, the development of personality and subjective well-being during service was investigated using representative population data from the German Socio-Economic Panel. In line with previous findings, men who chose military service revealed descriptively ...

Über Rufbereitschaft und Arbeit auf Abruf liegen bisher wenig belastbare Erkenntnisse vor. Kennzeichnend für beide Arbeitszeitformen ist, dass die Beschäftigten durch einen Ruf aus ihrer unbezahlten Freizeit heraus die Arbeit aufnehmen. Dadurch werden Erholungsphasen unterbrochen und möglicherweise Stress ausgelöst. Mit Hilfe der Daten des SOEP Pretest 2010 können wir erstmals die Verbreitung von Abrufarbeit ...
