How do life events affect life satisfaction? Previous studies focused on a single event or separate analyses of several events. However, life events are often grouped non-randomly over the lifespan, occur in close succession, and are causally linked, raising the question of how to best analyze them jointly. Here, we used representative German data (SOEP; N = 40,121 individuals; n = 41,402 event occurrences) ...

This study examines how individuals develop distinct attitude patterns over the life course, with a particular focus on the role of educational attainment in shaping trajectories. It differentiates the effects of aging stemming from critical life events from age group differences resulting from observing different people at various life stages (i.e., compositional effects). I formulate propositions ...

Education is perhaps the most generally used independent variable in the fields of public opinion and vote choice. Yet the extent to which a person is educated is just one way in which education may affect political beliefs and behavior. In this article, we suggest that the substantive field of education has an independent and important role to play over and above level. Using cross-national evidence ...

Previous research attributes this phenomenon to the legacies of socialism, emphasizing the macro-socialization processes in education and civil society. This study introduces a novel perspective by highlighting the significance of limited interaction with the non-socialist states, proposing that such interactions could have ...

The data were collected in Great Britain in 2018, using the Innovation Panel of the UK Household Longitudinal Study and the Lightspeed online access panel. Respondents in each panel were invited to participate in a month-long study, reporting all their daily ...

This article analyzes whether response patterns in surveys differ between the general population, regular immigrants, and recent refugees. Analyses show that the address quality of refugees contacted in the first wave of a panel study is worse than that of the general population, but of a similar quality to that of other recent immigrants. Once contacted, people in refugee households are more willing ...

We address the challenges and implications of ensuring fairness in algorithmic decision-making (ADM) practices related to ethnicity. Expanding beyond the U.S.-centric approach to race, we provide an overview of ethnic classification schemes in European countries and emphasize how the distinct approaches to ethnicity in Europe can impact fairness assessments in ADM. Drawing on large-scale German survey ...

Gender differences in risk attitudes are frequently observed and the scientific community widely agrees upon their existence. However, recent literature has challenged the notion that the gender gap is ubiquitous. In this literature review, the recent literature is examined with the purpose of verifying the existence of gender differences in risk attitudes and then examining the determinants of the ...

The German “Tax-Reform 2000” involved a strong reduction in the progressivity of labor income taxation. It led to a rise in overall labor income, but also increased income inequality. Utilizing data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP. 2016. Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), Data for Years 1984–2016, Version 33) for the years 1998–2007, we employ a general equilibrium framework à la Antràs et al. ...
