Exploring the Impact of School-To-Work Transitions on Health-Related Quality of Life in Emerging Adulthood Using the German Socioeconomic Panel (GSOEP)
Despite the increasing depression diagnoses and the frequent origin of later-life (mental) illnesses during this period, surprisingly scarce research for Germany addresses emerging adulthood, and particularly health implications regarding social milestones like school-to-work transitions. To address this gap, we aim to investigate the relationship between school-to-work transitions and Health-related Quality of Life (HRQOL), using data from the G…

Parental status homogeneity in social networks
Previous studies find that members of social networks tend to influence each other regarding the likelihood and timing of births. However, less evidence exists as to whether and how individuals actively select their network ties according to parental statu
Aufsichtsrechtliche Rahmenbedingungen für Telematik-Tarife in der Kfz-Versicherung
Im Zuge der voranschreitenden Digitalisierung beschäftigt sich die deutsche Versicherungswirtschaft seit einigen Jahren mit der Idee von Versicherungstarifen, bei denen das Risikoverhalten der versicherten Personen mittels technischer Hilfsmittel laufend überwacht und bei der Bemessung der Versicherungsprämie berücksichtigt wird. Obwohl solche sogenannten Telematik-Tarife insbesondere in der Kfz-Versicherung in den letzten Jahren vermehrt angebot…
Adult children's estrangement from parents in Germany
Objective To analyze the prevalence and predictors of children's estrangement from noncoresident biological mothers and fathers during young and middle adulthood. Background Intergenerational relationships exhibit considerable heterogeneity and need not always be close or intact. However, despite its potentially far‐reaching impact on the entire family system, only very few quantitative studies have been conducted yet investigating adult parent–c…

Revisiting marital health protection
Objective This study analyzes the dynamics of health associated with the transition to first marriage and remaining in marriage up to 24 years in order to estimate the protective effect of heterosexual marriage (compared to being never married, including the unpartnered, partnered, and cohabiting) on physical, mental, and self‐rated health. Background Past research produced inconclusive results on marital health protection. This study advances th…
Socio-Economic Family Background and Adult Children's Health in Germany
This study examines consequences of parental education for adult children's physical and mental health using panel data from the German Socio-Economic Panel study. Based on random-effects growth curve models (N = 15,144 West German respondents born between 1925 and 1998 aged 18-80), we estimate gender-, age-, and cohort-specific trajectories of physical and mental health components of the SF-12 questionnaire for low and high parental education me…
Zum Zusammenwirken von Normen und Anreizen bei Fertilitätsentscheidungen
Die Erklärung des Geburtenverhaltens und seines Wandels ist seit jeher ein primäres Anliegen sozialdemographischer Forschung. In der Literatur wurden bislang zwei Arten von Einflussgrößen in mikrosoziologischen Erklärungen von Fertilitätsentscheidungen berücksichtigt: Zum einen ökonomische Faktoren, welche die (Schatten-)Preise von Kindern determinieren, zum anderen pronatalistische Normen und Werte, wie sie unter anderem in christlichen Religion…
Family Dynamics after Separation
The Impact of Union Dissolution and Divorce on Adolescents' and Adults' Relationships with their Parents
Using data of the German Family Panel pairfam, this article examines whether relationship-related transitions among adolescents and adults - separations with or without subsequent new relationships and transitions from being single to a relationship - impact different aspects of their relationship with their parents (contact frequency, intimacy, and conflict). Several competing hypotheses are tested. The resource hypothesis, following a supply-si…

Effects of similarity of life goals, values, and personality on relationship satisfaction and stability
Using data from the German Family Panel (pairfam; n = 3,674 heterosexual couples), this study examines the impact of partners’ individual levels and dyadic similarity concerning life goals, values, and personality traits on relationship satisfaction and union dissolution. Controlling for partners’ individual characteristics and for relationship duration, it was found that similarity on specific dimensions and stereotype‐adjusted profile correlati…
Institutional Regulations and the Kinship Solidarity of Women—Results from 13 Areas in Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America
The article extends the model of intergenerational solidarity developed by Bengtson and Silverstein to the analysis of kinship relationships (mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, and the respective in-laws) and culturally diverse society types. A common typology of solidarity patterns is used to compare societies, and each pattern is traced back to relational, individual, and societal conditions within a multi-level framework. The empirical analy…
Competing Pleasures? The Impact of Leisure Time Use on the Transition to Parenthood
Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, the authors examine the impact of leisure, both in terms of the total amount of leisure time and of specific types of leisure activities, on the transition rate to parenthood 2 years later ( N = 3,795 women and N = 3,712 men). With regard to the amount of leisure time, it was found that strongly leisure-oriented women exhibited a lower likelihood of first motherhood only if no close family members …
What Narrows the Stepgap? Closeness Between Parents and Adult (Step)Children in Germany
Using data from the German Family Panel (pairfam) based on 11,746 intergenerational family relationships, the present study examined differences in parental closeness across relations with multiple, coresidential, and non-coresidential adolescent and adult children. Replicating previous research in a multilevel analysis across families, the authors found a strong positive effect of biological descent on closeness in comparison to adoptive and ste…
Relations between Grandparents and Grandchildren in the Context of the Family System
The demographic change which has taken place in recent decades, and in particular the considerable increase in life expectancy, has resulted in intergenerational relationships that are lasting much longer. Despite the increase in people's median age at first child birth, members of different generations now have the opportunity to live together for periods that are unparalleled in human history. Especially the medical and technical progress has l…

Differences in Fertility Patterns between East and West German Women. Disentangling the roles of cultural background and of the transformation process
The present study compares parity-specific fertility patterns of West and East German women (from birth cohorts 1970 and younger) after German re-unification using panel data from the GSOEP (waves 1990 through 2006). Whereas the transition rate for the birth of the first child tends to be higher in the East German than in the West German sub-sample, the likelihood of second births remains considerably higher among West German women across time. T…
Selection, Alignment, and Their Interplay
The present study examines different processes leading to lifestyle homogamy in married and cohabiting couples using data from the German Socioeconomic Panel (n = 3,490 couples). The analyses first suggest that alignment over time promotes homogamy of leisure-related lifestyles, especially with respect to action-oriented activities. However, intermediate stages in the life course (i.e., phases of active parenting and labor force participation) te…
