Falling Behind, Losing Trust: Intergenerational Social Mobility and Generalized Trust in Europe
Trust in Consumer Markets: The Role of Consumer Policy and Market Norms Across 30 European Countries
Economic transactions involve concerns about seller honesty and product quality, requiring a baseline level of trust from consumers. While economic sociology has extensively studied how networks and market intermediaries foster trust, the role of social macrostructures has been examined less. This paper makes the case that consumer trust is embedded within institutions, operationalized as consumer policy, and culture, represented as market norms.…
The same social elevator? Intergenerational class mobility of second-generation immigrants across Europe
Ethnicity and social class are two of the main axes stratifying life chances in developed societies. Nevertheless, knowledge of the integration of ethnic minorities into the pattern of class reproduction remains incipient as evidence stems mostly from studies concentrating on specific ethnicities or single host countries. This article advances this knowledge by providing a comparative perspective on the intergenerational occupational mobility of …
Behavioral barriers impede pro-environmental decision-making: Experimental evidence from incentivized laboratory and vignette studies
Despite increasing concerns about climate change, many people struggle to translate their pro-environmental values into action. Here, we explore the origins of this value-action gap focusing on the role of behavioral barriers that are characteristic for many environmentally relevant decisions. Using incentivized online laboratory and vignette experiments, we find that individuals are less likely to behave in accordance with their environmental va…
Leaving the bike unlocked: Trust Discrimination in Inter-Ethnic Encounters
Migration and ethnic diversity are said to hamper the cultivation of social trust, as native citizens may hesitate to trust ethnic out-groups and racial minorities. This article examines trust discrimination against ethno-racial minorities in everyday interactions. In a field intervention, cyclists were approached with a request for help that required them to leave their bicycles alone for a short time. I experimentally manipulated the presence a…
Is football coming out? Anti-gay attitudes, social desirability, and pluralistic ignorance in amateur and professional football
Past work consistently points to improved attitudes towards gay athletes and growing support for homosexuality, yet reports of a homophobic climate in amateur and professional football persist. Here, we explore two potential explanations for the prevalence of homophobia in football despite low levels of anti-gay attitudes: social desirability and pluralistic ignorance. We conduct an online survey among a football-affine and socio-demographically …
Putting Morals into Economics: From Value Neutrality to the Moral Economy and the Economization of Morality
The economic discipline plays a performative role in constructing the moral order of market society. Yet, little attention has been paid to what economists explicitly regard as moral or how they conceive of morality. This article reflects a recent attempt to put morals into economics, that is, to introduce morality as a research topic in behavioural and experimental economics. It maps three research programs that theorize the moral economy. The p…
The Inequality-Trust Nexus Revisited: At What Level of Aggregation Does Income Inequality Matter for Social Trust
The negative linkage between income inequality and social trust is widely acknowledged. Despite this consensus, it remains unclear at what level of aggregation income inequality matters most to the cultivation of social trust. In a comprehensive review, Wilkinson and Pickett (Annu Rev Sociol 35:493-511, 2009) speculate that income inequality is most important when measured at the societal level, whereas for lower units of aggregation economic dev…
