The social resonance of environmental media messages: A connectionist-inspired reception analysis
This study examines the reasons why certain environmental messages are received negatively by some social groups and not by others. In particular, the study provides insights into the influence of fear appeals in environmental communication and explores how communication strategies can be optimised to encourage environmentally friendly behaviour. In contrast to many studies that adopt a linear perspective on media effects, this study analyses the…
The association between out-of-home mobility and internet use patterns among people aged 60 and older
The internet is seen as a medium that enables older individuals with limited out-of-home mobility (OOHM) to maintain independence and social connections, but little attention has been given to their internet use so far. Utilising a previously developed typology of non-, basic-, selective- and allround internet users, aged 60 and above, and drawing on data from the Belgian Ageing Studies (N = 2,788), we examined the association between OOHM and in…
Cross-national variation in teachers’ status as professionals: A sociological and teacher-centered approach
Whether teaching qualifies as a profession has been a longstanding debate. Inspired by the work of Ingersoll and Collins (2018), this paper studies cross-national variation in seven characteristics of the teaching profession. We examine their mutual interrelationships and relate these characteristics to job satisfaction and PISA results. Data from the Teaching and Learning International Survey 2018 (TALIS; 49 regions/countries) show that in gener…
Navigating the city: A systematic literature review on women’s perceived safety in urban public space
Demonstrating construct validity and reliability of an eight-item experienced time pressure scale in nine large studies
Modern Western societies are believed to be characterized by a chronic lack of time. Yet, paradoxically, people in these societies have never worked less and have more leisure time than ever before. The lack of time is therefore mainly a subjective experience. Despite all attempts to measure this objectively an experienced time pressure scale seems more appropriate. Although such scales exist, they have hardly been assessed for their construct va…
When the Student Becomes the Teacher: Determinants of Self-Estimated Successful PhD Completion Among Graduate Teaching Assistants
This study investigates how graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) differ from regular graduates in terms of input characteristics (i.e., who they are), process characteristics (i.e., how they experience the PhD trajectory), and the self-estimated likelihood of successfully completing the PhD. Additionally, it assesses to what extent and how the input and process characteristics explain the self-estimated success rate between the two groups. The dat…
Locking Down Gender Roles? A Time-Use Perspective on Gender Division of Household Labour during the Covid-19 Pandemic Lockdown in Belgium
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the division of household labour could continue to lock down or start to break gender roles. Using time-use data of n = 473 individuals collected during the lockdown restrictions in Belgium from March to May 2020, we analyse the gendered division of routine and non-routine household labour in absolute time use and relative shares. We compare against the Belgian time-use data of 2013 for the same time period …
One city, different views: An analysis of cultural schemes on Brussels as a living environment
Brussels is struggling with a negative image as a living environment. This converges with an outward migration of economically better-off inhabitants, which has a negative effect on tax revenues. Improving the image of Brussels has thus become a policy priority. This paper investigates perceptions about Brussels within three subpopulations: Brussels residents, commuters and non-residents. By applying cluster analysis to 180 interviews, distinctiv…
Perceptions as drivers of residential mobility: A resonance analysis
Data Quality and Recall Bias in Time-Diary Research: The Effects of Prolonged Recall Periods in Self-Administered Online Time-Use Surveys
Previous research has shown that a prolonged recall period is associated with lower data quality in time-diary research. In these studies, the recall period is roughly estimated on the basis of the period between the assigned diary day and the agreed collection day. Because this is so rudimentary, little is known about the duration of the mean recall period and its consequences for data quality. Recent advances in online methodology now allow a b…
Bias in estimated working hours in time diary research: The effect of cyclical work time patterns on postponing designated registration days
Due to the diversification and fragmentation of working time arrangements, the organisation of working weeks now differ substantially from each other. To account for week-to-week variability in working time estimates in time diary research, it is important that respondents keep their time diaries on designated registration days. At the same time, this week-to-week variability might lead respondents to postpone their participation to convenient re…
Berichtgeving in Belgische kranten over Brussel als woonplaats
L’image extrêmement négative de Bruxelles dans la presse, souvent citée comme un facteur expliquant le manque d’attrait de la ville en tant que lieu de vie, fait rarement l’objet de recherches. Cette étude porte sur la façon dont les journaux belges présentent la vie bruxelloise, ainsi que sur la façon dont ces représentations sont corrélées à des schémas culturels plus généraux qui influent sur les perceptions de la population. Une analyse des c…
