Encouraging Individual Contributions to Net-Zero Organizations: Effects of Behavioral Policy Interventions and Social Norms
To contribute to a better understanding of the determinants of climate-friendly organizational behavior, we study the potential of behavioral policy interventions and social norms to foster individual contributions to organizational decarbonization initiatives. We investigate the effects of different types of behavioral policy interventions (default nudges vs. short-term boosts) in isolation and when they are combined with normative appeals to ad…
Control variable selection in applied quantitative sociology: A critical review
A review of all research papers published in the European Sociological Review in 2016 and 2017 (N = 118) shows that only a minority of papers clearly define the parameter of interest and provide sufficient reasoning for the selected control variables of the statistical analysis. Thus, the vast majority of papers does not reach minimal standards for the selection of control variables. Consequently, a majority of papers interpret biased coefficient…
Verallgemeinerbarkeit und Engführung von Gütekriterien . Replik auf den Kommentar „Jenseits der Lagerbildung“
In diesem Beitrag setzen wir uns mit den Anmerkungen von Franz Erhard und Robert Schäfer zu unserem Artikel „Gütekriterien in der Soziologie“ auseinander. Wir gehen auf vier Aspekte ein: (1) die Frage, ob allgemeine, transdisziplinäre Anforderungen wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens in einen Gütekriterienkatalog gehören und ob der Gegenstandsbereich der Soziologie disziplinspezifische Kriterien erfordert; (2) den Einwand, dass die Kopplung unseres Theo…
Critères de qualité de la recherche en sociologie: Une perspective analytique-empirique
L'article développe un catalogue de onze critères de qualité scientifique pour la recherche sociologique à partir d'une perspective analytique-empirique. Ce catalogue de critères comprend des exigences de qualité pour le développement de la théorie et de la recherche empirique. Une distinction est faite entre deux critères de base qui traitent de l'ensemble du processus de recherche, neuf critères fondamentaux qui traitent chacun des étapes succe…
Gütekriterien in der Soziologie: Eine analytisch-empirische Perspektive
Der Artikel entwickelt einen Katalog von elf wissenschaftlichen Gütekriterien für soziologische Forschungsarbeiten aus einer analytisch-empirischen Perspektive. Der Kriterienkatalog umfasst Qualitätsanforderungen an die Theorieentwicklung und die empirische Sozialforschung. Unterschieden werden zwei Basiskriterien, die den gesamten Forschungsprozess betreffen, neun Kernkriterien, die an einzelnen Etappen dieses Prozesses ansetzen, und eine Reihe …
(K)ein Platz für die Kunst und Kultur ethnischer Minderheiten? Zur Unterstützung der öffentlichen Förderung der Kunst und Kultur ethnischer Minderheiten in der deutschen Bevölkerung
Dieser Artikel befasst sich mit der Frage, inwiefern sich in der deutschen Bevölkerung Unterstützung für eine ethnisch inklusive Kulturförderung findet. Zur Erklärung von Differenzen in den Einstellungen greife ich auf drei Erklärungsansätze zurück. Diese prüfe ich empirisch mit Daten des Projekts Kulturelle Bildung und Kulturpartizipation in Deutschland. Insgesamt unterstützt ein großer Anteil der deutschen Bevölkerung eine ethnisch inklusive Ku…
The Cultural Dimension of the Globalization Divide. Do Lifestyle Signals affect Cosmopolitans’ Willingness to interact
In the context of the rise of right-wing populist parties in the past decades, many researchers have addressed the question of increasing social polarization and threats to social cohesion. In this article, we contribute to this discussion by looking at the cultural side of the globalization divide from the perspective of cleavage theory. More precisely, we ask if respondents interpret lifestyle characteristics as signals for the socio-political …
Educational Expansion, Social Class, and Choosing Latin as a Strategy of Distinction
In times of educational expansion, privileged families are looking for new strategies of distinction. Referring to Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of distinction, we argue that choosing Latin at school – a language that is no longer spoken and therefore has no direct value – is one of the strategies of privileged families to set themselves apart from less privileged families. Based on two surveys we conducted at German schools, the paper analyzes the re…
Research note: The Covid-19 pandemic and its effects on scientific work in German sociology
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, scientific work is highly affected by the governments’ measures taken to reduce the spread of the virus. With closing colleges, universities, and kindergartens, scientists had to adapt to new forms of working procedures. Immediately after the peak of the first COVID-19 wave in Germany, we surveyed in professors and postdoctoral researchers in the field of German sociology in May 2020 to investigate ho…
Within-Track Differentiation and Leisure Activities as Strategies of Distinction
The socially inclusive educational expansion during the last few decades in Germany diluted the previous “elite” status of the Gymnasium and its certificate, the Abitur . In the absence of explicit “elite” institutions, unlike the UK, the USA or France, the question remains how social privilege is intergenerationally transferred in times of educational expansion? Several studies on this topic focused on distinction either through horizontal educa…
The reproduction of educational elites through natural cultivation. A qualitative analysis of educational child-rearing practices as strategies of cultural distinction
During the last decades, the socially inclusive educational expansion diluted the previous exclusiveness of upper secondary degrees. Unlike the UK, the USA, or France, no explicit "elite" institutions do exist in the German educational system. Nevertheless, educational inequality is no less pronounced. Hence, what child-rearing practices do educationally privileged families in Germany apply to intergenerationally transfer their social privilege i…
Reversing the symbolic order of discrimination: Results From a Field Experiment on the Discrimination of Migrants and Transgender People in Theatre
Several field experimental studies have shown that people with a migration background and a non-heterosexual orientation are discriminated against in the labour market. However, most studies do not consider that modern societies are differentiated into various social subfields where different selection criteria can apply. In the field of art, for example, one could observe a broad and intense discourse on diversity that could have shaped human re…
Understanding the mechanisms of ethnic discrimination: A field experiment on discrimination against Turks, Syrians and Americans in the Berlin shared housing market
This article focusses on the scope and causes of ethnic discrimination against applicants with different ethnic backgrounds in the German housing market. Whereas ethnic discrimination is a well-documented phenomenon in the commercial housing market, little is known about the shared housing market.I conducted a field experiment in the German shared housing market for students, sending out fictitious enquiries with names signalling a Turkish, a Syr…
Do Grandparents Transmit a Highbrow Lifestyle to their Grandchildren? Testing Bourdieu’s Theory of Distinction
Pierre Bourdieu assumes in his theory of lifestyle that a highbrow lifestyle is shaped during childhood socialization and depends on the cultural capital of the family. While the effect of parents’ capital and lifestyle on their children has been frequently analyzed, there is no research that focuses on the three-generational transmission of a highbrow lifestyle from grandparents to their grandchildren. We attempt to fill this research gap with o…
