Patient preferences for healthcare chaplaincy
Healthcare chaplaincy should focus on the needs of patients. This not only applies to clinical practice, but also to institutional alignments, structural and organizational prerequisites, and public health policies. It is therefore necessary to evaluate whether the delivery of spiritual care corresponds structurally to the needs of the patient population in question. Using a representative population survey (n = 1'011), this study examines the pr…
The Reputational Configuration and Dynamics of Christian Churches in Switzerland
This study examines how the reputation of Christian churches is configured, and which sociodemographic variables and experiences (personal or mediated) relate to it. It provides in‐depth insights into how the Swiss population evaluates Roman Catholic, Reformed Protestant, and Evangelical churches on the basis of various theories, such as organizational reputation, media, and social identity theories, embedded in a religious sociological context. …
Analysing the media repertoires that Swiss expatriates use to inform themselves about their heritage country
For people who migrate, the media are an important source of information about their heritage country. However, we know little about which media expatriates from wealthy countries like Switzerland use to inform themselves about their heritage country. Using data from a readership survey of the Swiss Revue, the official publication of the Organisation of the Swiss Abroad (OSA), we investigate the media consumption of Swiss expatriates. We identify…
Mindsets of conspiracy
In times of crisis, the spread of conspiracy myths increases since people seek answers to complex questions. Besides societal aspects, social media platforms, especially messenger services, have been identified as a positive driver for spreading conspiracy myths. Much research focused on whether right-wing populist attitudes correlate with belief in conspiracy myths resulting in inconsistent findings. We show that different anti-system attitudes …
Mapping and Explaining Media Quality
In this article, we analyse how various macro- and meso-level factors influence news media’s provision of hard news, an important element of media quality. The research draws on a content analysis of more than 100,000 news items between 2015 and 2019 from 53 print, radio, TV, and online news outlets in Switzerland, a small state with three linguistically segmented media markets, each of which is partially influenced by a large neighbouring countr…
Contested Elections in Increasingly Commercialized Media. A Diachronic Analysis of Executive and Parliamentary Election News Coverage in Switzerland
In view of the sinking level of consensus and the allegedly growing ‘presidentialization’ of politics in Switzerland, this paper asks whether this process can be explained by the ‘mediatization of politics’, enforced by the commercialization of the media. Taking a comparative approach in analyzing news coverage about executive and parliamentary elections from 1960 to 2011 in three different media types, it shows an increasing focus on executive e…

How to Concretize Research on the Coupling of Ecosystems to Human Activities? From Socioeconomic Indicators to Styles of Living and Acting
Recent ecological studies have identified human activity as a relevant dimension of current evolutionary processes. However, most of these studies rely on socioeconomic indicators that consider the impact of activities on ecosystems but have only limited informative value on the effects of concrete patterns of action. This paper focuses on the concept of style as a tool for the study of the interface between society and nature. We exemplify our t…
Suburbanisation, Mobility and the 'Good Life in the Country
It seems to be almost a law of nature that cities are expanding into their hinterlands and that networks of low density settlements are forming along transport routes. What is driving this process? Who is settling in the urban sprawl, and why? These questions are explored in the following article. In the suburbanised region to the north of Frankfurt am Main in Germany, a total of 1359 households in 67 locations were investigated with respect to t…
Über den Umgang mit biblischen und juristischen Quellen
Both, theology and jurisprudence deal with the exegesis of texts. Textual exegesis respectively textual interpretation aims at giving an explanation of the meaning of the text itself but also refers to wider social contexts. Since theology and jurisprudence share this objective, this article wants to line out the method of theological exegesis on the one side and legal exegesis on the other side. Both sciences are closely related to basic conditi…
