Online Information as a Double-Edged Sword
This study examines the relationship between internet use and vaccine scepticism, focusing on the ambivalent role of digital information environments and digital health literacy (DHL). While the internet provides easy access to vaccination-related information, frequent internet use may also increase exposure to misinformation and disinformation. Accordingly, both positive and negative effects of internet-based information seeking are hypothesized…
Distinguishing complementary and alternative medicine
Treating complementary and alternative medicine as distinct reveals different prevalence rates and influencing factors. Religion, satisfaction with the healthcare system, education, age, and gender play varying roles depending on whether CAM is used alongside or instead of conventional medicine. Cross-country differences point to cultural and health system influences. For public health, distinguishing between complementary and alternative use can…
It’s Sunny, Be Healthy? An International Comparison of the Influence of Sun Exposure and Latitude Lines on Self-Rated Health
The positive impact of sunshine on self-rated health is well known. For the first time, the relationship between sunshine and self-rated health is examined in the context of latitude lines in international comparison. The further people live from the equator, the lower sun exposure (UVB exposure) and the more often they experience a vitamin D deficiency. UVB exposure decreases with degrees of latitudinal lines, and in addition to that, sunshine d…
Die richtige Mischung? Ein randomisiertes Experiment zur Datenqualität bei der Kombination von Telefon- und Onlineerhebung in der empirischen Sozialforschung
Der Beitrag untersucht die Datenqualität einer kombinierten Telefon- und Onlinebefragung. Solche Mixed-Mode-Designs werden in der deutschen akademischen Sozialforschung noch relativ selten eingesetzt, obwohl damit eine Reihe von Vorteilen verbunden sein kann. Allerdings können sich auch negative Effekte aus einer Kombination von Daten aus verschiedenen Quellen ergeben. Im Rahmen eines randomisierten Experimentes werden eine Single-Mode-Telefonbef…
Soziale Benachteiligung und Gesundheit Bei Kindern und Jugendlichen
The Influence of Regional Social Inequality and Labour Market Characteristics on Health
The influence of contextual factors on individual health status has been demonstrated by a number of studies even when controlling for the individual socio-economic situation (and other relevant factors). The article examines whether and to what extent variables of the place of residence have an effect on individual health status. We do not only refer to income levels and inequality, but also to effects of the educational level and inequality and…
Look Who's Talking
Making a verbal contribution is an efficient means to increase one's visibility in the academic job market. Therefore, we examine the duration and word density of spoken contributions made in debates at sociology conferences held in Germany, thus enriching the discussion on the gender gap in scientific careers. We differentiate between the contributors' age and gender, and the social context of the conferences. Hidden observation of 392 verbal co…

Machen Kleider Leute? / Does Clothing Make the Man
In diesem Aufsatz geht es um die Frage, ob Geschlecht und Kleidung als Ausdruck des sozialen Status immer noch der sozialen Einordnung und Bewertung von Individuen in alltäglichen Interaktionen dienen. Die Analysen basieren auf Daten, die in einem Feldexperiment gewonnen wurden. Dieselben Versuchspersonen gaben dazu einmal in formeller Kleidung und einmal studentisch gekleidet in Läden Interesse für bestimmte Produkte vor und registrierten die Re…
Soziale Benachteiligung und Gesundheit bei Kindern und Jugendlichen
Soziale Schicht und Körpergrösse in Ost- und Westdeutschland
Social status and adult heights in the two Germanies
The West German capitalistic welfare state provided a more propitious environment for the physical growth of the human organism than did the socialist East German government. There were substantial social differences in height in the officially classless German Democratic Republic
