The contradictions of democracy ‐ structural paradoxes and the erosion of collective agency. Insights from the Transatlantic Research Lab on Complex Societal Challenges
Democratic systems are often seen as resilient, yet today they reach their limits: polarization, loss of trust, and digital discourses undermine their capacity to act. In this article, we explore how structural contradictions and communicative double binds challenge democratic practice ‐ and ask which new forms of participation are needed to secure future viability
Association of personality traits and socio-environmental factors with Covid-19 pandemic-related conspiratorial thinking in the D-A-CH region
Misinformation, lack of trust, and uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic have fostered the emergence of new conspiracy theories. In August 2021, we examined the association of individual personality traits and socio-environmental factors with high belief in pandemic-related conspiracies through an online survey among 3,067 quota-sampled German-speaking adults residing in the D-A-CH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). In multivariable-adjus…
The Relationship between Big Five Personality Traits and Depression in the German-Speaking D-A-CH Region Including an Investigation of Potential Moderators and Mediators
Considerable evidence links the “Big Five” personality traits (neuroticism, extroversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness) with depression. However, potential mediating and moderating factors are less well understood. We utilized data from a cross-sectional survey of 3065 German-speaking adults from the D-A-CH region to estimate multivariable-adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervalsbetween personality traits and lifetime p…
Navigating through poly-crises towards One Health
Navigating today’s crises requires transcending one-dimensional, exclusively science-centered approaches. This article advocates a transdisciplinary strategy, integrating diverse perspectives to address complex issues like poly-crises. It emphasizes the potential of mutual learning and knowledge co-generation between science and society for fostering creative, sustainable solutions within a multilayered innovation system
Fast Response to Superspreading
Although the first coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) wave has peaked with the second wave underway, the world is still struggling to manage potential systemic risks and unpredictability of the pandemic. A particular challenge is the "superspreading" of the virus, which starts abruptly, is difficult to predict, and can quickly escalate into medical and socio-economic emergencies that contribute to long-lasting crises challenging our current ways…
