Explanatory and Causal Methodology in Sociology
Explanation and causality are fundamental concerns for sociology as a problem- and theory-guided empirical discipline. This introduction distinguishes explanation and causality analytically while showing how they are intertwined in research oriented toward causal explanation. We first revisit the historically most influential conception of explanation, the covering-law model, and use it to identify continuing challenges specific to sociological e…
Dynamics of Model Building
The method of decreasing abstraction (MDA) has been proposed as a strategy for developing sociological models that balance parsimony and descriptive adequacy. This paper reconstructs Lindenberg’s version of MDA and situates it within broader debates on unrealistic assumptions and the tension between instrumentalism and realism. Lindenberg’s MDA can be viewed as a special case of a more general class of theory-development strategies. It combines e…
The role of generalized trust and control in the employment of domestic help - An experimental case study for Germany and the UK
This study analyses the role of generalized trust and control in households' employment of domestic help. Applying a basic trust game with uncertainty, we argue that households differ in their estimate of the proportion of opportunistic domestic workers, variation which we ascribe to generalized trust. Households with low trust should estimate a lower proportion of non-opportunistic individuals, making them less willing to accept a domestic worke…
Doing Housework in Context
The persisting gendered division of domestic labor in Western societies remains puzzling. Beyond standard economic and normative explanations, more recent approaches emphasize affective, cognitive, and incorporated aspects of housework and the production, reproduction, and negotiation of gendered expectations via social interactions. However, the relevant indicators for these more implicit mechanisms are not routinely included in social surveys. …
Rethinking paid domestic services in modern societies – Experimental evidence on the effect of quality and professionalisation on service demand
Purpose Although essential to social welfare, unpaid domestic and care work is an increasingly scarce resource in modern societies. Despite the growing need, many households refrain from outsourcing their domestic chores to the market. Simultaneously, the household service sector is mostly characterised by low-qualification, informal jobs lacking quality and professional standards. Drawing on transaction cost theory, the present study aims to exa…
Nachhaltiger Lebensmittelkonsum. Eine Frage sozialer Differenzierung
Nachhaltiger Lebensmittelkonsum stellt ein Kernelement bei der Bewältigung der Klimakrise dar; entsprechend geht mit der aktuellen Nachhaltigkeitsbewegung ein breites Angebot und eine steigende Nachfrage nach Bio- und Fair-Trade-Produkten einher. Soziologisch stellt sich die zentrale Frage, ob es sich bei diesen Entwicklungen um die Diffusion neuer nachhaltiger Konsummuster in breiten Bevölkerungsschichten handelt oder ob sie unterschiedliche leb…
Vorsicht bei Vorschlägen zur Interpretation von Regressionen mit Interaktionsvariablen
Die zentrale Idee einer Interaktion besteht darin, einen konditionalen Effekt zu modellieren, d. h. der Effekt einer Variablen ( $$x_{i}$$ x i ) auf die abhängige Variable ( $$y_{i}$$ y i ) hängt vom Wert einer anderen Variablen ( $$z_{i}$$ z i ) ab. Mayerl und Urban diskutieren in ihrer Abhandlung die Eigenschaften von Haupt- und Interaktionseffekten und welche Fallstricke sich bei deren Interpretation ergeben können. Leider vermitteln Mayerl un…
Gender-specific effects of commuting and relocation on a couple's social life
This contribution analyzes gender-specific effects of long-distance commuting and residential relocation on the social integration of couples. Research on geographical mobility in the partnership context focused very much on gender differences of regional
Die Auslagerung familiärer Sorgearbeit als Vertrauensproblem – Eine wirtschaftssoziologische Betrachtung der Nachfrage nach Haushaltshilfen und Kinderbetreuung
Der Beitrag untersucht die Nachfrage nach Haushaltshilfen und verschiedenen Kinderbetreuungsformen von Paar- und Familienhaushalten aus wirtschaftssoziologischer Perspektive. Dabei wird ein einheitlicher transaktionskostentheoretischer Ansatz gewählt, der die Auslagerung familiärer Sorgetätigkeiten analog zu betrieblichen Outsourcing-(„make-or-buy“) Entscheidungen betrachtet. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Vertrauensprobleme, die bei der entgeltlichen Aus…

Explaining Gender Inequalities That Follow Couple Migration
By exploiting the unique social and economic differences between East and West Germany, the authors investigated how macro-level opportunities interact with couple-level decision making to explain gender differences in the determinants and economic outcomes of household migration. By incorporating regional socioeconomic conditions into household bargaining theory, 4 hypotheses for each region were derived. The hypotheses were tested using cross-c…
New City = New Friends? The Restructuring of Social Resources after Relocation
Despite the significance of spatially proximate social contacts, there is little evidence about the effects of residential mobility on the social capital available to an individual. Based on theoretical considerations of the accumulation process of social capital after relocation, we derive hypotheses about the consequences of residential mobility on social capital. Firstly, we expect a partial devaluation of social capital in the origin region a…
A simple mobility game for couples' migration decisions and some quasi-experimental evidence
This paper develops a new theoretical model for couples' migration decisions, called the mobility game. The model describes migration decisions as reliant on the strategic interdependence of two partners. The important implications of this model are as follows: first, under complete information, a household move is the 'natural' solution for stable couples; second, incomplete information allows the tied mover to 'blackmail' the partner and thus t…
