Who said it—and did it fit the speaker's age? How age-typicality of named objects improves source memory
Memory for who said what can help native and non-native listeners identify critical information for use in conversations. In this study, source memory for object-speaker associations was tested for listeners differing in language background and nativeness. Native and non-native participants of German first heard the voice of a child and an adult speaker name photographs of objects with age-typical characteristics (e.g., a board book for children …
Teachers as facilitators of positive intergroup dynamics and inclusion
Schools with diverse student bodies provide important opportunities for intergroup contact, but diversity alone is not enough to promote positive intergroup dynamics and inclusion. While many interventions target student biases, the role of teachers is often not included. This review of theories and evidence synthesizes educational and developmental approaches and recent evidence to understand the specific role of teachers in positive intergroup …
What can we learn from an intersectionality-informed description of study participants? Results from the German National Cohort
Our results showed that heterogeneity within social categories can be revealed by applying the concept of intersectionality when comparing study participants with an external population. This way, an intersectionality-informed approach contributes to describing social complexity among study participants more precisely. Furthermore, results can be used to reduce participation barriers in a more targeted way
Processing the Gender Star Form in German
The German gender star is a form of gender inclusive language that uses an asterisk to merge masculine and feminine role noun endings (e.g., Choreograf*in, ‘ choreographer inclusive ’). It was created to counter the male bias of masculine forms intended as generic and to represent all genders more inclusively. This study examined how role nouns with the gender star are processed in written and spoken German using a semantic priming paradigm. In E…
Who said it? Native and non-native listeners' source memory for object-speaker associations
Memory for who said what can help native and non-native listeners identify critical information for use in conversations. In two experiments, source memory for object-speaker associations was tested for listeners varying in language proficiency. Native and non-native participants of English first heard speakers name objects with prototypical color (e.g., broccoli) before they had to indicate who had previously named each object. Speakers either c…
Investigating the effect of nativeness and speaker age on the credibility of spoken sentences
Previous studies found mixed results regarding a bias in credibility ratings for trivia statements made by L2 speakers in comparison to L1 speakers. Perceptual fluency, social attitudes, and pragmatic lenience have been proposed as underlying causes for the bias. The present study examined credibility ratings for L2 speakers and extended the scope of the investigation by adding the factor age of the speaker. In the present study, German native ad…
Integrated care models for co‐occurring alcohol use disorders and alcohol‐associated liver disease in rural communities
Alcohol use disorders (AUD) and alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) have growing impacts on public health, yet many do not receive evidence-based care. People with co-occurring AUD and ALD, especially those in rural communities with less access to specialty care, are most in need of novel integrated care models. The use of telehealth to facilitate co-location within an integrated care model may help to improve access to AUD and ALD care while …
Changes in physical activity and sedentary behavior during the first Covid-19 pandemic- restrictions in Germany
Mobility patterns shifted towards inactivity or low-intensity activities during the nationwide restrictions in the spring of 2020, potentially leading to considerable and lasting health risks
What Fires Together, Wires Together
This study investigated the processing of lexical elements of idioms in isolation. Using visual word priming, spreading activation for idiomatically related word pairs (e.g., pop-question) was compared to that for semantically related (e.g., answer-question) and unrelated word pairs (e.g., trim-question) in two experiments varying in SOA (500 ms and 350 ms). In line with hybrid theories of idiom representation and processing, facilitatory priming…
Spoken Word Recognition in Bilingualism
Recognizing spoken words in one's first language (L1) is usually effortless, but the same task can be much more demanding when listening to a second language (L2). In order to decode the message of a speaker, listeners must recognize individual words in the speaker's utterance. Spoken word recognition involves two central processes: (a) multiple word activation and competition and (b) segmentation of the continuous speech stream. One major challe…
Health-Promoting and Sustainable Behavior in University Students in Germany
Health-promoting and sustainable behaviors, such as active transportation and sustainable diets, are associated with positive effects on human health and the environment. In order to unlock the potential of university students as key actors and multipliers, it is of interest to investigate their level of knowledge about the health effects of climate change and their willingness toward and implementation of health-promoting and sustainable behavio…
Local Polynomial Order in Regression Discontinuity Designs
Treatment effect estimates in regression discontinuity (RD) designs are often sensitive to the choice of bandwidth and polynomial order, the two important ingredients of widely used local regression methods. While Imbens and Kalyanaraman and Calonico, Cattaneo, and Titiunik provided guidance on bandwidth, the sensitivity to polynomial order still poses a conundrum to RD practitioners. It is understood in the econometric literature that applying t…
Female Leadership and Gender Gap within Firms
The authors evaluate a 2011 Italian law that installed a step-wise increase in gender quota that remains effective for three consecutive board renewals of listed limited liability firms. They link firm-level information on board membership and board election dates with detailed employment and earnings records from the Social Security registers. Exploiting the staggered introduction of the gender quota regulation and variation in board renewal yea…
Activation of Literal Word Meanings in Idioms
How the language processing system handles formulaic language such as idioms is a matter of debate. We investigated the activation of constituent meanings by means of predictive processing in an eye-tracking experiment and in two ERP experiments (auditory and visual). In the eye-tracking experiment, German-speaking participants listened to idioms in which the final word was excised ( Hannes let the cat out of the . . .). Well before the offset of…
Coworkers, Networks, and Job-Search Outcomes among Displaced Workers
This article examines the mechanisms by which social networks affect the labor market outcomes of displaced workers. The authors draw on administrative records for the universe of private-sector employment in Austria to identify work-related networks among former coworkers. They analyze the importance of social networks for both job seekers and hiring firms. For job seekers, results indicate that having a high share of former coworkers who are cu…
Context and Literality in Idiom Processing
In a self-paced reading study, we investigated how effects of biasing contexts in idiom processing interact with effects of idiom literality. Specifically, we tested if idioms with a high potential for literal interpretation (e.g., break the ice) are processed differently in figuratively and literally biasing contexts than idioms with a low potential (e.g., lose one's cool). Participants read sentences that biased towards a figurative or literal …
What Works? A Meta Analysis of Recent Active Labor Market Program Evaluations
We summarize the estimates from over 200 recent studies of active labor market programs. We classify the estimates by type of program and participant group, and distinguish between three different post-program time horizons. Using regression models for the estimated program effect (for studies that model the probability of employment) and for the sign and significance of the estimated effect (for all the studies in our sample) we conclude that: (…
Learning to Comprehend Foreign-Accented Speech by Means of Production and Listening Training
The effects of production and listening training on the subsequent comprehension of foreign-accented speech were investigated in a training-test paradigm. During training, German nonnative (L2) and English native (L1) participants listened to a story spoken by a German speaker who replaced all English /θ/s with /t/ (e.g., *teft for theft) or they produced the story themselves with the t-substitutes. During test, participants made auditory lexical…
Automaticity and Stability of Adaptation to a Foreign-Accented Speaker
In three cross-modal priming experiments we asked whether adaptation to a foreign-accented speaker is automatic, and whether adaptation can be seen after a long delay between initial exposure and test. Dutch listeners were exposed to a Hebrew-accented Dutch speaker with two types of Dutch words: those that contained [ɪ] (globally accented words), and those in which the Dutch [i] was shortened to [ɪ] (specific accent marker words). Experiment 1, w…

When One Person's Mistake Is Another's Standard Usage
How do native listeners process grammatical errors that are frequent in non-native speech? We investigated whether the neural correlates of syntactic processing are modulated by speaker identity. ERPs to gender agreement errors in sentences spoken by a native speaker were compared with the same errors spoken by a non-native speaker. In line with previous research, gender violations in native speech resulted in a P600 effect (larger P600 for viola…

Self-esteem and Self-perpetuating Effects of Threat on Contingencies of Self-worth
Three studies tested self-esteem as a moderator of the effect of self-threats on contingencies of self-worth. In Studies 1 and 2, participants recalled favorable or unfavorable experiences related to belongingness or academic competence; in Study 3, women watched commercials featuring attractive models. In general, threatening conditions led participants with high self-esteem to decrease the extent to which their self-worth depends on the threate…
Active Labour Market Policy Evaluations
This article presents a meta-analysis of recent microeconometric evaluations of active labour market policies. We categorise 199 programme impacts from 97 studies conducted between 1995 and 2007. Job search assistance programmes yield relatively favourable programme impacts, whereas public sector employment programmes are less effective. Training programmes are associated with positive medium-term impacts, although in the short term they often ap…

Finding Referents in Time
In two eye-tracking experiments the role of contrastive pitch accents during the on-line determination of referents was examined. In both experiments, German listeners looked earlier at the picture of a referent belonging to a contrast pair ( red scissors , given purple scissors) when instructions to click on it carried a contrastive accent on the color adjective (L + H*) than when the adjective was not accented. In addition to this prosodic faci…

Help or Hindrance
Four phoneme-detection studies tested the conclusion from recent research that spoken-language processing is inhibited by violation of obligatory assimilation processes in the listeners' native language. In Experiment 1, native listeners of German detected a target fricative in monosyllabic Dutch nonwords, half of which violated progressive German fricative place assimilation. In contrast to the earlier findings, listeners detected the fricative …

Assimilation Violation and Spoken-Language Processing
Previous studies have shown that spoken-language processing is inhibited by violation of obligatory regressive assimilation. Weber (2001)replicated this inhibitory effect in a phoneme-monitoring study examining regressive place assimilation of nasals, but found facilitation for violation of progressive assimilation. German listeners detected the velar fricative [x] more quickly when fricative assimilation was violated (e.g., *[bIxt]or*[blInx n])t…
