Figure 4 M2—Muslim and non-Muslim minorities. Predicted probabilities with 95 percent confidence intervals. Dependent variable: ‘How much do you like Jews?’ (1 = not at all; 5 = very much)

Interesting paper on relationship between national belonging and pro-Jewish sentiment among German natives, Muslim and non-Muslim minorities. Students with migrantion background report lower national belonging and more anti-Jewish sentiment. academic.oup.com/esr/advance-...

Mediennutzung und Medienwirkung als sozialer Prozeß In unserer modernen, funktional differenzierten Gesellschaft stellen die Massenmedien das Hauptkontaktmittel zur sozialen und politischen Umwelt dar.

🚨 New paper: Who climbs the Ivory Tower? 🏛️ Together with Nicolai Borgen and Astrid Sandsør (@astridsandsor.bsky.social), we find that the chances of becoming a professor differ enormously by family background. Here’s what we find 👇

Teacher bias or unobserved ability? @ssreditorial.bsky.social paper w/ @marespadafor.bsky.social Test score error & omitted behavior = 🐘 in the (class)room to identify SES discrimination. Still, beyond "true ability", well-off (low-performing) kids get higher teacher ratings: doi.org/10.1016/j.ss...

🙏 Thanks to all who provided input on the article, and in particular to the RSSM for the smooth publication process and constructive feedback from the reviewers and the editor!

📈 Empirically, we find that attributional factors better explain the “perception gap” than actual unfair treatment, in particular information deficits, enrolment in the lowest school tracks, and high parental aspirations.

📚 We study whether this gap results from actual unfair treatment or from attributional factors, such as information deficits, enrolment in a stigmatized track, high parental aspiration, and pronounced “aspiration squeeze”.

💡 Based on our recently collected & novel #PerFair data on inequality perceptions among 7th-graders,
@cdiehl.bsky.social, Thomas Hinz & myself study why minority vs majority students more often perceive to belong to a higher educational track than they currently attend.

✨ For those who missed it: Our Article on Perceived Track Mismatch among Minority and Majority Students in the German Education System is published in RSSM ❗️🥳❗️

📢 New in @sfjournal.bsky.social: We study how parental #education shapes children’s #cognitive development. Accounting for selective parenthood & grandparent & early parent characteristics, we find education largely reflects broader #intergenerational advantages. academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

In @europeansocreview.bsky.social with S.Trittler: New migrants who are visible and highly educated report most discrimination: high discrim. coincides with high awareness of unfair treatment and high aspirations for fair treatment.

New papers out on perceived unfairness! A 🧵:

In @sociusjournal.bsky.social with @brueggemann-o.bsky.social J. Lang, S. Strauss we show that women are no longer more accepting of lower wages than men by using linked employer-employee data.

🎉Big news! My ERCStG proposal SOCDEBT has been selected for funding @erc.europa.eu!
📚I’ll study how household debt is stratified across countries & over time; how people strategize, evaluate, and morally judge debt(ors).
🙏I'm truly indebted to all my friends, colleagues & mentors for your support!

The next In_equality Conference is around the corner – you know what to do! Like in previous years, the event is not only an academic (inequality research) & personal (great & nice community) highlight; the venue by the beautiful lake makes it unforgettable!

ECRs are particularly welcome to apply!
