Generation Z and Organizational Listening on Social Media
2020
Young people are avid users of social media and have appeared as a powerful force for social change, as shown by the ranks of those who have joined Greta Thunberg in the global climate movement. In addition to challenging political institutions and governments, young people today are also holding the corporate world accountable. To respond to young people’s expectations, brands, and organizations have turned to social media to interact and build relationships with them. However, critics have lamented that these attempts often fail and that young people’s trust in institutions, brands, and organizations continues to decline. This article asks how young people perceive organizational listenin…
The many faces of human sociality: uncovering the distribution and stability of social preferences
2018
There is vast heterogeneity in the human willingness to weigh others' interests in decision making. This heterogeneity concerns the motivational intricacies as well as the strength of other-regarding behaviors, and raises the question how one can parsimoniously model and characterize heterogeneity across several dimensions of social preferences while still being able to predict behavior over time and across situations. We tackle this task with an experiment and a structural model of preferences that allows us to simultaneously estimate outcome-based and reciprocity-based social preferences. We find that non-selfish preferences are the rule rather than the exception. Neither at the level of …
Demokratie und Gemeinschaft. Oder: wie kontrovers ist die Kommunitarismusdebatte?
1996
"Unter dem Etikett der 'Kommunitarismusdebatte' wird seit einigen Jahren der Umgang mit Differenz und die Integration unterschiedlicher Bevölkerungsgruppen in ein demokratisches politisches System kontrovers diskutiert. Der Streit zwischen 'Kommunitaristen' und 'Liberalen' entzündet sich üaber die Grundlagen der modernen Demokratie. Vereinfacht gründet sich für die Kommunitaristen Demokratie zuerst auf Gemeinschaft und für die Liberalen zuerst auf Gerechtigkeit. Die Kommunitarismusdebatte blieb trotz einer großen Zahl von Beiträgen auf die Analyse moderner westlicher Demokratien beschränkt und sie weist zudem ein 'soziologisches Defizit' auf. Auf diese Lücken zielt meine Fragestellung. Wie …
Debating Europe: Effects of the “Eurovision Debate” on EU Attitudes of Young German Voters and the Moderating Role Played by Political Involvement
2016
In the run-up to the elections to the European Parliament in 2014, EU citizens had the unprecedented opportunity to watch televised debates between the candidates running for president of the European Commission. The most important debate was the so-called "Eurovision debate", which was broadcasted in almost all EU member states. In this study we explore the responses of a sample of 110 young German voters, who watched this debate, to the candidates' messages and whether exposure to the debate caused a shift in the respondents' attitudes towards the EU. Combining data from a quasi-experiment, real-time response data, and data from a content analysis of the debate, we find that respondents' …
The role of informal learning in adults' literacy proficiency
2021
This study used the Programme for International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) dataset to examine informal literacy learning’s effects on adults’ literacy proficiency. Also, the factors associated with informal literacy learning at and outside of work were studied. The study participants were Nordic adults aged 35–65 years. The statistical method was regression analysis, and the results indicate that informal literacy activities at work are associated primarily with occupation, and informal literacy activities outside of work with education, parents’ education and gender. Initial education, occupation, language background and age exerted the strongest estimated associations with r…
Le repas à l'épreuve du cancer : une rédéfinition sensorielle, sensible et symbolique

This contribution is focused on patients' food practices affected by cancer and cure. The led analyses wish to understand the break linked to the disease and cures to question ways either sensory or symbolic which determine the food choices.
Instrumental calculation, cognitive role-playing, or both?: self-perceptions of Seconded National Experts in the European Commission
2011
This is the authors’ final, accepted and refereed manuscript to the article Most work studying micro-processes of integration – i.e. how agents develop identities and decision-making behaviours within a particular institution – offers explanations based on either instrumental rationality or socialisation. This article proposes a two-dimensional framework that allows analysing under which conditions both logics of social action co-exist. Our empirical analysis employs a unique dataset from a 2011 survey of all 1098 currently active Seconded National Experts (SNEs) in the European Commission. We find that a) instrumental cost-benefit calculation and cognitive role-playing (as semi-reflexive s…

Elektronische Tagebücher optimieren die Kognitive Verhaltenstherapie bei Krankheitsängsten : eine randomisiert-kontrollierte Studie
2015
Zentrale Komponenten in kognitiv-behavioralen Erklärungsmodellen der Hypochondrie und den daraus abgeleiteten Behandlungen sind eine selektive Aufmerksamkeitslenkung auf körperliche Empfindungen und ein katastrophisierender Symptominterpretationsbias. Wir untersuchten, ob sich die Effektivität einer störungsspezifischen Kognitiven Verhaltenstherapie (KVT) für Patienten mit Hypochondrie durch ein zusätzliches zweiwöchiges elektronisches Tagebuchtraining (TBT), das auf eine Korrektur der Symptominterpretationen abzielt, verbessern lässt. Zu diesem Zweck wurden 35 Patienten mit Hypochondrie randomisiert zwei Interventionsformen zugewiesen: Gruppe 1 (N = 16) erhielt vor der KVT (16 Einzelsitzu…
Stepping into others’ shoes: a cognitive perspective on target audience orientation in written translation
2014
This paper suggests what might allow translators to orient themselves towards their target audience in the translation process. To shed light on translators’ ability to put themselves into their target audience’s shoes, I adopt a cognitive perspective by drawing on current findings from psychology, cognitive science and neuroscience. I depart from the notion of target audience as applied to written translation. Aspects to this concept and the terminology of audience in translation studies are briefly discussed. Then I turn to translation process research to examine two empirical studies and one theoretical paper for insights into researching translators’ target audience orientation. Next, I…
