项目摘要

Hereby I request an extension of an expiring project about the subjective status insecurity of the middle class. Its leading assumption is that the middle class reacts especially sensitive to objective threats to their status that are caused by institutional changes in the labour market, in social policy, and in firm-internal pay schemes. To test this thesis, we have conducted a computer-assisted web survey among 3.262 individuals that are part of the labour force. As part of this, we have developed three innovative measurement tools: an index for measuring subjective status insecurity, scenarios with indirect modelling of behavioural consequences, and a quasi-experimental vignette design to measure ideas about re-complementarisation. Our most important result is that members of the middle class react to the quasi-experimentally modelled threat to status with higher status insecurity than members of the upper and lower classes. These preliminary findings support the thesis of a particular sensitivity of the middle class. At the same time, we find clues that the respondents see the combination of an open labour market and high social security in the case of unemployment as functionally equivalent to the institutional status quo.During the extension phase, we want to deepen the analyses of the connection between an objective threat to status, subjective status insecurity, and social stratification. We particularly want to test how volatile or persistent status insecurity is over time and how changes in the institutional and household-specific context affect this. For this, we want to use data from a follow-up survey in which 73 percent of the respondents from the first wave participated. This second wave was not intended in the original project design. It is the result of a change in the mode of our survey from a telephone to an online survey due to methodological reasons. This follow-up survey offers us the major opportunity to examine the effect of changes in the employment context on feelings of insecurity.In addition, we want to analyse if the successful coping with a status-threatening event in the past can contribute to the development of resilience towards status insecurity in individuals. Finally, we want to determine in what way ideas about re-complementarisation in the field of labour market and social policy can be traced back to certain ideas of justice, and if the inclusion of an individual in social networks can reduce or even increase status insecurity.

在此，我请求延长一个即将到期的关于中产阶级主观地位不安全感的项目。它的主要假设是，中产阶级对劳动力市场、社会政策和公司内部薪酬制度的制度变化所造成的对其地位的客观威胁的反应特别敏感。为了验证这一论点，我们进行了一项计算机辅助的网络调查，其中3262人是劳动力的一部分。作为其中的一部分，我们开发了三种创新的测量工具：用于测量主观地位不安全感的指数，行为后果间接建模的场景，以及用于测量再互补思想的准实验性小插曲设计。我们最重要的结果是，中产阶级的成员的反应，以更高的地位不安全感比上层和下层阶级的准实验建模的地位威胁。这些初步发现支持了中产阶级特别敏感的论点。与此同时，我们也发现了一些线索，即被调查者认为开放的劳动力市场和失业时的高社会保障的结合，在功能上等同于制度现状。在扩展阶段，我们希望深化对客观地位威胁、主观地位不安全感和社会分层之间关系的分析。我们特别想测试随着时间的推移，地位不安全感的波动性或持续性如何，以及制度和家庭特定环境的变化如何影响这一点。为此，我们想使用一项后续调查的数据，其中73%的第一波受访者参与了调查。这第二波并不是最初项目设计的目的。这是由于方法上的原因，我们将调查方式从电话调查改为网上调查的结果。这项后续调查为我们提供了一个重要的机会来研究就业环境的变化对不安全感的影响。此外，我们还想分析过去成功应对威胁地位的事件是否有助于个人对地位不安全感的恢复力的发展。最后，我们想确定在劳动力市场和社会政策领域的再互补的想法可以追溯到某些正义的想法，如果一个人在社交网络的包容性可以减少甚至增加地位不安全。
