The project examines in a comparative perspective religious and non-religious worldviews of persons who are not able to sustain their lives on their own financial means and are therefore dependent on welfare benefits. This group of people is equipped with few material resources and restricted possibilities of social participation. They are particularly confronted with the risk of social exclusion and stigmatization and have to face the insecurities and contingencies of life. At the same time they depend on the solidarity of society. In traditional societies poor relief was in the responsibility of religious institutions. As the functional differentiation of society proceeded, this function was delegated to the welfare state, but in different ways and to a different degree shaped by the confessional traditions and religious social doctrines. Countries, where either the Catholic Church or Calvinistic respectively Puritan communities played an important role, only formed a fragmented welfare state, because poor relief was carried out by private donors and church or religious communities. Countries with a Lutheran state church developed a generous and universal social democratic welfare state, where poor relief became a public issue and was assigned to state institutions; claims for social provision are there based on citizenship. Catholic social doctrines in contrast are guided by the principle of subsidiarity, i.e. in the first place the family is responsible for the support of members in need. In the applied project it is explored, whether and in which manner the mentioned religious roots condensed in worldviews of recipients of social provisions in different countries. Interpretations of the world, the life and the social relations of support will be reconstructed: How is the receiving of compensations legitimized by the affected persons and which obligations do they connect with their situation? In a biographical perspective it will be analyzed how welfare benefit recipients cope with their situation in different contexts with varying activation policies. The analyses refer to the worldview-model as a heuristic concept, that allows to differentiate religious and non-religious interpretations of the world, the life and experiences of contingency. A qualitative approach will be used for analysis with biographical narrative interviews in order to reconstruct the accumulation of life experiences that condense to worldviews. On the other hand, group discussions will be conducted that allow to discern collective patterns of orientation. The project consists of three case studies comparing the following countries: Firstly Sweden as a country with a social democratic welfare state regime and the tradition of a Lutheran state church, secondly Great Britain with a liberal welfare state, an Anglican state church, a religious plurality and a considerable Puritan tradition, and thirdly the catholic Ireland with a recently developed welfare state.

该项目从比较的角度审查了无法靠自己的经济手段维持生活因而依赖福利津贴的人的宗教和非宗教世界观。这一群体的物质资源很少，参与社会的可能性有限。他们尤其面临社会排斥和污名化的风险，不得不面对生活的不安全感和突发事件。与此同时，它们依赖于社会的团结。在传统社会中，救济穷人是宗教机构的责任。随着社会功能分化的进行，这一功能被委托给福利国家，但以不同的方式和不同的程度受到教派传统和宗教社会学说的影响。在一些国家，天主教会或加尔文教派或清教徒分别发挥了重要作用，但它们只形成了一个支离破碎的福利国家，因为穷人救济是由私人捐助者和教会或宗教团体进行的。拥有路德国教的国家发展出一个慷慨和普遍的社会民主福利国家，救济穷人成为一个公共问题，并被分配给国家机构;社会供给的要求是基于公民身份的。相反，天主教的社会教义是以辅助性原则为指导的，即家庭首先负责支助有需要的成员。在应用项目中，它是探讨，是否以及以何种方式提到的宗教根源凝聚在世界观的接受者的社会规定在不同的国家。对世界、生活和社会支助关系的解释将得到重建：受影响者如何使接受赔偿合法化，赔偿与他们的处境有哪些联系？在传记的角度来看，它将分析如何福利受益人科普他们的情况在不同的情况下，不同的激活政策。这些分析将世界观模型作为一种启发式概念，可以区分宗教和非宗教对世界、生活和偶然性经验的解释。将采用定性方法进行分析，并采用传记叙事访谈，以重建浓缩为世界观的生活经验的积累。另一方面，将进行小组讨论，以便辨别集体取向模式。该项目包括三个案例研究，对以下国家进行比较：第一，瑞典是一个拥有社会民主福利国家制度和路德国教传统的国家;第二，大不列颠是一个自由福利国家，拥有圣公会国教、宗教多元化和相当多的清教徒传统;第三，信奉天主教的爱尔兰是一个最近发展起来的福利国家。
