项目摘要

Movement across borders is considered to be crucial for an increase in life chances. During the last decade, the life chances of mobile populations within the European Union (EU), a space that offers freedom of mobility, have become a vital field of research. Scholars frequently point out that not all migrants benefit equally from these increased mobility opportunities; instead, differences in life chances proceed along heterogeneities, among which the most important are legal status, gender, ethnicity, and class. However, such studies predominantly investigate only certain categories of people (advantaged or disadvantaged), supranational social policies, or social positions of migrants in relation to either the immigration or the emigration country. Thus, we know little about how mobility patterns and other heterogeneities influence social positions within the transnational social space of the EU in terms of their objective and subjective socioeconomic status. Also unexplored are the social mechanisms that underlie how and under what terms migrants, who rely on more than one national frame of reference, would evaluate their social position according to their spatial mobility trajectory and other heterogeneities. In this project, we will address these crucial links by pursuing three main objectives: (1) an analysis of the spatial mobility trajectories of migrants characterized by different heterogeneities; (2) the linking of spatial mobility trajectories to social positions measured in terms of socioeconomic status, taking into account perceptions and evaluations by mobile persons themselves; and (3) an examination of how mechanism of social comparisons shape subjective evaluation of social positions. We will investigate the function of social comparisons in analyzing the reference groups that people use to make comparisons. All these issues will be explored by means of a sequential, mixed-methods research design. Data from the IAB-SOEP Migration Sample, which consists of migrants in Germany, will be analyzed to determine typical mobility trajectories and to study the socioeconomic status of mobile people and their level of satisfaction within different life domains. Complementary qualitative interviews will be conducted with selected SOEP respondents and with people who have not migrated. These interviews will allow us to reveal the interpretations and meanings individuals attach to spatial mobility and their social position over time. Our overall objective is to explore the role of social comparisons as the main social mechanism involved in the nexus of spatial mobility and social positions.

跨界流动被认为是增加生活机会的关键。在过去的十年中，欧洲联盟（欧盟）内的移动的人口的生活机会，一个空间，提供自由流动，已成为一个重要的研究领域。学者们经常指出，并非所有移民都能平等地从这些增加的流动机会中受益;相反，生活机会的差异沿着异质性，其中最重要的是法律的地位、性别、种族和阶级。然而，这类研究主要只调查某些类别的人（穷人或处境不利者）、超国家的社会政策或移民相对于移入国或移出国的社会地位。因此，我们知道很少的流动模式和其他异质性如何影响欧盟的跨国社会空间内的社会地位，在他们的客观和主观的社会经济地位。同样没有探讨的是，移徙者依赖不止一个国家的参照系，他们如何以及在何种条件下根据其空间流动轨迹和其他异质性来评估其社会地位，其背后的社会机制是什么。本课题将通过以下三个主要目标来解决这些关键的联系：（1）分析具有不同异质性的移民的空间流动轨迹;（2）考虑到移动的人自己的看法和评价，将空间流动轨迹与以社会经济地位衡量的社会地位联系起来;（3）社会比较机制如何影响社会地位的主观评价。我们将研究社会比较在分析人们用来进行比较的参照群体中的作用。所有这些问题将通过一个连续的，混合方法的研究设计进行探讨。将分析由德国移民组成的IAB-SOEP移民样本的数据，以确定典型的流动轨迹，并研究移动的人的社会经济地位及其在不同生活领域的满意度。将与选定的SOEP答复者和未移徙者进行补充定性访谈。这些访谈将使我们能够揭示个人对空间流动性及其社会地位的解释和意义。我们的总体目标是探索社会比较的作用，作为空间流动性和社会地位的关系所涉及的主要社会机制。
