After midlife - a fourth re-survey of former 16 years old high school students on life success and success interpretation

德国高中生在 16 岁时接受了首次采访，并在 20、43、56 和 66 岁时再次接受采访，了解他们的人生历程和世界观。重新采访的主题是青年时期的身份形成、中年时期的身份保持，以及老年时期的身份形成——在退休和“空巢”的新条件下。与前几波一样，第四波由 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft（德国研究协会）（DFG-Az.BI 683/3-1 和 ME 577/18-1）资助，为期 36 个月，从 2018 年 1 月 3 日到 2021 年 2 月 28 日。 由于不可归咎于团队的情况（下文第 1.1.4 节详细介绍），项目工作已大大延迟。由于尚无法建立总共五项小组调查的综合数据集，因此尚无法处理原始提案中概述的实质性问题。在更新提案中，项目主管可以按照原提案中的计划进行分析，两名项目助理可以完成有关“老年自我观”和“老年身份”的论文。

German high school students, which were first interviewed at the age of 16, have been re-interviewed at 20, 43, 56 and 66 about their life course and their worldviews. The topic of the re-interviews was identity formation during youth, identity keeping during mid-life, and again identity formation in old age – under the new conditions of retirement and an “empty nest”. Just as the former waves, the fourth one has been funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research association) (DFG-Az. BI 683/3-1 und ME 577/18-1) for 36 months from 01/03/2018 to 28/2/2021. Due to circumstances not attributable to the team, which are presented in detail in section 1.1.4 below, the project work has been considerably delayed. As a comprehensive data set for the – in total – five panel surveys could not yet be built up, the substantive questions outlined in the original proposal could not yet be dealt with. In the Renewal Proposal the project directors can do the planned analyses as outlined in the original proposal, and the two project assistants can finish their dissertations about “old age self-views” and “old age identity”.
