Profound change in social structure has repercussions for social and political orientations. Social scientists have documented rising political alienation and polarization as well as the surfacing of new cleavages that challenge existing systems of resource allocation and representation. Relating these trends to underlying shifts in social structure poses a critical puzzle. How can we reconcile the notion of a dissolving ‘individualized’ social structure or the end of a ‘politicized’ social structure with humans’ propensity to attach themselves to groups and with current social and political conflicts?Social structural change and its connection to social and political orientations is more complex than research has commonly acknowledged. Established concepts of status inconsistency and cross-cuttingness produce contradictory predictions regarding the internalization of social structure and the prospects of social cohesion and political stability. RISS aims to resolve and settle this contradiction.The RISS research unit brings together scholars of social structure with political sociologists and proposes a fresh view. Whereas the social structure has changed dramatically, it retains its power to shape the life and orientations of individuals. In order to grasp the social and political transformation of our times, we need to take a closer look at these new social structures and understand how they shape the views, beliefs and preferences of individuals.The key to this understanding is to view social structure as fundamentally multidimensional where numerous social positions combine in intricate ways. Scholars have focused on single dimensions including education, socio-economic status, gender relations as well as migration and ethnic diversity. What we lack, is an understanding of how changes in these dimensions combine to produce reconfigurations in the current social structure. We also need to grasp how individuals internalize and make sense of these reconfigurations, especially new combinations of formerly disconnected social positions. And we must learn how these changes affect individual and collective behaviors and outcomes.We aim to establish a multidimensional conceptualization of social-structural change and develop innovative empirical strategies to capture this complexity. The promise of our approach lies in the ability to build richer theories of how the social structure shapes individual and collective orientations and outcomes and, ultimately, in a better understanding of our troubled times.

社会结构的深刻变化对社会和政治取向产生了影响。社会科学家已经记录了政治疏远和两极分化的上升，以及对现有资源分配和代表制度的新分解的浮出水面。将这些趋势与社会结构的潜在转变联系起来带来了一个关键的难题。我们如何调和消散的“个性化”社会结构的概念，或者与人类的“政治化”社会结构的终结，将自己与当前的社会和政治冲突相关联？社会结构的变革及其与社会和政治取向的联系更为复杂。确定的地位不一致和交叉彻底的概念会产生有关社会结构内在化以及社会凝聚力和政治稳定的前景的矛盾预测。里斯（Riss）旨在解决和解决这一矛盾。RISS研究部门将社会结构的学者与政治社会学家和建议融合在一起，并提出了新的观点。尽管社会结构发生了巨大变化，但它保留了塑造个人生活和方向的力量。为了掌握我们这个时代的社会和政治转变，我们需要仔细研究这些新的社会结构，并了解它们如何塑造个人的观点，相信和偏好。这种理解的关键是将社会结构视为从根本上具有多维的社会地位，其中许多社会地位与复杂的方式结合在一起。学者们专注于单个维度，包括教育，社会经济地位，性别关系以及移民和种族多样性。我们所缺乏的是了解这些维度的变化如何结合起来以在当前社会结构中产生重新配置的一种理解。我们还需要掌握个人如何在内部化并理解这些重新配置，尤其是以前断开社会立场的新组合。我们必须学习这些变化如何影响个人和集体行为和结果。我们旨在建立社会结构变革的多维概念化，并制定创新的经验策略来捕捉这种复杂性。我们方法的承诺在于能够建立更丰富的理论，即社会结构如何塑造个人和集体取向和结果，并最终更好地理解我们的陷入困境时代。
