Social Closure and Hierarchization: Contextual Conditions and Accumulations of Unequal Life-Chances Across the Life Course (A01)

A1考察了个体异质性在层化过程中的非认知特征、中介测量以及风险和时间偏好中的作用。该项目将分析a)非认知特征如何影响青春期和成年早期的生活机会，b)不同的社会背景和国家背景如何影响非认知特征的发展和分层，c)早期生命过程中的哪些时间跨度在非认知特征的发展中特别重要，d)社会起源和后来的生命过程之间的联系是否由非认知特征中介和调节。在经验上，A1项目将基于德国社会经济小组(SOEP)、德国家庭(FID)和收入动态小组研究(PSID)的家庭面板数据进行纵向和多层次的分析。

A1 investigates the role of individual heterogeneities in form of noncognitive traits, measures of agency, and risk and time preferences in the stratification process. The project will analyze a) how noncognitive traits affect life chances during adolescence and early adulthood, b) how different social contexts and the national context impact the development and stratification of noncognitive traits, c) which time spans during the early life course are particularly important in the develop-ment of noncognitive traits, d) whether the link between social origin and later life course out-comes is mediated and moderated by noncognitive traits. Empirically, project A1 will apply longi-tudinal and multilevel analyses based on household panel data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), Families in Germany (FID), and the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID).
