Hartz IV Generations? Fatalism and present time orientation in poor families

本研究将考察贫困家庭中的“现在时间取向”和“宿命论”在代际互动中的发展及其影响。关于贫困家庭中行动取向的代际传递，可以得出两个结论：第一，宿命论和“现在取向"作为贫困的典型解释模式，几乎得到了一致的表述。这些解释模式不仅与个人有关，而且与贫穷的代际延续有关。第二，社会化进程在家庭中作为一种关键的传播机制。尽管研究了社会化条件及其与后代的状况和态度的关系，但在日常家庭世界中的直接传播过程几乎不是主题。因此，一方面，缺少对家庭互动中取向的共同构成的调查，另一方面，缺少对解释模式的更详细的实证研究。因此，将与长期失业家庭和子女不是长期失业的家庭进行10次定性家庭讨论，使用顺序分析和客观解释方法，以重建行动方向的发展和影响。

In this project, the development and effects of present time orientation and fatalism in intergenerational interactions of poor families will be investigated.Two findings can be pointed out in relation to the intergenerational transmission of action orientations in poor families: First, fatalism and present orientation as poverty-typical patterns of interpretation are stated almost unanimously. These interpretation patterns are relevant not only for the individual but also intergenerational perpetuation of poverty. Second, the socialization processes apply in the family as a key transmission mechanism. Both have not been studied in depth, yet: Although socialization conditions and their relation to the situation and the attitudes of future generations are studied the immediate processes of transmission in the everyday world of families are hardly the subject. So, missing the investigation of the common constitution of the orientations in familial interactions and, on the other hand, is a more detailed empirical study of the patterns of interpretation pending. Hence, 10 qualitative family discussions with long-term unemployed families and with families whose children are not long-term unemployed will be conducted, using sequence-analytical and objective-hermeneutic methods to reconstruct the development and impact of the action orientations.
