Parental Background and Earnings: German Evidence on Direct and Indirect Relationships

SummaryUsing data from the German Socioeconomic Panel (GSOEP), the study analyzes the direct and indirect effects of parental background on employees' earnings. To examine indirect effects we estimate the determinants of the employees' years of schooling. In a second step, we run wage regressions to examine direct effects. Our results suggest that the direct and indirect effects of parental background driving the intergenerational correlation of socioeconomic status are complex. It is not only important to differentiate between mother's and father's education. It is also important to take into account other parental characteristics such as maternal labor force participation and the parents' occupational status and fertility. Moreover, we find that interaction effects play an important role. The returns to schooling depend on the employees' parental background.

Using Data

This chapter explores the effects of perceived criminal injustice on voting behavior as well as on other important outcomes. Using data from the 2006 ANES Pilot Study, the chapter begins by examining the measurement properties of a set of survey items tapping perceptions of criminal injustice and then incorporates those items into a model of voting behaviors, controlling for demographic characteristics, political efficacy, political ideology, and political partisanship. It reveals that perceived criminal injustice has systematic and theoretically meaningful demographic and attitudinal correlates. In addition, these analyses demonstrate that perceived injustice has both direct and indirect effects on turnout and vote choice, above and beyond the expected standard predictors.

Using Data

The present study examines the effects of different forms of national attachment – namely blind patriotism (unquestioned attachment to one’s country), constructive patriotism (critical approach to in-group practices for the improvement of the country, Schatz, Staub, & Lavine, 1999), and collective narcissism (unrealistic beliefs about the in-group’s “greatness”, Golec de Zavala, Cichocka, Eidelson, & Jayawickreme, 2009) – on support for aggressive acts against low (immigrants) and high status (Germans) out-groups, using data collected from a sample of 124 Greek men and women. Results showed that collective narcissism had indirect effects on support for aggressive acts against both immigrants and Germans, through its effects on blatant and subtle prejudice (Pettigrew & Meertens, 1995). Blind patriotism had both direct and indirect effects (through blatant prejudice) on support for aggressive acts against immigrants only, while constructive patriotism had a direct negative effect on support for aggressive acts against Germans only. The discussion focuses on how these different forms ofnational attachment affect intergroup relations, depending on out-group status.
