📠 New paper out! It explores how gendered career patterns among couples around first birth intersect with changes in individual poverty risk, i.e. under the assumption of no income pooling. Read it OA here: doi.org/10.1016/j.al...

Despite popular perception, there is no clear evidence of a broad rightward shift among young men. New study by @nennstielr.bsky.social & @hudde.bsky.social explores political divides btw young men and women - looking back as far as 1990 and using data from 32 EU countries. tinyurl.com/389b8mmx

❌ “No” still isn’t heard equally. Drs. @nennstielr.bsky.social and @saraalice.bsky.social’s #Socius study using #Eurobarometer shows men across the EU are less likely to reject “no means yes.” Rejection rises with #GenderEquality and stronger #ConsentLaws. Read: doi.org/10.1177/2378...

🚨 New paper out! 🚨 We use Eurobarometer data to explore how strongly people across the EU reject the “no means yes” rape myth. Gender gaps persist, but shrink with higher gender equality and “only yes means yes” laws. w/ @saraalice.bsky.social l (@unibe.ch) 👉 doi.org/10.1177/23780231251351676

🚨 We analyze gender gaps in STEM aspirations across educational pathways in Switzerland. Gender gaps are larger in vocational (VET) routes than in academic pathways — and existing theories explain less of these gaps among students aspiring VET. 👉 doi.org/10.1186/s40461-025-00187-3

🚨 New paper published in RSSM @isa-rc28.bsky.social🚨 We explore how gender differences in occupational status have evolved in Switzerland across five decades, as women have attained increasingly higher educational qualifications. w/ Rolf Becker (@unibe.ch) 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.rs...

🧠🚀 What happens when early-career social scientists use ChatGPT for academic writing? Clearer and more coherent text - but no boost to depth, originality, rigour, or literature use, according to our field experiment. 📄👇

HOW IMPORTANT IS SOCIAL BACKGROUND FOR SES? A major issue in social stratification/class mobility research is the effect of one's social origins (or class background) on socioeconomic outcomes. Our new paper tackles this question using two research designs. Preview: It's not that important. [1/9]

Paper on the ideology gender gap with Eurobarometer data from @gesis.org by @nennstielr.bsky.social and @hudde.bsky.social . Most interesting finding: while young women are becoming more left-wing in 11 countries, in 5 of them young men are also becoming more right-wing (DK, FI, SE, FR and LT)

Another great reason to submit manuscripts to @europeansocreview.bsky.social 🙃

🚨 Are young women becoming more left-wing & young men more right-wing? We analyzed 32 European countries (1990–2023). 📊 Some show growing gaps—others don’t. 📊 Gaps tend to be bigger where gender equality is higher. w/ @hudde.bsky.social 👉 doi.org/10.1093/esr/...

interesting paper by @nennstielr.bsky.social and @hudde.bsky.social on the gender divide in the left-right self-placement. There is no clear trend across all countries, increases in some countries, in others stability academic.oup.com/esr/advance-...

🧠🎓 Signal or substance? What do employers really see in a university degree? Our new paper in @europeansocreview.bsky.social dives into “sheepskin effects” using a factorial survey experiment. With @jpheisig.bsky.social & @thijsbol.bsky.social. academic.oup.com/esr/advance-...
