Happy to share my new study, publ. in Social Science Research 🎉 Bottom line: Yes, adolescents use their phones a lot 🤳 But I find no support for the notion that this use displaces reading, homework, hobbies, physical act., sleep... Instead: Changing media preferences 📺 ->📱. doi.org/10.1016/j.ss...

🚨 New preprint out We propose the ContraIndex, a novel tool to measure contraceptive labor and returns. Why does it matter? Bc both partners benefit from contraception - but women bear the cost: from choosing methods to managing side effects. 📊 Read ➡️ doi.org/10.31235/osf... @kfirl.bsky.social

#Homeownership #WealthInequality #SocialMobility #Housing #Sociology 🏠 Who gets to own a home – and why? New study by @jaschadraeger.bsky.social @nrmllr.bsky.social and klauspforr.bsky.social shows: ➡️ #Inheritances & family gifts – even just expected – strongly influence who buys property.

For once a little bit of self promotion: interesting paper on M mediation of parental social class via wealth transfers on homeownership by @jaschadraeger.bsky.social @nrmllr.bsky.social and myself www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New pre-print on parental separation, educational inequalities, and GxE! @fabriberna.bsky.social and I ask: Why do high-SES children experience a more pronounced negative impact of parental separation compared to low-SES children? Answer below 👇🏼 Feedback is more than welcome!

The decrease in hormonal (vs. non-hormonal) contraception among contracepting women can be found for three different birth cohorts using the pairfam data: projectcontraception.github.io/posts/2023-1... @theresanutz @katrinfirl @tagesschau.bsky.social #sociology #socialinequality #genderinequality

The proportion of contracepting women using hormone-free contraception has more than doubled in Germany in the 2010s. Check out our first blog post about our contraception project: https//projectcont... @theresanutz @katrinfirl #contraceptivebehavior #sociology #socialinequality #genderinequality

💥New in Sociological Science💥 Many researchers use panel data to trace outcomes over life events. They often estimate YEARLY dummies – which throws away valuable info on the exact MONTHS of events & interviews. We show how to turn the MONTHLY info into insight: 👉"There's More in the Data!"👈

Greater variance in male intelligence test scores can be explained by sex-biased test design: “question selection procedures, when used to design a test for males, increase variance of male relative to female scores…other explanations are needed to explain male overrepresentation in elite positions”

Bad news for all preparing sunday breakfast, thinking: It's your turn, hun! We show that even in contexts of enormous policy change, progress toward a less gender-typical division of housework has been slow and rather small. Published in Journal of Marriage and the Family doi.org/10.1111/jomf...

Last paper of our research project on "parental wealth and educational decisions" now out in Sociological Science. Takeaway: Wealth effects depend on how wealth is operationalized. Net worth might not be a good choice. @JaschaDraeger @KlausPforr #sociology sociologicalscience.com/articles-v10...
