This study addresses the question whether these variations are related to differences in immigrant integration policies and welfare policies across Europe. We argue that both policies need to be considered simultaneously, given the development of integration policies within historical frameworks of pre-existing welfare regimes, and expect that policies may set intergroup norms discouraging exclusion of ethno-religious immigrants. Additionally, we hypothesize that exclusionism-reducing impact of governmental policies might be weaker for people in economic precarious positions as compared to their more privileged counterparts, because people in such precarious positions face more intergroup competition. Using data from the European Social Survey, enriched with information on immigrant integration policies and welfare policies related to the labour market, our findings show that exposure to more welcoming integration policies is substantially and significantly negatively associated with exclusion of ethno-religious immigrants. However, this is not the case for welfare policies: although we also find a negative association with exclusion of ethno-religious immigrants, it is non-significant. Moreover, we find that the negative association between exposure to more welcoming integration policies and exclusion of immigrants is equally strong for people in precarious situations versus those in non-precarious situations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"132 ","pages":"Article 103251"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145003547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite such high-profile tension, many Americans remain disengaged from politics. Using Identity Theory in sociology, we account for both rising polarization and persistent disengagement by turning attention to <em>internal</em> party dynamics. Partisan politics operates differently, depending on the political makeup of commonplace fixed social groups like sets of friends and coworkers. Partisan politics creates relatable common ground when social groups are politically homogeneous but creates tension in politically diverse small groups. Under these conditions, social similarity fosters more political activity generally (both normative and extreme), while deterring political engagement among those in politically diverse groups. Analyses of an original quota-sampled survey and a representative panel survey support expectations. Political homogeneity strengthens political identities, which produces more role-typical behaviors and extreme attitudes.

This “school profiling” is suggested to drive school segregation by socio-economic status (SES). Since most existing research has focused on U.S. charter schools and lacks large-scale student-level data, the connection between profiling and SES-based school sorting remains unclear. This study addresses this gap by focusing on the case of the Netherlands, a country known for its high school autonomy and freedom of school choice. I use population-wide register data from over 110,000 students (aged 11–12), linked to novel data on school profiling. The findings reveal social stratification in access to schools with distinctive profiles, with higher-SES students having access to a more diverse pool of schools. Furthermore, conditional logit models show evidence of self-sorting by SES for some profiles: for instance, schools with progressive learning concepts are less popular among lower-SES students, while higher-SES students are comparatively less likely to choose labor market-themed schools. These SES disparities, however, are modest and not always in the expected direction. Overall, findings underscore the role of access disparities in shaping SES-based sorting, next to differential preferences for schooling.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"132 ","pages":"Article 103239"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144827541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We applied a difference-in-differences framework to estimate the causal effect of track placement, drawing on individual-level panel data from the German National Educational Panel Study. The longitudinal design allowed us to observe students at multiple time points: before, during, and after their transition into upper-secondary education. We found that students exhibited different levels of political interest before their upper-secondary tracks, and the academic track had no substantive nor significant causal effect on the development of political interest. We conclude that educational tracking at the upper-secondary level did not actively contribute to the differentiated development of individual political interest and had negligible impact on altering preexisting disparities; its role in shaping civic dispositions might be more limited than often assumed.

This research broadly shows that Democrats and Republicans have grown more likely to disagree about many social and political issues, as evinced by increasing partisan differences in responses to attitude questions on surveys over time. This paper argues that this work may be grounded in an assumption that no longer holds water: that survey items measure the same constructs equivalently when administered to Democrats and Republicans. Rather, due to recent changes in the nature of partisan identity, members of the two parties have developed distinct processes of meaning-making, such that they can be prompted with the same survey questions, yet understand them in dissimilar ways that inhibit the comparability of their responses. This paper evaluates this hypothesis using measurement invariance tests of a wide range of scales administered on surveys conducted between 1992 and 2021. Results show that many attitude questions collected on recent surveys do not measure the same constructs equivalently among Democrats and Republicans. These findings suggest that estimates of the changing gap in social and political attitudes between the parties may be biased by partisan meaning-making, which differentially affects the measurement qualities of survey items in each group. More broadly, they imply a growing cultural divide between the parties, demarcated by a diminishing set of shared meanings about the world.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"132 ","pages":"Article 103237"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144757723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study fills this gap and assesses how reliable people are when they report their parents’ or their child’s educational attainment. We find that both parents and children tend to underestimate the educational distance between themselves and their family members, thus inflating estimates of educational reproduction. This trend is larger when children act as proxy-reporters. Another limitation of using children’s proxy-reported information is the number of missing answers, which is lower when parents are asked to proxy-report their child’s education.

First, men, on average, exhibit a greater aversion to female breadwinning compared to women. Second, in countries with greater macro-level gender equality, both men and women are less averse to female breadwinning. Third, in countries with higher rates of men’s unemployment, there is a wider gender gap in aversion to female breadwinning. This trend is primarily driven by men’s heightened aversion to female breadwinning in such countries, which suggests men may respond to economic uncertainty by overemphasizing their roles as primary breadwinners to bolster their endangered masculinity.

Since the 1970s the rising income inequality in the US relative to Israel, an indicator of greater returns to skills in the former, implies the intensification of the positive selectivity of Israeli immigrants in the US in recent decades, especially among the highly skilled. To test this hypothesis, we compared the education and income of four successive cohorts of Israeli immigrants relative to two benchmark groups—the Israeli population from which immigrants were drawn and the US population they joined. The results, based on analyzing Israeli Labor Force Surveys and US Census and ACS data from 1980, 1990, 2000, and 2015, support the hypothesis: the gaps in educational levels between successive cohorts of ‘recent’ Israeli-born Jewish immigrants (those who resided in the US for no more than 5 years) and the Israel-born Jewish population from which they were drawn, grew larger over time. Income analyses relative to US benchmark groups, both income ratios and quintile regressions, suggest that the labor market skills of successive cohorts of Israeli immigrants in the US have improved, not only on education, but also on some unobserved traits enhancing income. Moreover, as expected by the theory, the rise in the selectivity of successive cohorts of Israeli immigrants was the greatest among the most skilled immigrants—those located at the 90th percentile of their cohort's income distribution and aspiring to join the very top of income receivers in the US.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"131 ","pages":"Article 103229"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144695238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
