  abstract  = {This study explores various measures of the ethnic makeup in a classroom and their relationship with student outcomes. We examine whether measures of ethnic diversity are related to achievement (mathematics, reading) and feeling of belonging with one's peers over and above commonly investigated composition characteristics. Multilevel analyses were based on data from a representative sample of 18,762 elementary school students in 903 classrooms. The proportion of minority students and diversity measures showed negative associations with student outcomes in separate models. Including diversity measures and the proportion of minority students, diversity of minority students mostly lost its significance. However, the results suggest that diversity measures may provide additional information over and above other classroom characteristics for some student outcomes. The various measures of diversity led to comparable results. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)},

  abstract  = {The present study addresses diagnostic competence of English language teachers at the end of lower secondary education. The 56 teachers assigned each of their respective students (N = 1 363) to a proficiency level of foreign language use according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The teachers' judgements were compared to CEFR proficiency level assignments estimated using data from a reading comprehension assessment of English as a foreign language. The consistency of proficiency level allocations was evaluated using level, differentiation, and ranking components. Beyond providing a description of diagnostic competence, the present study focuses on the influence of classroom halo effects on teachers' CEFR proficiency level judgements by comparing teacher judgments and students' English marks. A multilevel model of diagnostic competence is presented to assess to what extent the rank and level components are influenced by teachers' familiarity with and use of the CEFR guidelines when judging student proficiency.},

  abstract  = {Das Ziel dieser Studie war es die regionalen Unterschiede der Inanspruchnahme sekund{\"a}rpr{\"a}ventiver Leistungen in Deutschland auf Kreisebene zu analysieren. Hierbei sollte eine L{\"u}cke in der deutschen Forschung geschlossen werden, indem neben individuellen Faktoren auch {\"o}kologische Faktoren durch einen Mehrebenenansatz einbezogen wurden. Auf {\"o}kologischer Ebene wurde die Effekte der regionalen sozialen Deprivation, der Urbanisierung und der Arztdichte der ambulanten {\"A}rzte analysiert. Variablen auf Individualebene waren Geschlecht und Gesundheitsstatus. In der Studie wurden drei verschiedene Datenbanken miteinander verkn{\"u}pft. Zur Berechnung der regionalen sozialen Deprivation und der Urbanisierung wurden Daten von INKAR f{\"u}r alle 402 Kreise verwendet. Das Bundesarztregister lieferte die Datengrundlage zur Bestimmung der Arztdichte. Die Abrechnungsdaten aller Kassen{\"a}rztlichen Vereinigungen nach \S 295 SGB V lieferten die Zahlen f{\"u}r die Inanspruchnahme der spezifischen Pr{\"a}ventionsangebote als auch f{\"u}r Geschlecht und Gesundheitsstatus. Hierdurch war es m{\"o}glich eine Vollerhebung aller gesetzlich Krankenversicherten zwischen 50 und 55 Jahren durchzuf{\"u}hren, die 2013 einen Arzt aufgesucht haben (N = 6,6 Mio.). Die unabh{\"a}ngigen Variablen der regionalen sozialen Deprivation und Urbanisierung sowie die Kontrollvariable Gesundheitsstatus wurden mit Hilfe der Faktorenanalyse gebildet. Um die regionalen Unterschiede analysieren zu k{\"o}nnen, wurde eine hierarchische multivariate Regression durchgef{\"u}hrt. Rund 80\% aller sekund{\"a}rpr{\"a}ventiven Leistungen wurden von Frauen in Anspruch genommen. Ein schlechterer Gesundheitsstatus war mit einer h{\"o}heren Rate der Inanspruchnahme assoziiert. Die Ergebnisse weisen auf regionale Unterschiede hin, die sich nach Geschlecht unterscheiden wobei die unabh{\"a}ngigen Variablen nur kleine Effekte aufweisen. Entgegen der Hypothese war eine h{\"o}here regionale soziale Deprivation mit einer h{\"o}heren Inanspruchnahme bei M{\"a}nnern und Frauen assoziiert. Urbanit{\"a}t war bei M{\"a}nnern positiv und bei Frauen negativ mit der Inanspruchnahme assoziiert. Die Interaktion beider Variablen hat keinen Effekt auf M{\"a}nner aber einen negativen Effekt auf Frauen. Die Arztdichte wurde aus dem finalen statistischen Modell ausgeschlossen, da die Variable Multikollinearit{\"a}t aufwies. Bisherige Theorien sind nicht in der Lage die Ergebnisse zu erkl{\"a}ren, da sie bisherigen Forschungsergebnissen widersprechen. Zus{\"a}tzliche Berechnungen legen die Schlussfolgerung nahe, dass die herrschenden Ost-West-Unterschiede zu einer Konfundierung der Ergebnisse gef{\"u}hrt haben. Ber{\"u}cksichtigt man das Alter der Patienten, kann vermutet werden, dass die Sozialisation der Inanspruchnahme sekund{\"a}rpr{\"a}ventiver Leistungen in der DDR bis heute das Gesundheitsverhalten beeinflusst. Allerdings sind weitere Forschungen notwendig um die Gr{\"u}nde f{\"u}r die regionalen Unterschiede der Inanspruchnahme sekund{\"a}rpr{\"a}ventiver Leistungen besser zu verstehen.},

  abstract  = {People engage in a multitude of different relationships. Relatives, spouses, and friends are modestly to moderately similar in various characteristics, e.g., personality characteristics, interests, appearance. The role of psychological (e.g., skills, global appraisal) and social (e.g., gender, familial status) similarities in personal relationships and the association with relationship quality (emotional closeness and reciprocity of support) were examined in four independent studies. Young adults (N = 456; M = 27 years) and middle-aged couples from four different family types (N = 171 couples, M = 38 years) gave answer to a computer-aided questionnaire regarding their ego-centered networks. A subsample of 175 middle-aged adults (77 couples and 21 individuals) participated in a one-year follow-up questioning. Two experimental studies (N = 470; N = 802), both including two assessments with an interval of five weeks, were conducted to examine causal relationships among similarity, closeness, and reciprocity expectations. Results underline the role of psychological and social similarities as covariates of emotional closeness and reciprocity of support on the between-relationship level, but indicate a relatively weak effect within established relationships. In specific relationships, such as parent-child relationships and friendships, psychological similarity partly alleviates the effects of missing genetic relatedness. Individual differences moderate these between-relationship effects. In all, results combine evolutionary and social psychological perspectives on similarity in personal relationships and extend previous findings by means of a network approach and an experimental manipulation of existing relationships. The findings further show that psychological and social similarity have different implications for the study of personal relationships depending on the phase in the developmental process of relationships.},
