While the concept of social capital has been widely adopted in social sciences, so far research on the (pre)structured shape of social capital by social origin is scarce. Our aim is to close this gap. Therefore, we use the network-as-capital approach by following the "position generator" and apply latent class analysis (LCA) and path modelling on the basis of the 2018 Austrian Social Survey. The dataset comprises a representative sample of the Austrian residential population aged 18 and older. Our findings show that the diversity of social capital, and access to networks of people in more highly ranked positions is strongly influenced by one's social background. The higher respondents assess their social origin, the greater the probability of being in this type of network. Furthermore, education and occupation have effects on membership in a class-specific network.}, language = {en} } @article{FritschLiedlPaulinger2020, author = {Fritsch, Nina-Sophie and Liedl, Bernd and Paulinger, Gerhard}, title = {Horizontal and vertical labour market movements in Austria}, series = {Current Sociology}, volume = {70}, journal = {Current Sociology}, number = {5}, publisher = {Sage Publ.}, address = {London}, issn = {0085-2066}, doi = {10.1177/0011392120969767}, pages = {720 -- 741}, year = {2020}, abstract = {The gendered division of occupations is a persistent characteristic of the Austrian labour market.

The authors therefore analyse gender-(un)typed horizontal occupational transitions and their influence on the vertical positioning, based on the Austrian Micro Census (2008-2018). The results reveal that gender-typed occupational transitions are regaining relevance and that the gender effect is reversing in that women increasingly leave gender-untyped occupations. The findings also demonstrate that this gender-typed horizontal movement yields a significant decline in occupational status for women, which even increases when women become mothers.

Following ideology critique, we argue that both marginalised and powerful social positions are embedded within a given ideology. As ideology is more than a mere set of attitudes or beliefs that social agents endorse or resist, situated agents and theo-rists cannot develop normative criteria that are not themselves situated.

However, the precise effects on urban households, taking social welfare and different family arrangements into account, as well as the precise effects on people with a migration background, remain unclear. Using the example of Vienna, this article examines immigration as a key dimension for social stratification. Although household income structures in Austria have remained comparatively stable over the past two decades, the middle-income share in Vienna (as the sole metropolis in Austria) has dramatically decreased. This predominantly affects people from migrant backgrounds. Using a comprehensive dataset (two waves, N = 16,700 participants, including N = 4,500 migrants), we systematically examine the role of (a) migration-specific and (b) education- and employment-related factors to explain the decline of middle-income migrants. The results of multinomial logistic regression and decomposition analyses suggest that transformations in the labour market is the main driving force. Changing migrant characteristics have counteracted this process. If today's migrants displayed similar showed characteristics (e.g., origin and educational levels) to those prevalent in the past decade, the ethnic stratification disparities would have been even stronger.}, language = {en} } @article{Verwiebe2021, author = {Verwiebe, Roland}, title = {Das Ende des Liberalismus wie wir ihn kannten?

Our findings confirm the prominence of individual privacy calculus in explaining intention to use and actual behavior.

We compare single households with other household types using data from the Viennese Quality of Life Survey (1995-2018). In our analysis, we consider overall life satisfaction as well as selected dimensions of subjective wellbeing (i.e., housing, financial situation, main activity, family, social contacts, leisure time). Our findings show that the subjective well-being of single households in Vienna is high and quite stable over time. While single households are found to have lower life satisfaction than two-adult households, this result is mainly explained by singles reporting lower satisfaction with family life. Compared to households with children, singles are more satisfied with their financial situation, leisure time and housing, which helps to offset the negative consequences of missing family ties (in particular with regard to single parents).}, language = {en} } @article{SeewannVerwiebe2020, author = {Seewann, Lena and Verwiebe, Roland}, title = {How do people interpret the value concept?}, series = {Journal of beliefs and values}, volume = {41}, journal = {Journal of beliefs and values}, number = {6}, publisher = {Routledge}, address = {Abingdon}, issn = {1469-9362}, doi = {10.1080/13617672.2019.1707748}, pages = {419 -- 432}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Value research has a long and extensive history of theoretical definitions and empirical investigations using large scale quantitative surveys.
