WiSe 17/18: Attitudes towards Social Inequality
Zsófia S. Ignácz
Kommentar
How do people in a better paid job justify the unequal distribution of resources? What determines whether an unequal payment is considered fair? Why are Americans more likely than Swedes or Germans to view their society as unequal? Why do Scandinavians prefer to live in a more equal society than most other Europeans? Do citizens of the new EU member states exhibit different attitudes towards social inequality than citizens of other European countries?
These and similar questions are the focus of this research placement, in which students will develop and conduct their own quantitative research project. Students will learn to develop research questions and hypotheses on their own, and then empirically answer these questions by applying basic quantitative methods to international survey data (ESS, WVS, or ISSP). These may include a variety of regression based methods, as well as factor analysis. Students can choose whether to work with SPSS or STATA.
After completing this research placement, students will be acquainted with current state-of-the-art research in the field of subjective inequality and empirical justice research. They will be qualified to identify gaps in previous research, derive their own research questions, and develop an innovative research design, that is well suited to answer their research question. During hands-on work in the computer lab, students will learn how to handle survey data for these specific purposes. Once completing their research report, students will be able to show their ability to present and document findings according to academic standards.
Basic knowledge of applied statistics is required and indispensable for a successful completion of the course!
