“…Based on the aforementioned criteria, we included eight study programs that had administered the BFI-10: (1) the German General Social Survey (ALLBUS; GESIS, 2011a, 2011b, 2015); (2) the German Internet Panel (GIP; Blom et al, 2015); (3) the German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES, 2019a, 2019b, 2022); (4) the GESIS Panel (Bosnjak et al, 2018; GESIS, 2022); (5) the “Older Adults” sample of the Jena Study on Social Change and Human Development (Silbereisen et al, 2008; see also Lechner & Rammstedt, 2015); (6) the adult cohort of the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS; Blossfeld & von Maurice, 2011; NEPS Network, 2021); as well as the German surveys within the framework of (7) the Study on Health and Retirement (SHARE; Bergmann et al, 2019; Börsch-Supan, 2022; Börsch-Supan et al, 2013) and (8) the World Values Survey (WVS; Ingelhart et al, 2018). Whereas most of these programs focus on the general adult population, SHARE, and the Jena Study focus on older adults (see Table 1 for an overview of the different programs and samples).…”

The assessment of the Big Five personality domains is standard practice in most large-scale social surveys nowadays. The instrument most widely used for this purpose is the BFI-10, an ultra-short measure assessing each Big Five domain with two items. Recent studies have identified issues with the structural properties of the BFI-10, especially its factorial validity. To investigate whether these issues arise from the instrument itself or biases due to translation or sampling, we examined the extent to which the structural properties of the BFI-10 in terms of descriptive statistics, intercorrelations, reliability, and factorial validity vary when keeping the target population and language constant. Results revealed that, across 16 independent samples (total N ~ 60,000) from eight large-scale surveys representative of the adult population in Germany, the structural properties of the BFI-10 were (a) largely consistent and (b) mostly adequate. Most importantly, in nearly all samples, patterns of loading were congruent with an idealized Big Five structure, thereby supporting factorial validity. These results demonstrate that the structural properties of the BFI-10 are highly stable and replicable in large-scale samples. Especially given its brevity, the BFI-10 can thus be regarded as adequate for use in large-scale survey settings.

“…The GGSS is realized by the Leibniz-Institute for the Social Sciences in Mannheim and Cologne (GESIS). The scientific use files are available from the GESIS (2012, 2015a, 2019a) data archive. The 1998 survey used for multivariate analysis comprised 2,265 eligible voters.…”

Voting behavior as social action: Habits, norms, values, and rationality in electoral participation

The aim of the study is to contribute, theoretically and empirically, to an improved understanding of the social processes and mechanisms generating a citizen’s decisions regarding electoral participation. It seeks to contribute to a solution for the legendary paradox of electoral participation based on formalized social-psychological dual process theories by integrating the Weberian typology of rationalities and related social action into a comprehensive explanation of voter turnout. The empirical analysis, based on two German surveys carried out in 1998 and 2017, reveals that the instrumentally rational voting (purposively rational action) emphasized in the classic rational choice theories used in economic electoral research is rather a special case among modal types of action such as habitual voting (traditional action), norm-related voting (norm-guided action), and voting due to value rationality (value-rational action). Most voters vote out of habit and based on norms and values, while purely purposive-rational voting is more of a special case.

Politische und gesellschaftliche Einstellungen: soziokulturelle Grundlagen von Selbstorganisation

In diesem Kapitel soll auf der Personenebene der Engagierten in Deutschland ein Einblick in die politischen und gesellschaftlichen Einstellungen gegeben werden, die ihrem Engagement zugrunde liegen. Hierzu gehören beispielsweise Wertorientierungen, religiöse Weltanschauungen, demokratische Orientierungen sowie auch die Wahlbeteiligung der Engagierten. Auch Informationen darüber, in welchen gesellschaftlichen und persönlichen Bereichen sich die Engagierten Sorgen machen und wie zufrieden sie allgemein mit ihrem Leben sind, können Aufschluss über die Motivationen der Engagierten geben. Als Datengrundlage dienen der Deutsche Freiwilligensurvey (FWS), die Allgemeine Bevölkerungsumfrage der Sozialwissenschaften (ALLBUS) und das Sozio-oekonomische Panel (SOEP). Den drei Erhebungen liegen unterschiedliche definitorische Konzepte freiwilligen Engagements zugrunde. Während im FWS ein weit gefasster Begriff des Engagements zu finden ist, der auch Engagement, das unabhängig von Organisationen und formalen Ehrenämtern ist, einbezieht, erfolgt im ALLBUS eine Eingrenzung auf Organisationen und Verbände, in denen ein freiwilliges Engagement ausgeführt werden kann. Die Befragten können des Weiteren explizieren, ob es sich dabei um ein Ehrenamt handelt. Im SOEP steht schließlich das klassische Ehrenamt mit einer institutionellen Anbindung an Vereine, Verbände oder Soziale Dienste im Fokus. Die Ergebnisse in diesem Kapitel sind im Hinblick auf diese konzeptionellen Unterschiede zu betrachten.
