“…West German survey data starting in the early 1980s show that social policy and cultural norms concerning maternal employment were largely consistent. For example, shortly before German reunifi cation in 1990, almost threequarters of respondents in the FRG agreed with the statement that pre-school aged children are bound to suffer if their mothers go out to work (Berth 2019). For the GDR, a similar investigation of gender norms has not yet been possible because the surveys developed in the West were only conducted in East Germany after reunifi cation.…”

Research on the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) in the 1980s shows a high level of congruence between conservative social policy deterring mothers from employment and traditional societal gender norms. In contrast, little is known about whether people in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) agreed with the socialist idea of continuous full-time maternal employment. Based on unexploited GDR data from 1984 and a description of contemporary social policy, this study examines attitudes towards maternal employment, whether they were related to individual preferences for work or children, and their congruence with the socialist policy. The same questions are examined for the FRG using data from 1982. Results for the GDR indicate that one third of respondents rejected the socialist idea of maternal full-time employment, with individual work preferences being decisive for respondents’ assessments. In the FRG, there was a high degree of agreement with the gender norm of maternal non-employment, with this being dependent on individual preferences for children. These findings complement post-reunification evidence on East-West-differences in gender norms and provide insights into attitudes under Eastern European state socialism. * This article belongs to a special issue on “Demographic Developments in Eastern and Western Europe Before and After the Transformation of Socialist Countries”.

ZusammenfassungGewalterfahrungen in der Kindheit erhöhen das Risiko für psychische Probleme im Erwachsenenalter. Wie die frühe institutionelle Betreuung in der DDR mit Gewalterfahrungen assoziiert ist und Angst und Depression im Erwachsenenalter beeinflussen, ist wenig erforscht. Die Stichprobe umfasst N=1743 Personen, geboren in der DDR (1949–1983). Mit Multigruppen-Pfadanalysen (stratifiziert Männer/Frauen) untersuchen wir den Einfluss vorschulischer Betreuung über den Mediator Kindheitstrauma (CTS) auf Ängstlichkeit (GAD-7) und Depressivität (PHQ-9) im Erwachsenenalter. Es zeigen sich keine direkten Effekte der vorschulischen Betreuung auf Ängstlichkeit und Depressivität. Kindheitstrauma wirkt sich signifikant auf die aktuelle psychische Gesundheit aus (Frauen β=0,253–0,610; Männer β=0,092–0,439). Die Analysen legen nahe, dass es keinen Zusammenhang zwischen institutioneller Betreuung und Gewalterfahrungen in der Kindheit gibt. Weiterer Kontextfaktoren in Betreuung sind für die Entwicklung bevölkerungsweiter Präventionsstrategien, für die Sicherheit von Kindern von Bedeutung.
