New Skills Unlocked
(Verlag Werner Hülsbusch, 2024)
Wie kommunizieren die »Lego«-Spiele mit uns ganz ohne Sprache? Spielen wir in »Die Sims« wirklich Gott, wie es die Werbung verspricht? Was macht historische Spiele authentisch und wie lenkt die Kamera unseren Blick auf Körper in Videospielen?
Diesen und noch vielen anderen Fragen geht der Sammelband nach und zeigt damit Verbindungen von Game Studies und fachwissenschaftlichen Perspektiven auf. Dafür werden Theorien, Methoden und Impulse aus den Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften und angrenzenden Gebieten (u.a. ...

Mental health and stress level of Ukrainians seeking psychological help online
(2023-11-04)
Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, 2022, more than 8 million Ukrainians have been displaced from their homes. Ukrainians exposed to armed conflict and migration are likely to have low levels of mental health status and seek help. We provide a uniform quantitative assessment of the mental health conditions of Ukrainians seeking help soon after the invasion and resettlement. We screen the mental well-being and psychological distress of 1165 refugees, migrants, internally displaced, and non-displaced ...

Adaption of the meat attachment scale (MEAS) to Germany: interplay with food neophobia, preference for organic foods, social trust and trust in food technology innovations
(2023-09-19)
Meat-based diets are still the norm, and vegans and vegetarians represent only a small minority of the population. A transition, respectively, behavioural change towards a diet with less meat can only occur by adopting a positive attitude towards dietary changes based on reasons and motivations. The main aim of this study is to apply the meat attachment scale (MEAS) in Germany in order to analyse if this construct is a barrier towards a diet with less meat in this country. For this purpose, the impact of meat attachment ...

Medicalizing disabled people’s emotions - Symptom of a dis/ableist society
(2023-12-11)
The theoretical - conceptual article at hand explores how emotional discourses shape social relations by specifically focusing on the medicalization of disabled - and chronically ill - people's emotions. Medicalization is a concept from medical sociology that describes medicine's expansion into non-medical life areas, for instance into the realm of emotions, sometimes in order to challenge this expansion. The emotions of disabled people are often presented as a medicalized problem, rather than recognizing their ...

The effects of social norms and observability on food choice
(2024-05-04)
People often adapt their behavior to the behavior of other people. We test with the help of an experiment whether this also applies to the choice of food and whether the sensitivity regarding others’ behavior increases when the food choice is observable. Participants in the experiment are first-year students who are confronted with different statements about the diets of students already enrolled and studying at the university. Participants then choose between vouchers for vegan, vegetarian, or meat-based foods, with ...

Leading in times of crisis and remote work: perceived consideration leadership behavior and its effect on follower work engagement
(2024-03-20)
Based on the job-demands resources theory, we examine whether leadership behavior affects followers' work engagement in the context of remote work during times of crisis, and how this effect can be explained. We focus on consideration leadership and its impact on followers' engagement under conditions of enforced remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therein, we examine the role of optimism as a potential mediator. To better understand how the impact of consideration leadership behavior unfolds during crises, we ...

Imagined publics - On the structural transformation of higher education and science. A post-Habermas perspective
(2023-10-03)
Referring to Habermas’ groundbreaking book ‘The structural transformation of the public sphere’, the article discusses contemporary transformations of higher education and science. In order to do so, in a first step a post-Habermas perspective will be developed, which implies two changes to the theoretical foundations guiding Habermas’ analysis: On the one hand, we are in the midst of a social transformation that has led to a pluralization of the understandings of the public – that is, publics. The representation of ...

Legal Struggles: A Social Theory Perspective on Strategic Litigation and Legal Mobilisation
(2023-03-08)
Social movements, NGOs and other political actors often mobilise the law for social change. Strategic litigation and collective legal mobilisation can be key instruments to face current political challenges like the climate crisis, human rights violations against refugees or the exploitation of workers along global supply chains. Although these struggles are framed by a societal context and have impacts on the political and juridical fields, the literature about legal mobilisation still does not decidedly engage with ...
