Enriched environments elicit brain plasticity in animals. In humans it is unclear which environment enriching. Living a city has been associated with increased amygdala activity stress paradigm, and being brought up pregenual anterior cingulate cortex (pACC) activity. We set out to identify geographical characteristics that constitute an enriched affecting the human brain. used structural equation modelling on 341 older adults establish three latent factors (amygdala, pACC dorsolateral...
A wildly discussed shortcoming of panel surveys is a potential bias arising from selective attrition. Based on data the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP), authors analyze artifacts (level, structure, income inequality) by comparing results for two independently drawn subsamples started in 1984 and 2000. They apply ANOGI (analysis Gini) techniques, equivalent ANOVA performed with Gini coefficient. rearrange, reinterpret, use decomposition comparison subpopulations which different...
During the last two decades, it has been well established that a short-term exposure to ozone (O3) elicits an oxidative stress response in human and mouse skin, which leads aberrant transcriptional expression of genes consistent with increased skin aging. Whether long-term ambient O3 is associated any aging traits, remained unclear. We addressed this question elderly German cohorts: SALIA study (806 women aged 66-79 years), BASE-II (1207 men 60-84 years). Five-year mean residential was...
Life-span psychological research has long been interested in the contextual embeddedness of individual development.To examine whether and how regional variables relate to between-person disparities progression late-life well-being, we applied three-level growth curve models 24-year longitudinal data from deceased participants German Socio-Economic Panel Study (N ϭ 3,427; age at death 18 101 years).Results indicated steep declines well-being with impending death, some 8% differences both...
Open-ended questions have routinely been included in large-scale survey and panel studies, yet there is some perplexity about how to actually incorporate the answers such into quantitative social science research. Tools developed recently domain of natural language processing offer a wide range options for automated analysis textual data, but their implementation has lagged behind. In this study, we demonstrate straightforward procedures that can be applied process analyze data purposes...
Abstract The German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) study is a rich resource for sociologists, mainly because it offers direct measures of respondents’ contexts. SOEP data provide (i) information retrieved from individuals themselves, (ii) their parents, partners, and organizations, (iii) prospectively collected on past characteristics, (iv) regional spatial identifiers allowing researchers to link the with regional-level characteristics. As has been in field since 1984, also reflect variation...
Abstract We provide a concise introduction to household-panel data infrastructure that provides the international research community with longitudinal of private households in Germany since 1984: German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). demonstrate comparative strength SOEP answering economically-relevant questions by highlighting its diverse and impactful applications throughout field.
History-graded increases in older adults’ levels of cognitive performance are well documented, but little is known about historical shifts within-person change: decline and onset decline. We combined harmonized perceptual-motor speed data from independent samples recruited 1990 2010 to obtain 2,008 age-matched longitudinal observations ( M = 78 years, 50% women) 228 participants the Berlin Aging Study (BASE) 583 II (BASE-II). used nonlinear growth models that orthogonalized within-...
The German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) serves a global research community by providing representative annual longitudinal data of respondents living in private households Germany. dataset offers valuable life course panorama, encompassing conditions, socioeconomic status, familial connections, personality traits, values, preferences, health, and well-being. To amplify opportunities further, we have extended the SOEP Innovation Sample (SOEP-IS) collecting genetic from 2,598 participants,...
Die Daten des Sozio-oekeonomischen Panels (SOEP) werden seit 1984 auf Grundlage eines mit dem Befragungsinstitut Infratest abgestimmten Erhebungskonzepts jahrlich erhoben. Erfasst die zentral in Munchen bei TNS Infratest, aufbereitet und beim DIW Berlin, um dann moglichst zeitnah durch SOEP-Gruppe am Berlin an externe Nutzer weitergegeben zu werden. Das komplexe Zusammenspiel von Erhebung, Aufbereitung, Speicherung Weitergabe der SOEP-Daten wird laufend aktualisiert immer wieder jeweiligen...
Abstract Frick J. R. and Goebel Regional income stratification in unified Germany using a Gini decomposition approach, Studies. Using representative micro data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP), this paper delivers new insights into development of inequality regional after unification. This applies method for detecting social by index that yields obligatory between- within-group components as well an 'overlapping' different sub-populations. It is found East still stratum on...
The relationship between urbanization, the brain, and human mental health is subject to intensive debate in current scientific literature. Particularly, since mood anxiety disorders as well schizophrenia are known be more frequent urban compared rural regions. Here, we investigated association cerebral signatures, land use indicators (Urban Fabric Urban Green) within a 1 km radius around home address of 207 well-characterized older adults. We observed negative coverage positive Green grey...
The morphology of today’s cities is the result historic urban developments and on-going transformation resulting in complex spatial structures. While functionally as well spatially, are structured into sub-units such city center, business districts, residential areas, or industrial commercial zones, their precise localization geographic space sometimes difficult. City centers particular difficult to grasp because they stand for many different functions. Generally, characterized areas high...
