In our longitudinal study a representative panel of participants was surveyed five times over the course of three years between 2014 and 2017. The aim of this survey is to help generate profound knowledge about the German population's attitudes, behaviors, and perceptions surrounding privacy. We are grateful that we were able to follow up on this aim with the support of the German Ministry of Education and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, BMBF) and with the support of the "Forum Privatheit" (www.forumprivatheit.de) – an interdisciplinary research consortium that has been collaborating since 2012 on questions of informational self-determination and privacy. At the core of the survey, we measured people's behavior in different mediated and non-mediated communication settings. We believe that in Germany and around the globe, the term privacy is now mostly connected to the online world. However, online privacy has to be managed also through offline communication. Moreover, privacy in offline settings is also affected by our online communication. In our survey, we asked respondents to report their perceptions, behaviors, and beliefs regarding typical communication situations that they might encounter in all kinds of social media and – of course – in face-to-face communication.

Dieser Artikel befasst sich mit "Timescapes: Changing Relationships and Identities Through the Lifecourse", der ersten und in dieser Weise einzigen Forschung in Großbritannien, die (gefördert durch das Economic and Social Research Council) als groß angelegte qualitative Längsschnittstudie konzipiert ist und durchgeführt wird. Die Studie ist verortet in dem Kontext spezifischer Debatten um Archivierung, Sekundär- und Reanalyse qualitativer Daten, und sie leistet wesentliche Beiträge zu all diesen Themenbereichen. Im Sinne einer Forschungs- und Archivierungspraxis kann sie als Modell für sehr große qualitative Längsschnittuntersuchungen dienen.
Die Studie besteht aus neun Teilprojekten, die an insgesamt fünf britischen Universitäten angesiedelt sind. Sieben empirische Projekte befassen sich mit Teilen der Lebenslaufs und bilden – auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen integriert – das Gesamt der Studie. Übergreifende Ziel ist die Untersuchung des Wandels von Beziehungen und Identität(en) im Lebenslauf. Kernstück des Längsschnittcharakters der Studie ist der Umgang mit Zeit bzw. die Frage, wie Kontinuität und Wandel über die Zeit so im Design realisiert werden, dass sie zentraler Fokus der analytischen Aufmerksamkeit und konzeptueller Kern der Forschungsarbeit sind. In unserem Fall hat dieses Anliegen auch Eingang bereits in den Titel der Studie erhalten: Ein "timescape" ist eine spezifische zeitliche Perspektive, die einen mikro-zeitlichen Weltausschnitt in den Vordergrund stellt und so – in unserem Fall – Einblick in die dynamische Entfaltung von Alltagsleben erlaubt. Zeitlichkeit, deren unterschiedliche Bedeutungen, die Art und Weise, wie verschiedene Zeiten ineinander verwoben sind und sich herausschälen, ist Kernstück unseres Forschungsinteresses, wobei drei große "timescapes" für uns besonders relevant sind, nämlich eine biografische, eine generationale und eine historische Zeitperspektive.
In dem Beitrag wird die konzeptuelle und empirische Basis des Projekts vorgestellt, dessen Beitrag zu einer Methodologie qualitative Längsschnittforschung diskutiert und das Archiv beschrieben, dass zur dauerhaften Datenhaltung und -pflege derzeit aufgebaut wird.

Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study (CILS) was designed to study the adaptation process of the immigrant second generation which is defined broadly as United States-born children with at least one foreign-born parent or children born abroad but brought at an early age to the United States. The original survey was conducted with large samples of second-generation immigrant children attending the 8th and 9th grades in public and private schools in the metropolitan areas of Miami/Ft. Lauderdale in Florida and San Diego, California. Conducted in 1992, the first survey had the purpose of ascertaining baseline information on immigrant families, children's demographic characteristics, language use, self-identities, and academic attainment. The total sample size was 5,262. Respondents came from 77 different nationalities, although the sample reflects the most sizable immigrant nationalities in each area. Three years later, corresponding to the time in which respondents were about to graduate from high school, the first follow-up survey was conducted. Its purpose was to examine the evolution of key adaptation outcomes including language knowledge and preference, ethnic identity, self-esteem, and academic attainment over the adolescent years. The survey also sought to establish the proportion of second-generation youths who dropped out of school before graduation. This follow-up survey retrieved 4,288 respondents or 81.5 percent of the original sample. Together with this follow-up survey, a parental survey was conducted. The purpose of this interview was to establish directly characteristics of immigrant parents and families and their outlooks for the future including aspirations and plans for the children. Since many immigrant parents did not understand English, this questionnaire was translated and administered in six different foreign languages. In total, 2,442 parents or 46 percent of the original student sample were interviewed. During 2001-2003, or a decade after the original survey, a final follow-up was conducted. The sample now averaged 24 years of age and, hence, patterns of adaptation in early adulthood could be readily assessed. The original and follow-up surveys were conducted mostly in schools attended by respondents, greatly facilitating access to them. Most respondents had already left school by the time of the second follow-up so they had to be contacted individually in their place of work or residence. Respondents were located not only in the San Diego and Miami areas, but also in more than 30 different states, with some surveys returned from military bases overseas. Mailed questionnaires were the principal source of completed data in this third survey. In total, CILS-III retrieved complete or partial information on 3,613 respondents representing 68.9 percent of the original sample and 84.3 percent of the first follow-up.Relevant adaptation outcomes measured in this survey include educational attainment, employment and occupational status, income, civil status and ethnicity of spouses/partners, political attitudes and participation, ethnic and racial identities, delinquency and incarceration, attitudes and levels of identification with American society, and plans for the future.

This article reports the results of a longitudinal experiment exploring environmental cognitive sets (ways of perceiving or thinking about one's surroundings) that were designed especially to promote awareness of environmental problems and possibilities but also to induce aesthetic experience, environmental understanding, and a playful and creative orientation toward environmental experience. The results of our project indicate that (1) imagining improvements in an environment (the "IMG" set) led subjects to notice and remember more human-induced environmental problems than did normal viewing; (2) although IMG tended to be rated as more interesting and enjoyable than normal viewing for filmed scenes, subjects who were instructed repeatedly to use IMG seemed to tire of its imposed use over an extended period of time; (3) nevertheless, a much higher proportion of these subjects than of subjects with less experimental exposure to IMG reported using this set on their own after the conclusion of the experiment; (4) our specially devised instructions "for being more creative" in imagining environmental changes were very effective in helping college students imagine changes of higher (blind-rated) quality; (5) our research procedures at this stage of development had no discernible systematic effects on overall environmental concern, ability to devise new cognitive sets, or feelings of perceptual control; (6) subjects who freely chose several cognitive sets to use at visited locations showed a highly significant tendency to find at least one experimental set for each location that was more interesting and enjoyable than normal viewing (even though normal viewing at these locations was itself rated as both interesting and enjoyable and as significantly easier than the experimental cognitive sets).

A framework and method of a three-country comparative study on the process of participative decision-making is described. Research methods, models, and instruments are developed in the context of a longitudinal de-sign. The major hypotheses relate to the situationally determined relation between power decentralization, skill utilization, and effectiveness. The four-year study hopes to provide at least partial answers to some theoretical as well as practical questions in a field of considerable current controversy in Europe.
