Portrayals of history are never complete, and each description inherently exhibits a specific view- point and emphasis. In this work, we automatically identified such differences by computing time- lines and detecting temporal focal points of written history across languages on Wikipedia. In particular, we studied articles related to the history of all UN member states and compared them in 30 language editions. We developed a computational approach that allows to identify focal points quantitatively, and found that Wikipedia narratives about national histories (i) are skewed towards more recent events (recency bias) and (ii) are distributed unevenly across the continents with sig- nificant focus on the history of European countries (Eurocentric bias). Thus, our work explored how colonial ties shape popular historiography on Wikipedia. We also established that national historical timelines vary across language editions, although average interlingual consensus is rather high. We hope that this work provides a starting point for a broader computational analysis of written history on Wikipedia and elsewhere.
In Switzerland, the KESB authorities decide about welfare service delivery as well as about the taking of coercive measures. The authorities were created in 2013, following a change to the Swiss Civil Code (ZGB) adopted by the Swiss Parliament. Whereas most of the French-speaking cantons were able to continue working within the existing system, the changes to the Civil Code led to organizational changes in the German-speaking cantons and the Ticino.
Our analysis will begin in the 1990s, when the first meetings on the reform of the guardianship system, as child and adult protection services were referred to back then, took place. We will then track the reform on the national level as well as its implementation on the cantonal level at the turn of the millennium. This will be followed by an analysis of the debate in the media and its implications for today.
Objective: This experiment aims to investigate the influence of narrative information varying in the degree of perceived similarity and source credibility in supplemented testimonials on the acceptance of digital mental health services (digi-MHSs).
Methods: In fall 2020, n=231 university students were randomly assigned to an active control group (aCG, n=55, "information only") or one of three intervention groups (IGs) receiving information plus different testimonials being presented either by nonacademic staff (IG1, n=60), university students (IG2, n=58) or experts (IG3, n=58). We assessed mediation effects of similarity and credibility on acceptance in terms of attitudes and usage intentions. Results: Exposure to testimonials was associated with higher usage intentions (d=0.50) and more positive attitudes towards digi-MHSs (d=0.32) compared to mere information (aCG). Regarding source-related effects, one-way ANOVA showed group differences in intentions (ŋp2=.13) that were significantly higher after exposure to testimonials targeted at students than in the other groups after adjusting for baseline intentions (ŋp2=.24). Concerning underlying mechanisms, there were full mediation effects of similarity (IG1 versus IG2) on attitudes (95%CI [0.030, 0.441]) and intentions to use digi-MHSs (95%CI [0.100, 0.528]) and of credibility on attitudes (IG2 versus IG3; 95%CI [-0.217, -0.004]), all favoring students´ testimonials.
Conclusions: Overall, this study indicated that the acceptance of digi-MHSs can be substantially increased by providing a simple, context-sensitive information intervention including testimonials by university students. Since we identified mediating effects of credibility on cognitive attitudes and similarity on affect-driven intentions to use digi-MHSs, a future trial could vary these features using narrative versus statistic information.
This archive includes all data compiled in the course of a systematic review on the association between family demographic processes and in-work poverty that represents the empirical material used in the paper Polizzi, Struffolino, Van Winkle. 2020. "Family Demographic Processes and In-Work Poverty: A Systematic Review." SocArXiv: https://doi.org/10.31235/osf.io/zncaq
The systematic review aims at locating empirical results on these associations within a common grid to summarize the findings with respect to five family demographic processes: parental home leaving, cohabitation, parenthood and subsequent births, union formation, and union dissolution. We concentrate on empirical studies on in-work poverty in OECD and EU-28 countries without any restriction on the year of publication.
In the first part of the systematic review, we provide a quantitative review of results from a comparative pool of cross-sectional analyses. In the second part of the systematic review, we perform a narrative review of the literature that pays special attention to recent research implementing a longitudinal design with household panel data and to alternative operationalizations of pivotal variables.
The methods report provides detailed information on all files included in the archive.

In 1920, the Carinthian plebiscite was organized to decide whether an ethnically and/or linguistically heterogeneous area in South-East Carinthia was to be part of the German-Austrian rump state or of the newly established Yugoslavian kingdom. Although ethnic or linguistic ``Slovenes'' constituted a majority of almost seventy percent within the referendum zone, more than fifty-nine percent of the voters opted to integrate into Austria. The allegedly victorious ``German'' side quickly turned the choice for Austria into a nationalist narrative fueled by claims of cultural superiority, fostered by the invention of an integrated, publicly funded memorial culture, vigorously defended against any objections or revisionism from ``outside'', and thus alienated and isolated from scientific discourse and discussion.
In this paper, we utilize an ecological inference model to show that nationalist authors on both sides severely overrated the causal impact and empirical significance of the alleged ethnic cleavage, underestimated the share of ``Slovenian'' and overestimated the share of ``German'' voters that chose to join the new Austrian republic. Instead of the reported 10,000, about 13,000 Slovenes, i.e. more than fifty percent of this linguistic group, had voted for Austria, while only 9,000 German-speaking voters, roughly three quarters, actually supported Austria. These findings strikingly illustrate the absurdity of historical accounts by both Austrian and Slovenian/ Yugoslavian authors who are fixated on some ethno-nationalist headcount as the dominant if not sole driver of historical fate.
In this doctoral dissertation, I adress the issue of changes in foodways, using a socio-cultural framework, as this approach takes as a starting point the dynamic co-construction between the person and her or his environment. Within this framework, I place particular emphasis on approaches underlining the importance of dialogicity and socio-materiality in human activities. I select several conceptual tools that I consider as useful to analyze these processes of navigation of the world, namely positioning, rupture/transition, responsibility and creativity. The phenomenon that I examine with this theoretical framework is the elaboration of a foodway at an individual level and, more specifically, the questioning and refusal of products of animal origin, which, depending notably on the extent of the avoidance, might be labelled vegetarianism or veganism. I argue that this phenomenon is of high interest notably because it is at the core of societal debates and challenges related to animal ethics, environmental impact and health issues. In this thesis, I conceptualize changes in foodways as movements of repositioning in a foodscape (a landscape of discourses and practices related to food and eating) and I address the following research question: What are the positioning dynamics around the consumption of products of animal origin among people who changed their foodway regarding these products? In order to address this question, I use a qualitative approach allowing me to understand each situation and trajectory in its complexity and dynamicity. I propose a methodological design combining a narrative interview, a dialogical experiment, and a filmed observation. As a complement, I also collect elements from the socio-cultural environment such as newspaper articles. Participants are ten adults who changed their food habits in relation to products of animal origin.
The Pluralistic Memories Project (PMP) has been funded in 2014 for a period of 6 years. Through a mixed methodology, PMP gathered personal memories of events related to past conflicts that happened in Burundi, Palestine and Sri Lanka, three former colonies that have been struggling with violent civil conflicts.
PMP aims to document the diversity of memories about these past conflicts, to examine the processes through which war narratives become official or fall into oblivion, and to support local researchers who study collective memories in conflict-torn societies.
The project brings together Burundian, Sri Lankan, Palestinian, Swiss and other international researchers from different scientific disciplines who are guided by a common question: Can the preservation of a plurality of living memories make communities more resilient in face of the exploitation of yesterday's trauma by tomorrow's warmongers?
PMP data is of multiple type. First, PMP conducted approximately 180+ semi-directive interviews. These interviews were done in the field by local PMP researchers that all shared a common thematic and methodology. Most of these interviews were then transcribed, anonymized, translated into english and documented. In Sri Lanka and Palestine, PMP also gathered data through two quantitative surveys (+ 2 pilots) that were conducted in the field. Particular attention was made to find representative samples that could reflect the diversity of memories. A last, PMP did 2 web surveys in Burundi, that were focused on the Burundian diaspora (so people of Burundi that live, or lived, outside Burundi).
Most of the anonymized data that was gathered by PMP is now available here under various licenses (depending on the sensitiveness of the data and the level of consent of participants). Actually, most of PMP data could still be sensitive in some contexts or for some uses. This more sensitive data is only available after the acceptance of a research project proposed by the requester.
