    In Search of an Explanation for the Specific Labor Market Disadvantages of Second Generation Turkish Migrant Children. Simultaneously a Comment on the Contribution of Holger Seibert and Heike Solga (ZfS 5/2005)

    Zahlreiche Studien haben für den deutschen Arbeitsmarkt mittlerweile belegt, dass die Gruppe der Türken innerhalb der zweiten Generation eine gewisse Sonderrolle einzunehmen scheint: Während die schlechteren Positionierungen der Nachkommen anderer ehemaliger Arbeitsmigranten weitgehend durch formale Bildungsqualifikationen zu erklären sind, bleiben für die türkischen Jugendlichen auch unter deren Kontrolle in der Regel erhebliche Nachteile bestehen. Dies haben Holger Seibert und Heike Solga jüngst in dieser Zeitschrift noch einmal bestätigt. Wie viele andere Autoren führen sie letztlich eine spezifische Diskriminierung auf dem Arbeitsmarkt als Erklärung an. Dagegen wird in diesem Beitrag argumentiert, dass daneben noch weitere potenzielle Ursachen des spezifisch türkischen Nachteils denkbar sind, die theoretisch nicht weniger plausibel sind. Insbesondere ist hier der Mangel an hilfreichen Ressourcen zu nennen, etwa Unterstützungsleistungen seitens der Eltern oder vor allem auch Aufnahmeland-spezifische Kapitalien. Mit Daten des Sozioökonomischen Panels (SOEP) wird gezeigt, dass sich die von Seibert und Solga berichteten spezifisch türkischen Nachteile in der Tat schon weitgehend durch die ethnische Zusammensetzung der Freundschaftsnetzwerke und vor allem durch unzureichende deutsche Sprachkenntnisse erklären lassen. Dieser Befund hat auch vor strengeren kausalanalytischen Betrachtungen Bestand, die durch den Längsschnittcharakter der Daten m öglich sind.A series of studies on the fate of second generation immigrant childrenin the German labor market has identified a special pattern among those of Turkish heritage. While the disadvantages of the descendants of other labor migrants almost completely disappear when controlling for formal qualifications, Turkish young people as a rule experience a considerable ethnic penalty. This has been confirmed once again by the recent contribution of Holger Seibert and Heike Solga in this journal. In explaining this finding they - like many others - in principle refer to Turkish-specific labor market discrimination. In this paper, however, we argue that alternative explanations for the specific pattern among second-generation Turkish participants in the labor market are also available and that they are not less convincing from a theoretical point of view. Above all, the ethnic penalty may be due to a lack of helpful resources, such as weaker parental support or capital-specific factors in the receiving society. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (GSOEP) we show that the Turkish penalties reported by Seibert and Solga can indeed largely be explained by the ethnic composition of friendship networks and German language proficiency. This finding proves to hold even when applying more strict longitudinal techniques to test the underlying causal relationships

    Leistung entscheidet: Aber ungleiche Ausgangsbedingungen verzerren den Wettbewerb um Studienplätze

    Ob, wo und welches Fach studiert wird, ist nicht nur eine individuelle Entscheidung von Studienberechtigten und ihren Familien. Zulassungsverfahren und -entscheidungen von Hochschulen bestimmen die Bildungs- und Berufswege junger Menschen mit. Warum leistungsbasierte Auswahlverfahren nicht unproblematisch sind, zeigen Claudia Finger und Heike Solga am Beispiel des besonders heiß umkämpften Studienfachs Medizin

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
