Methodological aspects of the SAVE data set
No full textThis paper describes the general design of the SAVE survey: the design of the questionnaire, inter-viewer and interviewee motivation, and the sampling designs of the various subsamples collected in 2001 and 2003. It discusses the representativeness of the data, explains the construction of weights, and provides probit regressions to analyse potential selectivity problems. The paper finishes by discussing implications for the use of the SAVE data in various estimation procedures.

Stanley's character polynomials and coloured factorisations in the symmetric group
No full textIn Stanley [R.P. Stanley, Irreducible symmetric group characters of rectangular shape, Sém. Lothar. Combin. 50 (2003) B50d, 11 p.] the author introduces polynomials which help evaluate symmetric group characters and conjectures that the coefficients of the polynomials are positive. In [R.P. Stanley, A conjectured combinatorial interpretation of the normalised irreducible character values of the symmetric group, math.CO/0606467, 2006] the same author gives a conjectured combinatorial interpretation for the coefficients of the polynomials. Here, we prove the conjecture for the terms of highest degree

Overconfident but yet well-calibrated and underconfident: A research note on judgmental miscalibration and flawed self-assessment*
No full textThe present paper addresses the question whether overconfidence is an individually stable phenomenon. A within-subjects design was used to investigate whether judgmental miscalibration also reflects tendency to make flawed self-assessments. While the former notion refers to the tendency of individuals to put unrealistic beliefs in their judgments, the latter concerns the tendency of individuals to make inaccurate evaluations of their abilities and performance. On the whole, the paper finds little support that those two tendencies should be related. Depending on the employed measurement, the participants were found to be simultaneously overconfident, well-calibrated, and underconfident.
The Uncontrolled Social Utility Hypothesis Revisited
No full textThe experiment disentangles communication and social effect in face−to−face communication. The results question the previous interpretation of communication effects in ultimatum bargaining, and suggest that separate processes, both of a strategic and of an affective−social nature induce cooperative outcomes.
Royal Adultery, Biblical History and Political Conflict in Tenth Century Francia: The Lothar Crystal Reconsidered
No full textDer Lothar-Kristall, zuweilen auch Susanna-Kristall genannt, ist eines der berühmtesten Kunstwerke, die im frühen Mittelalter in Westeuropa angefertigt wurden. Seine Herstellung und die Symbolik seines künstlerischen Konzepts, das den Vorwurf des Ehebruchs gegen die wohlhabende Susanna darstellt, der im 13. Kapitel des Buches Daniel in der Vulgata-Version der Bibel erzählt wird, sind Gegenstand zahlreicher Studien. Eine zentrale Inschrift verrät dem Betrachter, dass der Kristall auf Anweisung eines gewissen Lothar, König der Franken, angefertigt wurde. Dieser König wird seit Langem mit dem Karolinger Lothar II. (855–869) identifiziert, dessen turbulente Ehe und Scheidungsversuche in den 860er Jahren zu einer großen politischen Krise führten. Der Beitrag prüft die Argumente für diese Zuweisung und legt dar, dass es sich lohnt, einen alternativen Kontext für die Entstehung des Kristalls in Betracht zu ziehen: die Regierungszeit des westfränkischen Königs Lothar (954–986). Wenn man den Kristall als Produkt des späten 10. Jahrhunderts betrachtet, könnte er eine Anspielung auf den Vorwurf des Ehebruchs sein, der zu dieser Zeit gegen Königin Emma II. erhoben wurde, sowie auf die Auseinandersetzung um die Kontrolle des wichtigen Gebiets Lotharingien im Kontext der Krise nach dem Tod Kaiser Ottos II. (973–983).The Lothar Crystal, sometimes called the Susanna Crystal, is one of the most famous artworks produced in Western Europe during the early Middle Ages. Much study has been devoted to its manufacture and the symbolism of its artistic scheme, which depicts accusations of adultery against the wealthy woman Susanna as narrated in chapter 13 of the Book of Daniel from the Vulgate version of the Bible. A central inscription tells the viewer that the crystal was made on the instruction of a certain Lothar, king of the Franks. This king has long been identified as the Carolingian Lothar II (855–869), whose turbulent marriage and attempts at divorce caused a major political crisis during the 860s. The aim of this contribution is to re-examine the arguments for this attribution and suggest that it is worth considering an alternative context for the creation of the crystal: the reign of Lothar of West Francia (954–986). By reading it as a product of the later tenth century, the author argues that the crystal may cast light on accusations of adultery made at that time against Queen Emma II, and on the struggle to control the important territory of Lotharingia in the crisis that followed the death of Emperor Otto II (973–983).Le Cristal de Lothaire, parfois aussi appelé Cristal de Suzanne, est l’une des œuvres d’art les plus célèbres réalisées en Europe occidentale au haut Moyen Âge. Sa fabrication et la symbolique de ce qu’elle représente, à savoir l’accusation d’adultère portée contre la riche Suzanne, racontée dans le 13e chapitre du livre de Daniel dans la Vulgate, ont fait l’objet de nombreuses études. Une inscription centrale révèle à l’observateur que le cristal a été réalisé sur l’ordre d’un certain Lothaire, roi des Francs. Ce dernier a longtemps été identifié comme étant le roi carolingien Lothaire II (855–869), dont le mariage tumultueux et les tentatives de divorce dans les années 860 ont conduit à une crise politique majeure. L’article interroge les arguments en faveur de cette attribution et insiste sur l’intérêt de prendre en considération un autre contexte possible pour la réalisation de ce cristal, à savoir celui du règne du roi de Francie occidentale Lothaire (954–986). Si l’on considère en réalité le cristal comme un produit de la fin du Xe siècle, il pourrait alors être davantage une allusion à l’accusation d’adultère portée à cette époque contre la reine Emma II, ainsi qu’au conflit pour le contrôle de l’important territoire de Lotharingie dans le contexte de la crise qui suivit la mort de l’empereur Otton II (973–983)
