Research predominantly focuses on problematic behaviors in children with symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to explain why they are disliked by their classroom peers.

Reitz, Anne K.; Asendorpf, Jens B.; Motti-Stefanidi, Frosso – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2015
Despite research showing that immigrant adolescents differ in the degree to which they feel personally discriminated against, little is known about individual predictors of their perceived personal discrimination. We studied the role of a major developmental task in adolescence that is highly relevant for discrimination experiences: being liked by…

Fassio, Omar; Rollero, Chiara; De Piccoli, Norma – Social Indicators Research, 2013

Kampfer, Sylvia; Mutz, Michael – Social Indicators Research, 2013
This paper seeks to analyze the influence of the weather on a person's self-reported life satisfaction. On a theoretical level, it is claimed that "nice" weather can improve the affective well-being of a person. Given this, it is argued that affects can, in turn, have an impact on that person's general assessment of his or her life. In…

Madonia, G.; Cracolici, M. F.; Cuffaro, M. – Social Indicators Research, 2013
We draw on the recommendations of the Stiglitz Report to select a set of economic and social variables that can be used to make cross-country comparisons of wider well-being. Using data for the EU-15 countries for 1999 and 2005, we show how three-way analysis can be used to extract synthetic information from a large data set to determine the main…

Davids, Yul Derek; Gouws, Amanda – Social Indicators Research, 2013

Klein, Carlo – Social Indicators Research, 2013
The theoretical analysis of the concepts of social capital and of social cohesion shows that social capital should be considered as a micro concept whereas social cohesion, being a broader concept than social capital, is a more appropriate concept for macro analysis. Therefore, we suggest that data on the individual level should only be used to…

Becchetti, Leonardo; Ricca, Elena Giachin; Pelloni, Alessandra – Social Indicators Research, 2013
Empirical analyses of the determinants of life satisfaction routinely include the number of children as one of the socio demographic controls, without explicitly considering that, for a given household income, more children imply a lower level of income per family member. The variable "number of children" then often attracts a negative…
