Abstract:
The project establishes a qualitative panel of 90 interviews in five selected regions of Germany. The sample includes different occupational status groups and social milieus. By including socio-structural positioning and the associated modes of living, differences and homologies between milieus can be traced. In the first wave we conducted biographical narrative interviews. Following research questions guide our study: What explicit or implicit attitudes toward social cohesion are different milieus oriented towards in their lifestyle practices? In which relationships and networks and in which institutional contexts do the conducts of life take place? Which practices of lifestyle, either one's own or observed in others, result from these personal perceptions and social contexts? Which practices can have a threatening or strengthening effect on social cohesion? How is this perceived and how is it reacted to?
Sampling:
Snowball; purposive, multilevel case selection: first level five regions according to the Thünen Institute's spatial index, second level households (single, couple, family, others like shared apartment, homeless), third level household members
