          Abstract

          Zusammenfassung. Der Beitrag zeigt die Analysepotentiale der repräsentativen Mikrodaten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) für die Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie (A/O-Psychologie) auf. Dabei werden allgemeine Charakteristika von Stichprobe und Erhebung des SOEP vorgestellt, sowie Konstrukte mit besonderer Relevanz für die Psychologie eingeführt. Zudem diskutieren wir Analysemethoden für Paneldaten, mit denen sich die Potentiale des SOEP realisieren lassen. Neben den Möglichkeiten des SOEP für Stabilitäts- und Verlaufsanalysen stellen wir die Potentiale längsschnittlicher Daten für kausale Analysen heraus. Dabei erläutern wir insbesondere die Analyselogik längsschnittlicher Fixed Effects Modellierungen und vergleichen diese mit weiteren längsschnittlichen Analyseverfahren. Wir argumentieren, dass bei Anwendung akkurater Methoden Teilaspekte der experimentellen Analyselogik auf Grundlage längsschnittlicher Surveydaten angenähert werden können. Folglich stellen die Daten des SOEP immer dann eine wertvolle Ressource für die A/O-Psychologie dar, wenn a) unabhängige Merkmale aus ethischen oder praktischen Gründen nicht systematisch manipuliert werden können, b) die Kernbefunde experimenteller Primärstudien auf Grundlage eines repräsentativen Samples repliziert werden sollen oder c) Interesse am langfristigen Verlauf eines Indikators besteht.

          The Socio-Economic Panel as a Database for Industrial and Organizational Psychology: Potentials, Limitations, and Methods for the Analysis of Longitudinal Survey Data

          Abstract. This article provides an introduction to work with microdata from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) and its potential in the context of industrial and organizational (I/O) psychology. Additionally, we discuss the benefits of fixed-effects models and compare their properties with the longitudinal methods normally used in psychology. While longitudinal survey research cannot take the place of experiments as the gold standard for empirical research, certain features of experimental designs can be reproduced using SOEP data. SOEP-based survey data therefore appear to be a valuable resource for I/O psychology whenever (a) independent characteristics cannot be manipulated systematically, (b) core findings of experimental studies are to be reproduced on the basis of a representative sample, or (c) trajectories or dynamics on the individual level are the focus of interest.

          Stability and change of personality across the life course: the impact of age and major life events on mean-level and rank-order stability of the Big Five.

          Does personality change across the entire life course, and are those changes due to intrinsic maturation or major life experiences? This longitudinal study investigated changes in the mean levels and rank order of the Big Five personality traits in a heterogeneous sample of 14,718 Germans across all of adulthood. Latent change and latent moderated regression models provided 4 main findings: First, age had a complex curvilinear influence on mean levels of personality. Second, the rank-order stability of Emotional Stability, Extraversion, Openness, and Agreeableness all followed an inverted U-shaped function, reaching a peak between the ages of 40 and 60 and decreasing afterward, whereas Conscientiousness showed a continuously increasing rank-order stability across adulthood. Third, personality predicted the occurrence of several objective major life events (selection effects) and changed in reaction to experiencing these events (socialization effects), suggesting that personality can change due to factors other than intrinsic maturation. Fourth, when events were clustered according to their valence, as is commonly done, effects of the environment on changes in personality were either overlooked or overgeneralized. In sum, our analyses show that personality changes throughout the life span, but with more pronounced changes in young and old ages, and that this change is partly attributable to social demands and experiences. 2011 APA, all rights reserved

              Optimal time lags in panel studies.

              Cross-lagged regression coefficients are frequently used to test hypotheses in panel designs. However, these coefficients have particular properties making them difficult to interpret. In particular, cross-lagged regression coefficients may vary, depending on the respective time lags between different sets of measurement occasions. This article introduces the concept of an optimal time lag. Further, it is demonstrated that optimal time lags in panel studies are related to the stabilities of the variables investigated, and that in unidirectional systems, they may be unrelated to the size of possible true effects. The results presented also suggest that optimal time lags for panel designs are usually quite short. Implications are (a) that interpreting cross-lagged regression coefficients requires taking the time lag between measurement occasions into account, and (b) that in much research, far shorter time lags than those frequently found in the literature are justifiable, and we call for more "shortitudinal" studies in the future.
