It is argued that "German family sociology" has undergone major changes in various ways. In theoretical terms, micro-theoretical approaches have largely replaced former macro-sociological debates on de-institutionalization and pluralization of the family. In empirical research, the application of a life course perspective and the use of longitudinal data have become more and more established. In substantial terms, researchers have pursued integrative research perspectives that link family dynamics to other life domains. Not least, publication strategies shifted in favor of English language and international journals. In sum, these developments have fundamentally changed the German researchlandscape on intimate relationships and the family.}, language = {en} } @article{KoeppenKreyenfeldTrappe, author = {K{\"o}ppen, Katja and Kreyenfeld, Michaela and Trappe, Heike}, title = {Loose Ties?

Background: The contact separated fathers have with their children is a policy-relevant issue that has been intensively addressed in previous research for the US, the UK, and Canada. For continental Europe, there has been far less research on this topic. This paper investigated how fathers' union status at childbirth, custody arrangements, and past and present partnership dynamics affect the level of contact they had with their first-born child from a prior union. Method: Data were used from wave 2 (2009/10) to wave 8 (2015/16) of the German family panel pairfam (www.pairfam.de). With a final sample size of 285 fathers, population average logistic models were estimated that examined non-resident fathers' probability of having frequent contact versus having little or no contact with their first-born children. Results: Whether a non-resident father shared legal custody with the mother or not was a decisive factor in whether he had regular contact with his minor child, particularly if he was not living with the mother of the child at the time of delivery. There were strong interaction effects between having joint legal custody and the time since the parental separation. Joint legal custody did not have an immediate impact on father-child contact around the time of separation, but as time elapsed, men without joint legal custody were more likely to lose contact with their children than men with joint legal custody. Conclusion: Joint legal custody may provide an institutional arrangement for separated parents to exercise their responsibility for the well-being of their children and thus be conducive to regular father-child contact.}, language = {en} } @techreport{EstherKoeppenKreyenfeldetal., type = {Working Paper}, author = {Esther, Geisler and K{\"o}ppen, Katja and Kreyenfeld, Michaela and Trappe, Heike and Pollmann-Schult, Matthias}, title = {Familien nach Trennung und Scheidung in Deutschland}, isbn = {978-3-00-058996-6}, doi = {10.24352/UB.OVGU-2018-096}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:b1570-opus4-24936}, pages = {52}, abstract = {Trennungen und Scheidungen auf einem hohen Niveau - auch unter Familien mit minderj{\"a}hrigen Kindern - kennzeichnen bereits seit l{\"a}ngerer Zeit die Familienentwicklung in Deutschland und anderen europ{\"a}ischen L{\"a}ndern.

The data come from the first six waves of the German Family Panel (pairfam), which span the period from 2008/2009 until 2013/2014. In our analysis, fertility preferences are measured using the following question: "Under ideal circumstances, how many children would you like to have?" The average number cited by both women and men is 2.2. With rising age, this number declines modestly. Relying on fixed-effects modelling, we find that neither partnership status nor economic circumstances have any causal effect on fertility preferences. However, as the number of children a respondent has increases, his or her ideal number of children is also likely to grow. Thus, fertility ideals appear to undergo changes over time, and are adjusted in line with the size of the respondent's own family.}, language = {en} } @misc{KreyenfeldTrappe, author = {Kreyenfeld, Michaela and Trappe, Heike}, title = {Parental Life Courses after Separation and Divorce in Europe}, publisher = {Springer Open}, isbn = {978-3-030-44575-1}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-44575-1}, abstract = {This open access book assembles landmark studies on divorce and separation in European countries, and how this affects the life of parents and children. It focuses on four major areas of post-separation lives, namely (1) economic conditions, (2) parent-child relationships, (3) parent and child well-being, and (4) health. Through studies from several European countries, the book showcases how legal regulations and social policies influence parental and child well-being after divorce and separation. It also illustrates how social policies are interwoven with the normative fabric of a country. For example, it is shown that father-child contact after separation is more intense in those countries which have adopted policies that encourage shared parenting. Correspondingly, countries that have adopted these regulations are at the forefront of more egalitarian gender role attitudes. Apart from a strong emphasis on the legal and social policy context, the studies in this volume adopt a longitudinal perspective and situate post-separation behaviour and well-being in the life course. The longitudinal perspective opens up new avenues for research to understand how behaviour and conditions prior or at divorce and separation affect later behaviour and well-being. As such this book is of special appeal to scholars of family research as well as to anyone interested in the role of divorce and separation in Europe in the 21st century.}, language = {en} } @incollection{KoeppenKreyenfeldTrappe, author = {K{\"o}ppen, Katja and Kreyenfeld, Michaela and Trappe, Heike}, title = {Gender Differences in Parental Well-being After Separation: Does Shared Parenting Matter?}, series = {Parental Life Courses after Separation and Divorce in Europe.

One consistent finding of the literature is that women and men are affected differently by divorce and separation. Women, and particularly mothers, are likely to suffer from a loss of income. Fathers frequently suffer from having reduced contact with their children, who usually continue to live with their mother after a union dissolution. This chapter uses 10 years of data from the German Family Panel (pairfam) to examine more closely the gender differences in life satisfaction after separation. In line with previous research, we show that following a separation, satisfaction with family life declines more among fathers than among mothers, and that mothers tend to experience a greater decline in their satisfaction with their financial situation than fathers. We also examine the role of shared parenting (Wechselmodell) in parents' life satisfaction. Our findings indicate that shared parenting is positively associated with well-being, but also that the association is not stable to the inclusion of socio-economic characteristics that explain the selection into shared parenting. The results are discussed in the context of the current German policy debate on shared parenting.}, language = {en} }
