In recent years, the body of evidence suggesting that studying abroad during higher education can positively influence students’ personality development, academic knowledge and skills, intercultural competences, and employment prospects has increased. Policy makers and scholars alike want to understand who reaps these benefits and who does not. Hence, we review studies examining how key socio-demographic variables (gender, age, socio-economic background, and ethnicity) influence the likelihood of studying abroad.

A perennial problem in bibliometrics is the appropriate distribution of authorship credit for coauthored publications. Several credit allocation methods and formulas have been introduced, but there has been little empirical validation as to which method best reflects the typical contributions of coauthors. This paper presents a validation of credit allocation methods using a new data set of author-provided percentage contribution figures obtained from the coauthored publications in cumulative PhD theses by authors from three countries that contain contribution statements.

Der Beitrag untersucht, ob Studierende eine geringere finanzielle familiäre und/oder staatliche Unterstützung durch (vermehrte) Erwerbsarbeit kompensieren, ob diese Erwerbszeit in Konkurrenz zur Studienzeit steht, und welche Studierendengruppen durch die gezeigten Zusammenhänge hinsichtlich ihrer Studienzeit besonders benachteiligt sind. Eine anhand der 21. Sozialerhebung durchgeführte Pfadanalyse zeigt, dass solchen Studierenden ein Nachteil entsteht, deren Basiseinkommen zur Finanzierung ihrer Lebenshaltungs- und Studienkosten nicht ausreicht. Dies betrifft besonders ältere Studierende und Studierende ohne akademisch geprägtes Elternhaus

This contribution investigates students’ time budget across 28 European Higher Education Area member countries from a (descriptive) comparative perspective and it provides an in-depth analysis for Hungarian students. Whether students spend more time in direct interaction with teaching staff, or studying on their own, reflects the varying requirements set by different types of higher education institutions, fields of study, and study programmes. Additionally, time investments vary among different groups of students

Prejudices against the unemployed pose an enormous threat to their self-confidence and can make it difficult for them to re-enter the labour market, resulting in further long-term unemployment. Given these high costs for the unemployed and for society as a whole, our knowledge of prejudices against the unemployed is surprisingly scarce. We focus on the question of what determines the strength of prejudice among employees. By applying social identity theory, we assume that people who are disadvantaged in the labour market in general, also hold stronger prejudices. In addition, we assume that social status mediates this association and that self-efficacy moderates it.
