Multidisciplinary perspectives on science and policy in the EU
The Belgian Science Policy Office (BELSPO) has invited Holger Straßheim to chair a panel at an international conference on "Social Sciences, Arts, and Humanities and the future of evidence-informed policymaking“ (6-7 May 2024, Royal Museum for Central Africa, Tervuren). The conference is organized within the frame of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union. BELSPO emphasizes the need for multidisciplinary approaches in policymaking beyond linear models of science-policy advice. It brings together more than 150 participants. The panel chaired by Straßheim will focus on paradigmatic examples of boundary-crossing organizations such as the Finnish Academy of Science, the Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR) and UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES, a transdisciplinary and cross-regional mechanism that provides humanities-driven science to member states.
Rolf Lidskog (Örebro) new visiting researcher
Rolf Lidskog, Professor in
Sociology at Örebro University in Sweden, will be the new visiting researcher
at the working group Political Sociology (Straßheim). Rolf Lidskog’s
research interests include environmental policy and politics at the
international and national levels, especially the role of expertise in
environmental governance. A central issue in this research is how actors
perceive, evaluate and manage risks, where there are conflicting views on what
is the most suitable way to manage them. To answer this question, he has
studied a variety of environmental areas: climate change, biodiversity loss,
air pollution policy, nuclear waste management and hazardous waste management.
Rolf will give a lecture at the ISOS colloquium on 23 April on 'Environmental expertise
for social transformation: meaning, roles, and expectations‘.
Official Inauguration of DFG-funded Research Training Group on "Cross-Border Labour Markets" RTG 2951
On April 8, the newly established Research Training Group "Cross-Border Labour Markets: transnational market makers, infrastructures, institutions" RTG 2951 was officially inaugurated with a Launch Event at Bielefeld University. Speaker Ursula Mense-Petermann (Professor of Economic Sociology and Sociology of Work, Bielefeld University) and Co-speaker Karen Shire (Professor of Comparative Sociology and Japanese Society, University Duisburg-Essen) welcomed the 11 Principal Investigators from Bielefeld University, University Duisburg-Essen, and University Osnabrück, as well as the group of 11 newly appointed doctoral researchers, one Postdoc, as well as two associated researchers to the Research Training Group.
The Research Training Group investigates cross-border labour markets and the transnational organizations, infrastructures, and institutions that facilitate and stabilize such labour markets extending beyond national boundaries.
The rector of Bielefeld University, Professor Angelika Epple, congratulated the international and interdisciplinary team of PIs for their success and praised their commitment and determination in this highly innovative project.
Keynotes were given by sociologist and migration scholar Ludger Pries (Ruhr University Bochum) and by labour market economist Michele Battisti (University of Glasgow), thus representing the interdisciplinary outlook of the RTG.

New publication by Sebastian Sattler in Social Science & Medicine on a situational test of the Health Belief Model
Taflinger, S., Sattler, S.
(2024): A Situational Test of the Health Belief Model: How
Perceived Susceptibility Mediates the Effects of the Environment
on Behavioral Intentions. Social Science & Medicine
346: 116715 [Link]
Objective: Existing evidence regarding the role of perceived susceptibility in shaping preventative health behavior is mixed for the Health Belief Model (HBM). To clarify whether and under which conditions perceived susceptibility affects preventative behavior, this study aims to better understand how situational environmental factors affect perceived susceptibility, thereby shaping health decisions, and whether this mediation relationship is conditioned by other HBM cognitions, namely perceived benefits and severity.
Methods: Therefore, we employed a scenario-based experiment in a large, representative sample of the German population (N = 4,802) in April 2022. Respondents were presented with a fictional invitation to a social gathering, which mimicked a post in a messenger group chat. The invitation included five experimentally manipulated scenarios: no COVID-19 preventative measure implemented, a COVID-19 test is required; either testing negative, being vaccinated, or being recovered from COVID-19 is required (known as 3G in the German context); reduced number of attendees; or the social gathering occurred outside. Moreover, perceived susceptibility to contract COVID-19 at the social gathering and perceived severity and benefits (independent of the scenario) were measured.
Results: We found evidence that perceived susceptibility mediates the relationship between each implemented preventative measure and willingness to attend the social gathering. The effect of the preventative measures on perceived susceptibility and the indirect effect of the preventative measure on attendance via perceived susceptibility were moderated by perceived benefits. However, there is lack of robust evidence that perceived severity moderates the effect of perceived susceptibility on attendance.
Conclusion: In summary, our study provides evidence that individuals perceive and adapt their perceptions and behavior to preventive measures in a given situation, which speaks to the dynamic nature of the cognition perceived susceptibility. Moreover, our findings suggest a promising avenue forward for the HBM is to examine how the cognitions and the environment together shape preventative health behavior.

Online-Veröffentlichung der Abschiedsvorlesung Luhmanns
"Was ist der Fall?" und "Was steckt dahinter?" – so lautet der Titel der Abschiedsvorlesung Niklas Luhmanns, die er am 9. Februar 1993 im Auditorium maximum der Universität Bielefeld gehalten hat. Im Nachlass Luhmanns liegen dazu das Vortragsskript und die Audioaufnahme sowie eine Reihe von Aufsatzmanuskripten vor, die Grundlage für die späteren Publikationen waren. Im Rahmen der digitalen Edition der Manuskripte dokumentiert das Luhmann-Archiv durch das Onlinestellen der Faksimiles der Manuskripte und deren Transkription am Beispiel dieses Textes nun exemplarisch die typische (serielle) Manuskriptproduktion Luhmanns.
