New Projects for Elena Semenova
The International Network “Selection and Deselection of Political Elites” (SEDEPE) invited
Elena Semenova to participate in two publication projects. The first project deals with the
recruitment of ministers in presidential systems. The editors of the book project “Selection of Ministers Around the World”, Patrick Dumont (University of Luxembourg) and
Keith Downing (National University of Australia) invited Elena Semenova to provide a
book chapter on ministerial recruitment in Russia from 1991 to 2012. The book proposal
was accepted by Routledge and will be published in 2013.
The second project focuses on political elites in multi-level countries. Elena Semenova
was invited by Matthew Kerby (Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada) and Csaba
Nikolenyi (Concordia University, Canada) to contribute a chapter on governors in postSoviet Russia. The first meeting of the research group takes place at the World Congress
of Political Science in July 2012, and the second meeting will be organized in Montreal
(Canada) in October 2012.
Elena Semenova and David Winter (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor) has started a new
project on political psychology of political leaders. The project includes a number of articles on motivational aspects of leaders in a historical (Soviet and German politicians at
the beginning of the World War II) and regional perspective (American and Russian parliamentarians: Motivation and Institutions).
A new project on networks and institutional development of Ukrainian parliament has
been initiated by Elena Semenova and Tetiana Kostuichenko (Institute of Sociology, KyivMohyla Academy, Ukraine). The project analyses survival rates of Ukrainian politicians
since the collapse of Communism.
Visiting Fellowship for Elena Semenova
Elena Semenova was awarded a Visiting Fellowship at the Munk School for Global Affairs
at the University of Toronto. The Munk School for Global Affairs is one of North America's
leading academic institutes for the study of the member countries of the European Union,
the countries of the former Soviet Union, and Central and Eastern Europe. During her
stay at the University of Toronto, Elena Semenova will write an article on parliamentary
representation of businessmen in Central and Eastern Europe, give two presentations and
supervise doctoral students.

DAAD Funding Granted for a fourth Caucasus Workshop on “Disaster and Bereavement in
Central Asia”
Professor Rainer Silbereisen and colleagues in the Department of Developmental Psychology have learned that the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) has granted
funding for a new Caucasus workshop to be held in Tbilisi, Georgia, in October 2012. This
is the fourth in a series of capacity-building workshops on Bereavement, Research and
Practice that was instigated following the 2008 Russian–Georgian armed conflict and the
urgent request from Georgian psychologists to the International Union of Psychological
Science (IUPsyS), of which Professor Rainer Silbereisen is currently President, for support
of their work with internally displaced persons.
The first two workshops were held in 2009 and 2010 at the University of Jena when approximately 30 participants, including senior and young scientists, as well as practitioners, came from Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan to spend one week meeting and working with international specialists in the field of bereavement and trauma. A special focus
was placed on bringing young researchers into discussion with internationally reputed
experts. Whereas these two workshops mainly focused on basic theory and practical
training, the third workshop, which was held in Tbilisi, Georgia, in 2011, dealt with advanced in-field training and curriculum development. Participants again came from Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and faculty members were internationally renowned experts.
The fourth workshop “Disaster and Bereavement in Central Asia” will focus on the dissemination of theoretical and practical knowledge from the South-Caucasus region towards other countries in Central Asia such as Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan. The workshop is part of the long-term plan to establish Georgia as a hub, connecting scientists and practitioners in the single Central Asia countries with international networks. Workshop participants will be drawn from the Central Asia countries, and faculty
members will again be of the highest international repute and from across the world. The
workshop will take place during the second week of October (exact dates are to be confirmed) and will be held at Tbilisi State University, Georgia.
Support for the workshop series is provided by the German Academic Exchange Service
(DAAD), the IUPsyS, and the University of Jena. Further background information on this
workshop series and the role of the DAAD can be found by going to
www.iupsys.net/images/announcements/1101-daad-rks-interview.pdf where there is the
transcription of an interview between Professor Silbereisen and the DAAD concerning the
Caucasus capacity-building workshop series.

New EIC-Fellows
Thomas de Haan
My name is Thomas de Haan, I am 27 years old
and from Holland. For the coming 2 years, I'll be a
postdoctoral researcher at the GSBC-GK EIC group.
Before I was a PhD student at the University of Amsterdam in the experimental economics department
which was named CREED. Here at the GK my research focus will be mostly on experimental economics, specifically looking at how theories regarding knowledge sharing, R&D investing or creativity
stimulation could be tested and enhanced using
laboratory experiments. One goal will also be to get many EIC-phd students involved in
using the lab to tackle questions regarding innovation. Next to this I am open to many
more topics and methods of research. I am looking forward to many "gemeinschaftliche
Projekte" with the other members of the GSBC/EIC group.
Contact: thomas.de-haan(at)uni-jena.de
Johannes Karl Herrmann
I studied economics (Volkswirtschaftslehre, diploma) at the Friedrich-Schiller University in Jena. My diploma thesis in 2010 was
about the role of emotions in economic theory. I also studied
abroad at the Högskolan Dalarna in Sweden. This march I started
my PhD work at the graduation program “Economics of innovative change” here in Jena. I am now working at the GRETCHENproject (Chair Prof. Cantner), which attempts to evaluate certain
policy measures aiming at encouraging renewable energies both
in production and consumption. My interest in this topic was induced by an internship at the Thuringian Ministery for Economics,
Labour and Technology.
I have a number of topics I am generally interested in. The most prominent are economic
policy, energy supply, psychology and institutional economics. I hope to have a good
time with you at the GSBC-EIC in Jena and am looking forward to get to know all of you
better over time.

Symposium on Causality 2012 "Conditional and Direct Causal Effects"
July 24 – 26, 2012, Altes Schloss Dornburg, near Jena, Großer Kaisersaal
(Subject to funding the travel expenses of speakers by the DFG)
Aim of the symposium
The symposium is intended to sharpen our
ideas and instruments for the analysis of conditional and direct treatment effects. Why
does this aim seem to be warranted? In the
last decades, analyses of causal effects have
mainly focused on average total effects of
treatments. This is appropriate if we are interested in the overall or total effectiveness of
treatments in a population of subjects. HowPage 10

Conference presentations by the GSBC fellows
Dario Montero on "A Taylorian Perspective on Social Change: Social Meanings
and Cultural Identities"
Presentation at the International Conference on Humanities, Historical and Social Sciences (CHHSS), Cairo, Egypt (October 21-23, 2011)
----------------------------------------------------Mainstream social science has not been able to go beyond an individualistically framed
study of socio-cultural phenomena and its processes of transformation. In this prevailing
view, values and beliefs, meanings and identities, are always thought of as individual
occurrences, and macro explanations are only reached by aggregation. In this paper, I
want to argue for a new conceptualization of social change that explicitly takes into account irreducibly ’social‘ meanings, those which are not decomposable into individual
properties. The concept of a ’social imaginary‘ set out recently by the Canadian social
philosopher Charles Taylor illustrates the way to approach the study of change in this
holistic fashion, thus providing a concrete alternative to atomistic accounts of change. I
end up with a brief discussion on the dynamics of social change in general.
Elena Semenova on "Survival of Nomenklatura in Post-Soviet Russia"
Presentation at the international conference “Elite (Dis-)continuities in East and Central
Europe since 1989/90”, Jena, Germany (December 8-9, 2011)
----------------------------------------------------After the collapse of the Soviet Union, new institutions emerged and changed a structure
of opportunities for political elites. In some areas of society, post-Soviet Russia has attempted to distance itself from its Soviet heritage. A large proportion of former nomenclature members, however, survived the collapse of the Soviet Union and adopted themselves to new political and economical circumstances. The presentation pursues two
aims. The first aim is to reveal structural and functional continuities in the formation of
post-Soviet political elites. The second aim is to access the effect of the nomenclature
background on political careers. Longitudinal data of recruitment patterns and career
paths of post-Soviet parliamentarians, cabinet ministers and regional prime ministers

(governors) are used. This presentation contributes to a better understanding of structural and functional patterns of elite formation and circulation in post-communist countries.
Leonhard K. Lades on "Impulsive Consumption and Reflexive Thought: Nudging
Ethical Consumer Behavior"
Grenzen der Konsumentensouveränität, Tagung in der Reihe Normative und institutionelle Grundfragen der Ökonomik, Evangelische Akademie Tutzing, March 7-9, 2012
----------------------------------------------------The paper deals with impulsive consumption and highlights the roles that cognitive and
motivational aspects of reflexive thought (namely self-control and self-image motives,
respectively) play in intertemporal decisions. While self-control inhibits individuals from
consuming impulsively, self-image motives can induce impulsive consumption. Based on
recent neuroscientific findings about ‘wanting’–‘liking’ dissociations, the paper presents a
potential motivational mechanism underlying such impulsive consumption decisions. Utilizing the knowledge of this mechanism and acknowledging both cognitive and motivational aspects of reflexive thought, the paper expands on three libertarian paternalistic
means to foster an ethical way of impulsive consumption: strengthening willpower, reducing impulsive desires to consume, and guiding impulsive behavior in ethical directions
by making salient certain self-images that favor ethical consumption.
Dario Montero on "A Taylorian approach to the study of social movements: The
student protests in Chile"
Presentation at the international conference “ALTERNATIVE FUTURES and POPULAR PROTEST XVII” organized by the Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, England
(April 2-4, 2012)
----------------------------------------------------David Snow’s interpretive approach for the study of social movements relies on a series
of assumptions which unfit this theory to properly understand the emergence of this kind
of collective phenomenon. These assumptions refer to the preeminence of the individual
and its interests over the group; an emphasis on cognitive/articulate interpretive processes; the active role of social movement organizational elite versus the rather passive
role of the people (possible participants), among others. Following my own hermeneutical
approach –recently developed based on ideas from the social philosopher Charles Taylor
— I propose to understand the emergence of social movements as a result of a clash of
self-interpretations, say, between the political doctrines and policies of the government in
power and the aspirations of the citizenry.
Drawing on the example of the 2011 student protests in Chile, I want to argue that the
outburst of a revolution or protest presupposes (and is expression of) a ‘social culture’
(or citizen culture) of self-rule, in the sense the historian Gabriel Salazar uses it, which in
turn has to be understood as the fruit of a long historical process: as the product of a
dialectics or tension between divergent self-interpretations.
Maria K. Pavlova presented the paper "Supportive family and community contribute to East Germans’ willingness to be civically and politically engaged"
(with Rainer K. Silbereisen)
2nd International Multidisciplinary Conference “Political and Civic Participation”, University of Surrey, UK, April 16-17, 2012.
----------------------------------------------------Given that psychological factors, such as scepticism about the effectiveness of collective
action, are among the major obstacles for civic and political engagement in the former
Page 16
Newsletter 0101-2012
2012
East Germany, it is important to address its cognitive antecedents. In the present study,
we drew on the developmental systems theory and the theory of planned behaviour to
investigate the role of supportive social contexts for East Germans’ intentions to be engaged. Participants were 1390 East Germans aged 20–40 surveyed by telephone in winter 2010–2011. We conducted multiple regression analyses to predict cognitive antecedents of civic and political engagement from self-report indicators of supportive family,
friends and acquaintances, local authorities, and neighbourhood, controlling for sociodemographic variables, social capital, and past experience of civic and political engagement. Supportive family, supportive local authorities, and perceived good neighbourhood,
but not supportive friends and acquaintances, were positively associated with intentions
via attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived control concerning civic and political engagement. As our participants reported high support from their families but low support
from local authorities and neighbourhoods on average, policy makers may be advised to
focus on community asset building to foster civic and political engagement in the former
East Germany.
Alexia Gaudeul on “Do Consumers Prefer Offers that are Easy to Compare? An
Experimental Investigation” (with Paolo Crosetto)
8th annual Competition & Regulation Meeting on the topic of Behavioral Competition and
Regulation, hosted by the Amsterdam Center for Law & Economics (ACLE), Amsterdam,
Netherlands (April 20, 2012)
----------------------------------------------------Consumers make mistakes when facing complex purchasing decision problems but if at
least some consumers disregard any offers that is difficult to compare with others then
firms will adopt common ways to present their offers and thus make choice easier. We
design an original experiment to identify consumers’ choice heuristics in the lab. Subjects
are asked to choose from menus of offers and we measure the extent to which they favor
those offers that are easy to compare with others in the menu. A sufficient number of
subjects do so with sufficient intensity for offers presented in common terms to generate
higher revenues than offers that are expressed in an idiosyncratic way.
Alexia Gaudeul on “The role of reciprocation in social network formation, with
an application to blogging” (with Caterina Giannetti)
13th annual conference of the Association for Public Economic Theory, hosted by the Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan (June 12-14, 2012)
----------------------------------------------------This paper deals with the role of reciprocation in the formation of individuals' social networks. We follow the activity of a panel of bloggers over more than a year and investigate the extent to which initiating a relation brings about its reciprocation. We adapt a
standard capital investment model to study how reciprocation affects the build-up of the
individual social capital of bloggers, as measured by their links and interactions with others. This allows us to measure the role of content production and relationship building in
the dynamics of online social networks and to distinguish between the social networking
and media aspects of blogging.
Elena Semenova on "Elite Foundations of Russia: Personality and Institutional
Structure”
Presentation at the XXIInd World Congress of Political Science, Madrid, Spain (July 8-12,
2012)
----------------------------------------------------The “great social experiment” of 1990-91 led to the rebirth of parliamentary democracy
in Russia after decades of dictatorship. The new Russian parliamentarians, though not
Page 17
Newsletter 0101-2012
2012
necessarily complete political novices, were “newcomers” to the world of representative
democracy. Learning by doing, the new MPs, as the actors in parliamentary democracy,
had to define their roles as the elected representatives of the people and accustom
themselves to the rules of the parliamentary “game”. During the 1990s, political scientists had hoped that the development of Russia would have been democratic. In the first
decade of the 2000s, Russia has decayed to a consolidated autocratic regime according
to the Freedom House Index. Political elites have actively contributed to this development. This proposal focuses on the members of the national parliament in Russia and
through inclusion of personal factors aims at improving our understanding of parliamentary recruitment, legislative careers and personality of MPs. In this paper, personal characteristics such as motivation and perceptions of social context by Russian Members of
Parliament (MPs) are investigated. The results of the analysis will be connected with general patterns of legislative recruitment and careers in post-Soviet Russia. This analysis
focuses on the fifth term of the Russian Duma (2007-2011) and is based on 30 in-depth
interviews with MPs and 10 expert interviews.
Elena Semenova on "Career Duration of Russian Prime Ministers (1991-2011)"
Presentation at the XXIInd World Congress of Political Science, Madrid, Spain (July 8-12,
2012)
----------------------------------------------------This paper aims to analyze regional differences in career duration of Russian governors
from 1991 until 2012. Russian federal system consists of regions which differ from each
other in their competencies and rights in economic and regional politics. And, more specifically, Russian regions differ from each other in proportion of ethnic minorities living
there. We expect that Prime Ministers in economically powerful regions stay longer in
their office; and that career duration of Prime Ministers in ethnic regions lasts longer than
in other Russian regions.
Maria K. Pavlova will present the paper "Cumulative disadvantage explains age
divergence in well-being between employed and unemployed Germans" (with
Rainer K. Silbereisen)
XXX International Congress of Psychology, Cape Town, South Africa, July 22-27, 2012.
Her attendance at this conference will be partly supported by the ProChance Programme,
University of Jena.
----------------------------------------------------The negative impact of unemployment on subjective well-being (SWB) is well known, but
the role of age in this relationship remains unclear. We suggest that the age-related duration of current employment status contributes to greater SWB among the employed
and to lower SWB among the unemployed via the life-course mechanism of cumulative
advantage and disadvantage. In particular, in the context of a stable labour market with
low job mobility and high unemployment rates, as in Germany in the mid 2000s, some
labour market entrants quickly achieve stable employment and start to accumulate related benefits, whereas the others are channelled into long-term unemployment, whereby
their resources are depleted. With age, such cumulative processes may exacerbate the
well-known gap in SWB between the employed and the unemployed. To test this proposition, we used cross-sectional data on employed (n = 1382) and unemployed (n = 254)
Germans (age 18–42) surveyed in 2005. By estimating a moderated mediation model,
we found that, among currently employed individuals, relatively older age predicted
longer employment duration (tenure), which was related to higher SWB via higher income and higher perceived occupational security. Among currently unemployed individuals, age predicted longer unemployment duration, which was associated with lower SWB
Page 18
Newsletter 0101-2012
2012
via lower perceived social support. Thus, age was indirectly related to higher SWB in employed individuals and to lower SWB in unemployed individuals, which supported our expectations. Findings also shed light on the psychosocial advantages of long-term employment, which were not the polar opposites of the disadvantages of long-term unemployment.
