(2017): Leader social accounts of subordinates' unethical behavior. Examining observer reactions to leader social accounts with moral disengagement language. In: The Journal of applied psychology 102 (10), S. 1448-1461. DOI: 10.1037/apl0000233
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28493747 Abstract: When providing social accounts (Sitkin & Bies, 1993) for the unethical conduct of subordinates, leaders may use language consistent with cognitive strategies described by Bandura (1991, 1999) in his work on moral disengagement. That is, leader's social accounts may reframe or reconstrue subordinates' unethical conduct such that it appears less reprehensible. We predict observers will respond negatively to leaders when they use moral disengagement language within social accounts and, specifically, observers will ostracize these leaders. In addition, we predict that observer moral disengagement propensity moderates this effect, such that the relationship between leaders' use of moral disengagement language within a social account and ostracism is stronger when observer moral disengagement propensity is lower versus higher. Finally, we predict that the reason why observers ostracize the leader is because observers perceive the leader's social account with moral disengagement language as unethical. Thus, perceived leader social account ethicality is predicted to mediate the interaction effect of leader's use of moral disengagement language within social accounts and observer moral disengagement propensity on ostracism. Results from an experiment and field study support our predictions. Implications for theory and practice are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record

(2013): Ungleichheit sozialer Teilhabe im Alter. In: Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie 46 (5), S. 410-416. DOI: 10.1007/s00391-013-0498-4
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23864320 Abstract: The concept of active ageing comprises the maintenance of societal participation throughout the life span into old age. "Good" ageing in line with this activity paradigm develops into a starting point of social inequality rather than being its result. Based on the German Ageing Survey (DEAS) we investigated access to volunteering and to educational activities depending on social and spatial aspects of inequality. Societal participation is socially and spatially structured. Individuals from a lower social class are less often involved in educational activities or in volunteering. Moreover, individuals living in economically disadvantaged regions are less likely to participate than in economically strong regions. Disadvantages cumulate if low individual resources overlap with poor economic conditions in the living area. Measures to facilitate participation should be taken on the local level to enhance opportunities for volunteering and educational activities. This should help to sustainably increase the participation of individuals from lower social classes.

(2004): Group Work as an Antidote to the Isolation of Bearing an Invisible Stigma. In: Social Work With Groups 26 (3), S. 33-43. DOI: 10.1300/J009v26n03_05
Abstract: This article examines the experience of social stigma, both visible and invisible, faced by many of the clients seen in social work groups. The author uses the work of Goffman (1963) as a theoretical base for a discussion of the dilemmas of coping with stigma, especially when it is invisible to others. After reviewing related literature, the author reflects on common themes in group work with incest survivors and the infertile. Emphasis is placed on the immediate benefits of seeing and hearing others who live with the same stigma. Implications for practice are presented.
