Outline Micro-Theory The De-Standardization of the Life Course (Brückner/Mayer 2004) Family Formation in Times of Abrupt Social and Economic Change (Huinink/Kreyenfeld 2004) Human Capital Investments or Norms of Role Transition? (Blossfeld/Huinink 1991) Gender, Social Inequality, and Family Formation in West Germany (Huinink/Mayer 1995)

Micro-Theory Age Norms Cognitions and Control Beliefs Biographical Schemas Life Review

Micro-Theory Concepts Continuity / Discontinuity Stabilization / Change Differentiation / Integration Inter-Individual Differences vs. Intra-Individual Change External – Internal Stimulus – Mechanism Chrnological Age vs. Duration of Exposure (to risk)

Micro-Theory of the Life Course Body / GenesOrganic development / maturation and functional aging Cognitive development and cognitive decline PsychePersonality development (temperament, coping styles, extroversion-introversion, control beliefs) Actor / InteractionSocial norms for life phases (infant, child, adolescent, adult, old age) Age norms for transitions / chronological and subjective age (on-time, off-time) Biographical projects, continuity and consistency Life goals, life designs Self-regulation (gains and losses, selective optimization with compensation, persistency, domain specificity) Consolation prizes, cooling out

Causal Micro-Theories of the Life Course Resource accumulation and resource conversion: Status attainment and human capital Disadvantages and handicaps Critical life events, turning points (e.g. midlife crisis) Protective factors, vulnerable conditions (e.g. early marriage, delayed marriage) The children of the Great Depression: Accumulation and accentuation / social deprivation and the army Switching points (Magnusson‘s early menarche girls, Grundmann‘s sons of stepfathers, early marriage and the intergenerational transmission of divorce Age and Deliquency (Sampson / Laub’s replication of the Glueck study and the effect of marriage)
