Quantitative Social Research

Chair 04 | Prof. Dr. Katrin Auspurg

Welcome to our chair!

We focus on research methods (experiments, surveys, replications), social inequality (e.g., gender inequality, ethnic discrimination), and attitudes toward and acceptance of political measures (e.g., in the environmental sector).

We are empirical-analytical

We deliver clear and precise analyses based on meaningful data and accurate, logically consistent theories. Our research follows the principles of critical rationalism.
