James F. Evans Collection, This study provides a quantitative content analysis of the depictions of sex roles in the American news magazine Time and the West German news magazine Stern from 1969 to 1988. The underlying assumption of the study is that advertisements reflect changes in social reality. While most studies focus on explicit aspects of gender role depictions such as jobs, activities, interactions and situations, this content analysis also covers implicit aspects of role depictions such as posture, gestures, and facial expression. Some authors have claimed that these are powerful means of transmitting traditional sex role stereotypes of women as being submissive and of men being dominant. Results indicate that while there have been considerable changes in the explicit presentation of male and female roles, the implicit presentation remained quite consistent over the 20-year period. According to these findings, sex roles may have changed primarily on the surface, while nonverbal sex role stereotypes still linger on. Differences between the developments in Germany and the US are outlined. (original)

Important results of a survey on "Information needs and information behavior in extension service in agriculture, home economics and nutrition" are given. This study was carried out by the Department for Economic and Social Sciences of the Technical University of Munich-Weihenstephan from May, 1979 to November, 1981. It revealed, by interviewing 14 leading personnel of documentation centers for nutrition, agriculture and forestry, that extension agents only form a very small sector of the centers' user. Various surveys using personal as well as written interviews and participant observation of extension agents resulted in a host of data on the determinants of extension agents' behavior toward information in general and "prophylactic" and "curative" in particular. Conclusions are drawn on optimal configurations of the future sources of information in the field of extension services in nutrition, home economics, and agriculture.

18 pages, Recent studies cast doubt on the ability of abstract experiments to predict decision-making in the field. Thus, scholars have argued for more ‘realism’ by introducing context to field experiments. Yet, such realism may work against the induced values of monetary incentives in economic experiments. It is an open question whether contextual framing works best with or without inducing values, through methods such as the use of monetary incentives. Using a sample of 146 German farmers, we compare experimentally the predictive power of a framed lottery in an agricultural context vs. using an abstract version. For one half of the sample, lotteries are incentivised; for the other half, they are hypothetical. Although risk preferences differ between treatments, all four lottery tasks correlate poorly with farmers’ real-world use of risk management instruments such as harvest or hail insurance. Subjects who start with an agricultural framing are willing to take significantly greater risks in the lotteries. More generally, our findings cast doubt on the ability of lottery tasks to predict risk-taking in the field.
