Folgende aus der Depressionsatiologie kommende Hypothese wird getestet: Misserfolge von Madchen werden eher mit mangelnder Begabung, Misserfolge von Jungen eher mit Aufgabenschwierigkeit, Pech und mangelnder Anstrengung erklart.

In einem Kulturvergleich zwischen der DDR und der Schweiz wird die Frage gestellt: Zog...
