MaxPlanckResearch 4/2011 – Focus: Migrants – Science integrates the Topic of Immigrants. Every fifth German has a migration background – that corresponds to more than 16 million people. Not only politicians and authorities must respond to this demographic trend. Researchers also increasingly turn their attention to the subject of migration. In this issue of our research magazine, Max Planck scientists examine the topic from three different angles.

Hydrogen is one of the energy sources of the future. But just when this environmentally friendly substance will be adopted on a large scale to fuel our cars remains to be seen.
On the other hand, gaseous hydrogen must be stored in exceptionally stable containers

The expectations people have about how others will behave play a large role in determining whether people cooperate with each other or not. And moreover that very first expectation, or impression, is hard to change. „This is particularly true when the impression is a negative one,“ says Michael Kurschilgen from the Max Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods in Bonn, summarising the key findings of a study in which he and his colleagues Christoph Engel and Sebastian Kube examined the results of so-called public good games. One’s own expectation thereby becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy: those who expect people to act selfishly, actually experience uncooperative behaviour from others more often.
In Bonn, on the other hand, the figure was 82 per cent.
