title: The impact of socioeconomic factors on the sense of belonging amongst German academics in Groningen
creator: Kops, Yannick
description: In previously conducted research, the relationship between socioeconomic status and inclusion have been explored, narrowed down by specifying the research group to highly-educated individuals or specific cultural groups. Furthermore, exploring how socioeconomic status has impacted the forming of social groups. This research will explore a broader socioeconomic framework and how that impacts the two dimensional, socio-spatial and emotional central place-belongingness, sense of belonging framework. A semi-structured interview guide and a Code Co-Occurrence Table are used to analyse the data. It is found that the perceived social distance to the local community, which is a social component of a sense of belonging, is negatively impacted by socioeconomic factors. However, the status and appreciation that come from working at the University of Groningen tap into the emotional dimension of a sense of belonging.
