Sigrid Roßteutscher

Prof. Sigrid Roßteutscher, Ph.D., is a faculty member at Goethe University Frankfurt/Main. Her research focuses on political efficacy, electoral behavior, youth engagement, and socioeconomic disparities in political participation.

Her work examines the impact of political self-efficacy on voting patterns, the consequences of lowering the voting age, and the interplay between academic self-efficacy and educational decisions. She also explores rural-urban divides, gender ideologies, and party polarization's effects on voter turnout.

The most recent publications analyze electoral inequality, group-related political efficacy, and the dynamics of extremist violence on religious identification. Her studies often employ natural experiments and longitudinal data to assess democratic quality and reform outcomes.

Collaborations with researchers like Garritzmann, Faas, Leininger, and Schäfer are central to her work, particularly in projects related to the German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES) and RISS initiatives.
