Scientific Importance

The focus of the work Zapfs are - in chronological consideration of their working - in the field of elite research, social modernization and closely connected to the theories of social change, social reporting and social indicators research.

Zapf's first publications deal with the elite research, especially with the long-term historical change in the German elite. Well in connection with his interest for long -term processes of social change at the macro level, which he thematized in his habilitation developed. Obviously, he came into contact with the modernization of research, which was in the 1960s in the United States in vogue. From this he created his first work on modernization theory and the anthology " theories of social change ." The empirical formulation should be done in one hand, the historical- comparative data collection for the development of Western European societies; this, he applied together with Peter Flora HIWED the project ( Historical indicators Western European democracies ). On the other side stood the implementation of the Social Indicators Research, whose origins also lie in the 1960s in the USA, in Germany. The SPES project (social -political decision - making system in the Federal Republic of Germany ) should develop a system of social macro indicators. The main products of this work was the "Sociological Almanac " (Editor: Eike Ballerstedt and Wolfgang Glatzer ) and the anthology " living conditions in the Federal Republic " (1977, 21978 ), which latter book applied the instrument of social indicators to the Federal Republic. Core of the band is a so-called " Social Indicators Tableau" with several hundred indicators, which have been quantified. A historical longer -term view of social development in Germany since the 19th century took place in the work of "change living conditions in Germany " (1982).

New ground in sociology in terms of mass data analysis was trodden by Zapf's assistant Johann Handl, Karl Ulrich Mayer and Walter Müller SPES project by evaluating the follow-up survey to the 1971 micro-census; the publication " class positions and social structure " represents the first created with microdata class analysis for Germany

It soon turned out that many social issues alone could not capture with macro indicators, since the main source of the indicators was the official statistics, which in particular does not engage in opinion and attitude research. Analogous to the American situation, efforts were made to develop a social survey which subjective and objective issues raised together, which could thus be related to one another: this instrument was the " Welfare Survey ". The central publication - based on evaluations of this survey - was "Quality of life in the Federal Republic: Objective living conditions and subjective well-being " (1984). Many other publications that used this data source, followed, up to the present "Data Report". The central theoretical concept of this work was the welfare and quality of life research for the U.S. model. The development of panel studies in the 1980s, such as the German Socio - Economic Panel, provided an opportunity to integrate elements of the welfare surveys in this panel study, and thus reflect the quality of life in longitudinal section.

With these data sources is now a solid foundation for varied " data compilations ," Social Structure and welfare analysis was created. Zapf's change at the Science Center Berlin in 1987 and the collapse of East Germany opened a new research field. First could be created by the expansion of the welfare surveys to East Germany a data basis for a social science research transformation. Over the last two decades, the separate analysis and comparison of East and West, however, was always nonrepresentational.

Zapf's theoretical background remained the modernization theory and he is regarded as the most prominent representative of "modernization research " in German sociology. The core of the modernization he sees in the " increase in overall social adjustment and control capacities, ie as a positive balance of increasing resources and increasing loads. " Central were for him in the course of time concepts of social control, social planning and social innovation capability of companies. The collapse of the socialist economic system gave him an opportunity to expand his theoretical ideas, such as by the concept of " nachgeholten modernization".

Representative of newer concepts of modernization research are of modernization theory in the strict sense, the PTO " an American invention of the 50s ", referred to as, critical of. This revised version of modernization theory is less ethnocentric and path-dependent and is also the successes and drawbacks (eg, environmental hazards, arms competitions, outside economic effects of the western industrialized countries ) against sensitive. So with Rucht social modernization " a varied and by no means a linear process, characterized by non-contemporaneous sequences, setbacks and conflicting part Developments". The underlying the transaction " model of a modern society" could be achieved in a limited number "of different development paths ."

Zapf was successful in the promotion and placement of young sociologists as among his former students and staff Karl Ulrich Mayer, Walter Müller, Peter Flora, Johann Handl, Jens Alber, Wolfgang Glatzer, Heinz -Herbert Noll, Jürgen Kohl, Roland Habich, Franz Roth Bacher and many others.
