It delves into the experiences of over-indebted individuals and explores the practices they employ to manage their endangered social identity. Through a detailed investigation, the authors aim to contribute to academic research on identity and the middle class while also promoting a broader social understanding of these issues. The research project, led by Jo Reicherts, provides insights into the social dynamics and identity work of middle-class individuals, highlighting the complex interplay between personal identity and socio-economic factors.Generated by AI.Middle classGenerated by AIIdentity (Psychology)Generated by AIMiddle classIdentity (Psychology)332.708622Müller Marion194597Pfeil Patricia1435000Dengel Udo1435001Donath Lisa1435002MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910755088503321Identity under Pressure3592093UNINA
