The study
The study surveyed 420 Jews in Germany between December 2022 and March 2023. It distinguished everyday, subtle, and collective antisemitism, perceived prevalence of antisemitism, vigilance, and Jewish identification. Psychological outcomes included subjective wellbeing, anxiety, depression, and social participation. The survey preceded October 7 and should not be read as evidence about changes following the attacks.
Reported experiences
The response distributions show differences between experiences. Being blamed for Israel’s policies and hearing conspiracy theories about Jews were reported more frequently than poor service in restaurants or stores. The interactive distribution view reproduces the printed percentages for eight selected items in Figure 1 and allows visitors to inspect all response categories rather than reducing experiences to a single percentage.
Associations with outcomes
Everyday antisemitism was associated with lower subjective wellbeing (r = −.30), lower social participation (r = −.19), higher anxiety (r = .38), and higher depression (r = .35). The interactive correlation view includes everyday, subtle, and collective antisemitism, perceived prevalence, and vigilance, together with their published 95% confidence intervals. It retains nonsignificant associations rather than showing only the strongest findings.
Unadjusted and adjusted results
The displayed correlations are bivariate associations. The paper also reports regression models that account for demographics and the other focal predictors. Following Holm–Bonferroni adjustment, everyday antisemitism remained significantly associated with all four outcomes, whereas the other focal predictors did not. A correlation in the explorer therefore should not be interpreted as an independent effect in the multivariable models.
What the design can establish
Because experiences and outcomes were measured in the same survey, the results do not establish causal direction. The distributions describe this study sample rather than population prevalence, and the profile analysis reported in the paper addresses a different question from the correlations. The explorer links to the article and identifies the source of each numerical display.
