Science - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / sociology
English term or phrase: microfication
hat jemand von Euch den Begriff schon mal gehört?
Es handelt sich darum, dass etwas nicht auf Länder-/Gruppenebene untersucht wird, sondern am einzelnen Individuum. Mir würde jetzt nur wörtlich 'Mikrofizierung' einfallen, was im wissenschaftl. Kontext sicher jeder versteht. Aber vielleicht gibts ja etwas Schöneres.

Explanation:
Vielleicht. I have certainly never seen or heard of "microfication". Google shows 12 hits, but it looks as if they all stem from the same source, namely Gunhild O. Hagestad. (The R. Binstock references also derive from her)

She uses it in the context of aging, though, so I wonder if something along the lines of "auf altersbezogener Mikroebene" would be appropriate? Or even "gerontologischer Mikroebene"!
