Political Polarization and the Dynamics between Actual Income and Perceived Income Inequality in the United States, 1987 to 2021
The rich often perceive lower levels of inequality than the poor. In recent decades, however, notions regarding the equality or inequality of our society have progressively taken on a more political nature. Consequently, people’s perceptions of income inequality may be less associated with their actual income status and more with their political ideology. The authors visualize this “political turn” using data from the U.S. General Social Survey (…
Class and class conflict: An objective‐subjective interactive approach
Class conflict is one of the biggest sources of social tension. But why do some individuals perceive more class conflict than others? In this article, we consider how subjective self‐placement interacts with objective social class to shape people's perception of class conflict. We argue that the common finding that individuals often misidentify with the incorrect class can have implications on how they perceive class conflict in their society. An…
How Does Actual Inequality Shape People's Perceptions of Inequality? A Class Perspective
While some scholars suggest that awareness of income inequality is strongest when the actual level of inequality is high, others find that individuals' awareness of income inequality is largely unresponsive to actual inequality. In this article, we argue that individuals in different social class positions often respond to the actual levels of income inequality distinctively, and therefore a class perspective is essential in understanding how act…
Class, partisanship and the great recession: The conflicting influences on attitudes towards inequality during economic crises
While some scholars suggest that critical attitudes towards inequality follow the class gradient during recessions, others find that classes are largely unresponsive. In this article, I consider how party affiliation interacts with class to shape perceptions of inequality during a recession. I argue that it is important to look at the interplay between class and partisanship to better understand individual views towards inequality during times of…
How Class Shapes Critical Resentment Toward Inequality: The Competing Forces of Stratification and Politics
Some scholars see class as increasingly irrelevant in shaping opinions toward inequality, while others maintain that it endures. However, what is often problematic with research in this area is the conflation of class and status. Further, contemporary accounts of peoples’ perceptions of inequality often draw on insights from stratification or from political affiliation but do not consider the interplay between these. This article fills this gap b…
Class identification in New Zealand: An analysis of the relationship between class position and subjective social location
Using data collected by two New Zealand surveys in 1999 and 2009, I explore the connection between the objective social class positions of individuals and their own subjective perceptions of these circumstances. Class position is 'operationalized' using a newer variant of Goldthorpe's schema, the European Socioeconomic Classification (ESeC). Through regression analyses, it is demonstrated that 'objective' forces contain positive predictive conseq…
Exploring the Epistemological Fallacy: Subjectivity and Class in the Lives of Young People
The relevance and continuation of class in late modern society has been at the heart of contemporary debates in youth studies. Beck and others argue that major social changes are impacting individual’s relationships with status-based classes. Individuals have been ‘disembedded’ from traditional communal contexts and re-embedded into new modes in which the ability to create life paths and new identities is achieved through individual reflexivity. …
Managing everyday life: The conceptualisation and value of cultural capital in navigating everyday life for working-class youth
This article draws upon Bourdieu's concept of ‘cultural capital’ to examine how working-class young people negotiate and navigate everyday life in their neighbourhoods. Young people's relationship with cultural capital has traditionally been conceptualised by its value in the formal institutional setting (i.e. schools); being ‘owned’ and ‘used’ by parents or professional workers such as teachers to advantage (or disadvantage) certain groups; or b…
