Structural Origins of Intersectional Stereotype Content
People are stereotyped according to multiple identities—or social categories—at once, giving rise to “intersectional stereotypes” about warmth and competence. Most work on the structural roots of stereotype content—especially intergroup inequalities and divisions of labor—focuses on whole social categories rather than intersectional identities, so it is an open question whether these theories account for intersectional stereotype content as well.…
Discrimination reduces work effort of those who are disadvantaged and those who are advantaged by it
Intersectional Complexity in Stereotype Content
Research on stereotypes often focuses on discrete, isolated social categories (e.g., gender or race), and rarely centers the fact that people belong to many social categories at once (e.g., gender and race). In a large factorial experiment (N=1,762) I measure two dimensions of stereotypes—warmth and competence—across 360 intersections of gender, sexuality, age, race/ethnicity, and social class. Warmth stereotypes were complex in the sense that on…

Measuring Perceptions of Economic Inequality and Justice: An Empirical Assessment
Judgments of Economic Fairness Are Based More on Perceived Economic Mobility Than Perceived Inequality
Are judgments of the fairness of the American economy based on perceptions of economic inequality, mobility, or both? In two experiments, the authors varied information on levels of U.S. inequality and mobility, measuring effects on individuals' judgments of economic fairness and meritocracy. Although both treatments influenced perceptions of economic fairness and meritocracy, the mobility effect was generally larger. The two treatments did not i…
The Roots of Reciprocity: Gratitude and Reputation in Generalized Exchange Systems
Social scientists often study the flow of material and social support as generalized exchange systems. These systems are associated with an array of benefits to groups and communities, but their existence is problematic, because individuals may be motivated to take from the system without giving back to it. Researchers have identified two broad processes governing prosociality in generalized exchange systems: generalized reciprocity (a person who…
Higher Inequality Increases the Gap in the Perceived Merit of the Rich and Poor
The rewards people receive are often taken as indirect evidence of their merit. We outline an argument that addresses how the magnitude of macrolevel income inequalities affects perceptions of the distribution of merit in a society. We propose that higher levels of economic inequality will lead to perceptions of greater differences in merit such that societies with higher inequality will be characterized by a larger “merit gap,” namely, larger di…
