The Roots of Solidarity
The collective efforts of individuals with the least amount of resources, status, and power in a society can be a powerful tool for reducing inequality. In the current research, we examine the links between identity and support for reducing inequality . Recruiting two online surveys of individuals with objectively low social class standing (i.e., low education, low income) and applying regression analysis, we find that those who subjectively iden…
Fueling the fire
The 2024 US presidential election unfolded in an environment of heightened polarization, widespread distrust, and unprecedented public anger. Drawing on the Anger Activism Model (AAM), we examined this period of history to assess how anger interacts with external political efficacy to shape opposition toward democratic behaviors and support for partisan and political violence. Using data from a rolling cross‐sectional national survey of US adults…
Perceived Social Contribution
Feeling as though one meaningfully contributes to society benefits physical health, psychological resilience, and political participation. Thus, any bias in what is perceived as a contribution has the potential to systematically disenfranchise people and exclude them from recognition and dignity. Extending past work showing that helping distant others (i.e., bridging help, e.g., volunteering) is perceived as contributing more to society than help…
Who feels they contribute to U.S. society? Helping behaviors and social class disparities in perceived contributions
Americans in lower (vs. higher) social class contexts are less likely to believe they contribute to society. Helping others by giving one's time is an important way of contributing to others that also varies with social class. Five studies ( N = 7,326) investigated whether one source of the social class disparity in perceived contributions is a default model that considers helping distant others (i.e., bridging help , e.g., volunteering) as more …
Mitigating welfare-related prejudice and partisanship among U.S. conservatives with moral reframing of a universal basic income policy
Inequality and deep poverty have risen sharply in the US since the 1990s. Simultaneously, cash-based welfare policies have frayed, support for public assistance has fallen on the political right, and prejudice against recipients of welfare has remained high. Yet, in recent years Universal Basic Income (UBI) has gained traction, a policy proposing to give all citizens cash sufficient to meet basic needs with no strings attached. We hypothesized th…
