The hunchback heuristic predicts the attribution of anger to low status groups and calm to high status groups https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25462 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:19:27 AEST ]]> Why do people from low-status groups support class systems that disadvantage them? A test of two mainstream explanations in Malaysia and Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34139 weak. In contrast, we put forward an explanation based on social identity theory (SIT) that proposes that class-system justification is an identity-management strategy that should be most apparent amongst individuals from lower-status groups when group interests are strong. Results from three experiments (combined N = 626), conducted in Malaysia and Australia, which varied subjective social class, provided stronger support for the SIT-based explanation that lower-status individuals endorse societal class systems more strongly when group interests are strong (Studies 1 a-b) and when the class system is perceived to be unstable in the long-term (Study 2).]]> Tue 12 Feb 2019 15:46:25 AEDT ]]>
