Abstract

Does the effect of class-based zero-sum beliefs on class solidarity and support for redistributive policy depend on race-based zero-sum beliefs? In previous studies in this project, we showed that those who believe that the upper class gains at the expense of the working class are more likely to stand in solidarity with the working class, in turn informing their support for redistributive policy. In the current study, we examine the moderating effect of race-based zero-sum beliefs on these effects.
