Abstract

While Lott's commentary rightly calls for greater attention to the consequences of capitalism, we offer further discussion of one important issue: the psychological study of social class. This work has predominantly focused on the psychological consequences of class itself by studying the ways that objective and subjective status differences influence thought and behavior. We call for a broader approach that further acknowledges the psychology of class perceptions and beliefs, one means of legitimizing (or challenging) inequality under capitalism. The role of class beliefs as a justification of, or challenge to, the status quo presents an important area for future research. (100/100)
