Economic inequality and perspective taking
Alberto Lucietto (Università di Padova)
Considering that some authors found that:
-Progressive taxation is associated with progressivity
-People with lower SES generally are more prosocial
-taking someone’s perspective makes you more similar to this person
The aim of these studies is to find if making people take someone else’s Vùvisual perspective can increase their support for progressivity. We did not find a direct effect, but further analysis evidenced a significant interaction between conditions and SSES in predicting progressivity support.
