Political Polarization in How Perceived Social Similarity Impacts Support For Redistribution
The literature presumes that boosting similarity should boost support for redistributive policies that reduce economic inequality. But the effect of social similarity may be more complex. Perceiving high (vs. low) social similarity increases liberals’, but lowers conservatives’, redistribution support, because it weakens liberals’, but strengthens conservatives’, justification of unequal outcomes.
