• Why Inequality Makes Europeans Less Happy: The Role of Distrust, Status Anxiety, and Perceived Conflict (2014, background): “The perceived amount of inequality strongly relates to the actual level of inequality in a society (e.g. Gijsberts, 2002), and in a German sample the mismatch between perceived inequality and what an individual considers legitimate has been shown to have a negative effect on SWB (Schneider, 2012).”
• How three narratives of modernity justify economic inequality (2016, unknown): “As predicted by the modernist approach, the fall of communism was followed by higher acceptance of income differences (e.g. Gijsberts, 2002).”
• Why Do People Accept Different Income Ratios? (2005, background): “What people perceive can be more important than what really exists; hence, many studies take into account differences between perceived and just incomes (Jasso, 1999; Verwiebe and Wegener, 2000; Gijsberts, 2002).”
• The paradox of inequality: income inequality and belief in meritocracy go hand in hand (2019, background): “In fact, research describes how people in more unequal societies grow more tolerant of inequality (Gijsberts, 2002; Schröder, 2017), echoing Marx’s claim that the ideological superstructure will follow society’s material base.”
• The moral economy of inequality: popular views on income differentiation, poverty and wealth (2012, background): “…hierarchy of legitimate income differences between occupations exists, with occupations requiring greater skill and education usually seen as deserving higher pay than those requiring little skill or education (Kelley and Evans, 1993; Svallfors, 1993; Gijsberts, 2002; Page and Jacobs, 2009, p. 32).”
