Popular Explanations of Poverty: A Critical Discussion of Empirical Research (2009, background): “Indeed, evidence of split-consciousness in beliefs about poverty can be traced in studies conducted in the US (Kluegel and Smith, 1986; cf. Lee et al., 1990; Hunt, 1996), as well as in European societies (Kluegel et al., 1995; Kreidl, 2000).”
The moral economy of inequality: popular views on income differentiation, poverty and wealth (2012, background): “…regularly prefer individual factors (e.g. hard work, skill, ambition) over structural ones (e.g. inheritance, political influence) in explaining wealth (Kreidl, 2000, p. 166; Hunt, 2004, p. 839; Becker et al., 2009, p. 160)—a pattern that is also present among the interviewees of the present study.”
Belief in a Zero-Sum Game as a Social Axiom (2015, background): “…stable, and global terms, such as abilities (cf. Mezulis, Abramson, Hyde, & Hankin, 2004, for meta-analysis), rather than in external terms, such as good luck and when personal successes are an explanation of wealth or success but not of poverty or failure (cf. Kreidl, 2000; Stephenson, 2000).”
