Study 1 + 2 > As vehicles are reliable indicators of a person's social rank and wealth (15), we used observers’ codes of vehicle status (make, age, and appearance) to index drivers’ social class. Study 3 > Participants also reported their social class using the MacArthur scale of subjective SES [1]. Study 4 > Participants experienced either a low or high relative social-class rank by comparing themselves to people with the most (least) money, most (least) education, and most (least) respected jobs. Participants also rated their position in the socioeconomic hierarchy relative to people at the very top or bottom. This induction primes subjective perceptions of relatively high or low social-class rank. Study 5 > Participants also reported their social class using the MacArthur scale Study 6 > Participants also completed the measures of social class and attitudes toward greed that we used in study 5. Study 7 > Participants also reported their social class using the previously described MacArthur measure. ___ 1. https://macses.ucsf.edu/research/psychosocial/subjective.php https://macses.ucsf.edu/research/psychosocial/subjective.php
