Absztrakt 

This paper analyzes how perceived income inequality is associated with subjective social status. Using four waves of the “Social Inequality” module of the International Social Survey Programme, I show that the higher the level of perceived income inequality is, the lower the individual’s perception of her social standing, even if objective income inequality and preferences for the legitimate level of income inequality are controlled for. In addition, the results shows that the discrepancy between an individual’s perceived income inequality and the individual’s perception of legitimate level of income inequality (perceived unfairness) moderates the association between income inequality and subjective social status. For individuals with low perceived fairness, the estimated negative effects are larger than for individuals with higher perceived fairness. The analysis also provides evidence that the estimated associations are stronger for individuals with low income, lower education, and living in countries with postcommunist history.

Keywords: subjective social status, inequality perception, income inequality, fairness of income distribution
