“Probably unsurprisingly, it turns out that members of privileged groups get a nice little mood boost from vaunting the greatness of the political and economic status quo. The research demonstrates that membership in a high-status group pays both material and psychological dividends. And the dark side is also true in that members of low-status groups are hit with a double cost, coupling their systematic oppression with the lower self-worth that comes with embracing the status quo. For the members of low-status groups, the feelings that accompany the endorsement of system-justifying views are not so warm and fuzzy.” (09/06/25)
