“…Evidence in other research areas is consistent with this claim. It has been shown that high-income individuals are more likely to attribute the causes of certain outcomes to controllable factors in regard to beliefs about academic success, financial problems, and career success (Caplan & Schooler, 2007; Daganzo & Bernardo, 2018; Faria, 2004; Hu et al, 2020).…”

Prior research has established many factors which are linked with mental illness stigma (MIS). One such factor is that of socioeconomic status (SES). The current research intended to address if the link between SES, specifically income level, and MIS might be explained by social dominance orientation (SDO) and the legitimizing myth that mental illness onset is controllable in nature. A sample of 926 participants reported their level of household income and completed self-report measures of MIS, SDO, and mental illness controllability attributions (MI-Control). Results demonstrated that higher levels of income were associated with higher levels of MIS, SDO, and MI-Control. Furthermore, a significant three-path mediated effect was found from SES to MIS through SDO and MI-Control. Findings highlight the extent to which sociodemographic factors may be linked with negative attitudes toward those with mental illnesses, particularly when such factors work in tandem with competitive social worldviews. Implications in regard to the importance of socioeconomically diverse mental health funding committees are discussed.

“…As the social cognition perspective on social class suggests ( Kraus et al, 2012 ), social class contexts elicit a coherent set of social cognitive patterns of thought, including the perception of personal control. Specifically, the upper social class context generates a stronger sense of control than the lower social class context ( Kraus et al, 2009 ; Daganzo and Bernardo, 2018 ). This is consistent with the event-control approach, which asserts that context information can modulate individual’s sense of control ( Jordan, 2003 ; Di Plinio et al, 2019 ).…”

“…Social class is a context rooted in both the resources of social life (e.g., wealth, education, occupation) and the individual's perceived rank within the social hierarchy (Kraus et al, 2009(Kraus et al, , 2012. Traditionally, researchers measure social class in terms of objective indicators such as the individual's level of education, income, and occupation prestige (Kraus et al, 2009(Kraus et al, , 2012Daganzo and Bernardo, 2018).…”

“…Social class is typically conceptualized as a reflection of multiple features of social life ( Fiske and Markus, 2012 ; Kraus and Keltner, 2013 ; Daganzo and Bernardo, 2018 ). Social class is a context rooted in both the resources of social life (e.g., wealth, education, occupation) and the individual’s perceived rank within the social hierarchy ( Kraus et al, 2009 , 2012 ).…”

“…One reason that social class is linked with generalized trust may be that members of different social classes differ in their sense of control. Several studies have documented a disparity in sense of control felt by members of the upper and lower social classes, with upper class individuals typically reporting greater perceived control over their life ( Lachman and Weaver, 1998 ; Kraus et al, 2009 ; Daganzo and Bernardo, 2018 ).…”

The Relationship Between Social Class and Generalized Trust: The Mediating Role of Sense of Control

The success and well-being theory of trust holds that higher social class is associated with higher generalized trust, and this association has been well documented in empirical research. However, few studies have examined the processes that might explain this link. This study extends this assumption to explore the mediating mechanism in the association. We hypothesized that social class would positively predict generalized trust, and the relationship would be mediated by people’s sense of control. Self-report data were collected from 480 adults (160 males, 320 females; ages 18–61) who participated through an online crowdsourcing platform in China. The results of multiple regression and mediation analyses supported the hypothesized model. This research provides further support for the success and well-being theory of trust, and builds on it by identifying greater sense of control as a possible explanation for the link between high social class and generalized trust. Limitations and possible future research are discussed.
