Abstract:

In the US, Australia, Great Britain, and Italy, sex, education, income, and class are inconsistent predictors of whether people resort to structural or individualistic reasons to explain inequality. In the US, racial minorities are more likely to represent structural attributions for inequality. Across all nations, individualistic attributions decrease and structural attributions increase support for government redistribution.
