Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: In this paper we propose to examine how individuals’ views toward the distribution of incomes in the United States are shaped by patterns of “objective” income inequality in their state and local contexts. When individuals reside in states or localities with high levels of income inequality, does this shape (1) how they perceive the income distribution in the United States, (2) the degree to which they perceive that income inequality is a problem, (3) their support for egalitarian values, and (4) their support for or opposition to possible policy options for addressing income inequality? To study these questions, we merge data on state and county income inequality (Guetzkow, Western, and Rosenfeld, 2007) with survey data from the 2002 and 2004 ANES surveys. We hypothesize that high levels of state and/or county income inequality will be related to individuals’ perceptions of income inequality and will facilitate the development of individuals’ egalitarian attitudes. Moreover, we speculate that income inequality activates the political meaning of income, so the relationship between income and our dependent variables will be contingent on the level of income inequality in their state and county contests.
