The Economic Other Inequality in the American Political Imagination: A Study of Social Comparison and its Impact on Political Attitudes In today's world, technology has evolved so much that we cannot imagine our lives without it. From smartphones to smart homes, technology has made everything easier and more accessible. However, this evolution has also led to economic inequality being at a record high in the United States, which is a paradoxical situation. Meghan Condon and Amber Wichowsky have found that this paradox can be solved by focusing on social comparison. In their book, "The Economic Other they explore how powerful currents compete to propel attention either up or down towards the rich or the poor, pulling politics along with them. Through a blend of experiments, surveys, and descriptions from real people, the authors reveal that less-advantaged Americans become more accurate about their own status when comparing themselves with the rich. This comparison also makes them want more from the government. However, society is structured in such a way that prevents upward comparison, making it difficult for individuals to compare themselves with the wealthy. As a result, many lose confidence in their power to effect change.
Другое экономическое неравенство в американском политическом воображении: Исследование социального сравнения и его влияния на политические отношения В современном мире технология настолько развилась, что мы не можем представить свою жизнь без нее. От смартфонов до умных домов технологии сделали все проще и доступнее. Однако эта эволюция также привела к тому, что экономическое неравенство находится на рекордно высоком уровне в Соединенных Штатах, что является парадоксальной ситуацией. Меган Кондон и Эмбер Уичовски выяснили, что этот парадокс можно решить, сосредоточившись на социальном сравнении. В своей книге «The Economic Other» они исследуют, как мощные течения конкурируют, чтобы поднять внимание вверх или вниз к богатым или бедным, увлекая за собой политику. Благодаря сочетанию экспериментов, опросов и описаний реальных людей, авторы показывают, что менее обеспеченные американцы становятся более точными в отношении своего собственного статуса, сравнивая себя с богатыми. Это сравнение также заставляет их хотеть большего от правительства. Однако общество устроено таким образом, что препятствует восходящему сравнению, затрудняя индивидуумам сравнение себя с богатыми. В результате многие теряют уверенность в своих силах осуществить изменения.
Autres inégalités économiques dans l'imaginaire politique américain : l'étude de la comparaison sociale et de son impact sur les relations politiques Dans le monde d'aujourd'hui, la technologie a tellement évolué que nous ne pouvons imaginer notre vie sans elle. Des smartphones aux maisons intelligentes, la technologie a rendu les choses plus faciles et plus accessibles. Mais cette évolution a également conduit à des inégalités économiques à un niveau record aux États-Unis, ce qui est paradoxal. Megan Condon et Amber Wichowski ont découvert que ce paradoxe peut être résolu en se concentrant sur la comparaison sociale. Dans leur livre The Economic Other, ils explorent la façon dont des courants puissants se disputent pour attirer l'attention vers les riches ou les pauvres, captivant la politique derrière eux. Grâce à une combinaison d'expériences, de sondages et de descriptions de personnes réelles, les auteurs montrent que les Américains moins riches deviennent plus précis sur leur propre statut en se comparant aux riches. Cette comparaison les amène aussi à vouloir plus du gouvernement. Cependant, la société est organisée d'une manière qui empêche la comparaison ascendante, rendant difficile pour les individus de se comparer aux riches. En conséquence, beaucoup perdent confiance dans leur capacité à apporter des changements.

Desde teléfonos inteligentes hasta hogares inteligentes, la tecnología ha hecho las cosas más fáciles y accesibles. n embargo, esta evolución también ha llevado a que la desigualdad económica se sitúe en niveles récord en Estados Unidos, una situación paradójica. Megan Condon y Amber Wichowski descubrieron que esta paradoja se puede resolver centrándose en la comparación social. En su libro «The Economic Other» exploran cómo las poderosas corrientes compiten para elevar o bajar la atención a los ricos o pobres, cautivando a la política. A través de una combinación de experimentos, encuestas y descripciones de personas reales, los autores muestran que los estadounidenses menos acomodados se vuelven más precisos con respecto a su propio estatus, comparándose con los ricos. Esta comparación también les hace querer más del Gobierno. n embargo, la sociedad está dispuesta de tal manera que impide una comparación ascendente, dificultando a los individuos compararse con los ricos. Como resultado, muchos pierden la confianza en sus poderes para llevar a cabo el cambio.
Altra disuguaglianza economica nell'immaginario politico americano: ricerca sul confronto sociale e il suo impatto sulle relazioni politiche Nel mondo moderno la tecnologia è così evoluta che non possiamo immaginare la nostra vita senza di essa. Dagli smartphone alle case intelligenti, la tecnologia ha reso tutto più facile e accessibile. Ma questa evoluzione ha anche portato le disuguaglianze economiche a livelli record negli Stati Uniti, una situazione paradossale. Megan Condon e Amber Wichowski hanno scoperto che questo paradosso può essere risolto concentrandosi sul confronto sociale. Nel loro libro «The Economic Other», indagano su come potenti correnti competono per portare l'attenzione su o giù verso i ricchi o i poveri, appassionando la politica. Attraverso una combinazione di esperimenti, sondaggi e descrizioni di persone reali, gli autori dimostrano che gli americani meno abbienti diventano più precisi sul proprio status, confrontandosi con i ricchi. Questo confronto li spinge anche a volere di più dal governo. Ma la società è costruita in un modo che impedisce il confronto in ascesa, rendendo difficile per gli individui confrontarsi con i ricchi. Di conseguenza, molti perdono fiducia nel loro potere di realizzare il cambiamento.
Andere ökonomische Ungleichheiten in der amerikanischen politischen Vorstellungskraft: Eine Studie über den sozialen Vergleich und seine Auswirkungen auf die politischen Beziehungen In der heutigen Welt hat sich die Technologie so weit entwickelt, dass wir uns unser ben ohne sie nicht vorstellen können. Vom Smartphone bis zum Smart Home hat die Technologie alles einfacher und zugänglicher gemacht. Diese Entwicklung hat jedoch auch dazu geführt, dass die wirtschaftliche Ungleichheit in den Vereinigten Staaten auf einem Rekordhoch ist, was eine paradoxe tuation ist. Megan Condon und Amber Wichowski haben herausgefunden, dass dieses Paradoxon gelöst werden kann, indem man sich auf den sozialen Vergleich konzentriert. In ihrem Buch „The Economic Other“ untersuchen sie, wie mächtige Strömungen konkurrieren, um die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Reichen oder Armen zu lenken und die Politik mitzureißen. Durch eine Kombination von Experimenten, Umfragen und Beschreibungen realer Menschen zeigen die Autoren, dass weniger wohlhabende Amerikaner über ihren eigenen Status genauer werden und sich mit den Reichen vergleichen. Dieser Vergleich macht ihnen auch Lust auf mehr von der Regierung. Die Gesellschaft ist jedoch so organisiert, dass sie einen aufsteigenden Vergleich verhindert und es den Individuen erschwert, sich mit den Reichen zu vergleichen. Dadurch verlieren viele das Vertrauen in ihre Fähigkeit, Veränderungen herbeizuführen.

Amerikan yasi Tahayyülündeki Diğer Ekonomik Eşitsizlikler: Sosyal Karşılaştırma ve yasi İlişkiler Üzerindeki Etkisi Üzerine Bir Çalışma Günümüz dünyasında teknoloji o kadar gelişti ki, hayatımızı onsuz hayal edemiyoruz. Akıllı telefonlardan akıllı evlere, teknoloji daha kolay ve daha uygun fiyatlı hale getirdi. Bununla birlikte, bu evrim aynı zamanda ekonomik eşitsizliğin ABD'de paradoksal bir durum olan tüm zamanların en yüksek seviyesinde olmasına neden olmuştur. Megan Condon ve Amber Wichowski, bu paradoksun sosyal karşılaştırmaya odaklanarak çözülebileceğini keşfetti. "The Economic Other" (Ekonomik Öteki) adlı kitaplarında, güçlü akımların dikkatleri zengin ya da yoksullara çekmek için nasıl rekabet ettiğini ve siyaseti de beraberinde sürüklediğini araştırıyorlar. Gerçek insanların deneyleri, anketleri ve açıklamalarının bir araya gelmesiyle, yazarlar daha az varlıklı Amerikalıların kendilerini zenginlerle karşılaştırarak kendi durumları hakkında daha doğru olduklarını göstermektedir. Bu karşılaştırma aynı zamanda hükümetten daha fazlasını istemelerine neden oluyor. Bununla birlikte, toplum, bireylerin kendilerini zenginlerle karşılaştırmasını zorlaştıracak şekilde yukarı doğru karşılaştırmayı engelleyecek şekilde yapılandırılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, birçoğu değişimi etkileme yeteneklerine olan güvenini kaybeder.
أوجه عدم المساواة الاقتصادية الأخرى في الخيال السياسي الأمريكي: دراسة المقارنة الاجتماعية وتأثيرها على تكنولوجيا العلاقات السياسية تطورت كثيرًا في عالم اليوم لدرجة أننا لا نستطيع تخيل حياتنا بدونها. من الهواتف الذكية إلى المنازل الذكية، جعلت التكنولوجيا الأمر أسهل وبأسعار معقولة. ومع ذلك، فقد تسبب هذا التطور أيضًا في أن يكون عدم المساواة الاقتصادية في أعلى مستوياته على الإطلاق في الولايات المتحدة، وهو وضع متناقض. اكتشفت ميغان كوندون وأمبر ويتشوفسكي أنه يمكن حل هذه المفارقة من خلال التركيز على المقارنة الاجتماعية. في كتابهم «The Economic Other»، يستكشفون كيف تتنافس التيارات القوية لجذب الانتباه صعودًا أو نزولاً إلى الأغنياء أو الفقراء، مما يؤدي إلى جر السياسة معهم. من خلال مجموعة من التجارب والاستطلاعات وأوصاف الأشخاص الحقيقيين، أظهر المؤلفون أن الأمريكيين الأقل ثراءً يصبحون أكثر دقة بشأن وضعهم من خلال مقارنة أنفسهم بالأثرياء. هذه المقارنة تجعلهم يريدون المزيد من الحكومة. ومع ذلك، فإن المجتمع منظم بطريقة تمنع المقارنة التصاعدية، مما يجعل من الصعب على الأفراد مقارنة أنفسهم بالأثرياء. نتيجة لذلك، يفقد الكثيرون الثقة في قدرتهم على إحداث التغيير.
