The relationships between subjective status and perceived legitimacy are important for understanding the extent to which people with low status are complicit in their oppression. We use novel data from 66 samples and 30 countries ( = 12,788) and find that people with higher status see the social system as more legitimate than those with lower status, but there is variation across people and countries. The association between subjective status and perceived legitimacy was never negative at any levels of eight moderator variables, although the positive association was sometimes reduced.

- An erratum was issued for an article discussing collective action, correcting multiple instances of a misspelled name.
- The research focuses on how members of advantaged groups respond to collective actions taken by low-status groups, highlighting that their support varies based on perceptions of social image and potential outcomes.
- The study found that members of high-status groups are more likely to support normative actions that improve the disadvantaged group's standing, especially when concerned about preserving their own social image rather than solely addressing inequality.
Three experiments investigated whether the selection of a representative in intergroup interdependence settings can reflect group members' strategic behaviour. We tested the impact of an individual's intragroup status (normative vs. pro-out-group deviant, Experiments 1-3) and of voting procedure (Experiments 2 and 3) on the choice of an in-group representative.
