You can’t simply declare a zero-sum situation to not be, and then expect your study participants to believe you.
That’s what this study did:
> In studies 1 to 5, participants read various equality-enhancing policies that would provide additional resources (e.g., salary and jobs) to a disadvantaged group (e.g., Latino Americans, people with a disability, women, and ex-felons) without changing the resources provided to the advantaged ingroup (e.g., white Americans, people without a disability, men, and non-felons).
Where, exactly, does the money to pay for their additional salary and jobs come from?
