Why do some people prefer more or less social inclusivity? This session broadly addresses this question, calling for papers that research attitudes toward social inclusion. Broadly defined this is anything that leads to or reduces boundaries and inequalities between groups of people. This could include, but is not limited to: redistribution, prejudice, welfare state policies, out-group bias and taxes. We are interested in the boundaries of psychological attitude formation, social processes and values, and political power struggle from different methodological perspectives. This session seeks to understand attitude formation and its linkages to social inequality and inclusivity, and how this varies across time, societies and subgroups. We are especially encouraging of studies that consider groups and countries from the Global South.
