Turning to our primary dependent variable, namely support for redistribution policies aimed at redressing wealth and income inequalities, our hypothesis was that participants' demand for redistribution through progressive taxation would be greater if they were in a collective mind-set and felt relatively economically disadvantaged. The first finding in line with this prediction comes from the ANOVAs on progressivity of taxation. In both studies results revealed a significant interaction between manipulated socio-economic status and mind-set, showing that a personal vs. collective mind-set was irrelevant for participants led to feel relatively well-off. Conversely, mind-set played an important role for those led to feel economically disadvantaged: only participants in the low socio-economic status condition indeed proposed higher progressive taxation when in a collective than in a personal mind-set (see also pooled **data** analysis). This finding clearly demonstrates that request for redistribution is highest when people feel poor and reason collectively about future.
