When all is unequal, the rich get dominant: Inequality leads to expectations of dominant leadership among those high in SES.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
People of higher SES have been found to behave more dominantly than people of lower SES. We tested the hypothesis that this difference is exacerbated under conditions of high economic inequality, when the income/wealth difference between those of low and high SES becomes greater. Across four studies (N = 2,739), using both experiments that manipulate perceived inequality (Studies 1a, 1b, and 3) and a correlational study that measures perceived inequality (Study 2), we find evidence that people expect others and themselves to become more dominant if they are of high as opposed to low SES, and this difference is most extreme when economic inequality is perceived to be high.
