This research examined the relationship between endorsing system - justifying beliefs and psychological well - being among individuals fromethnic groups that vary in social status. Systemjustifying beliefs are beliefs that imply that status in society is fair, deserved, and merited; examples of system - justifying beliefs in the United States include the beliefs that hard work pays off and that anyone can get ahead regardless of their group membership. We found that endorsing system - justifying beliefs was negatively related to psychological well -b eing among members of lowstatus groups who were highly identified with their group but positively related to well - being among members of low - status groups who were not highly identified with their ethnic group. In addition, we found that endorsing system - justifying beliefs was positively related to well - being among members of high - status groups, especially among members of high - status groups who were highly identified with the group.
