A comparative study conducted in australia and the united states exmained people's responses to protagonists who were either born rich or poor and who ended up either rich or poor as adults. Results reveal same cross - cultural similarities and some differences. Specifically, people in both countries perceive initially poor and susequently rich individuals as more competent and liekable than intially rich and subsequently poor individuals, but these differences were greater in the american context than in the australian context. In addition, being exposed to someone who was born rich (vs. born poor) led americans to perceive the economic system as more fair and legitimate, but it led australians to perceive the system as less fair and legitimate.
