?:abstract
  • The relationship between education and social welfare attitudes is understudied and potentially complex. Some of the mixed findings to date could be explained by “the underdog principle,” which is the notion that the most vulnerable individuals in society—e.g., women, ethnic minorities, low-income individuals—are more likely to favor social welfare, given its potential benefits to them (Robinson & Bell, 1978). Employing data from the International Social Survey Programme 2009, we used hierarchical linear models to explore whether and to what extent education makes a difference in social welfare attitudes among underdogs and topdogs. The results suggest that after controlling for age and socioeconomic status, educational attainment among topdogs tends to be associated—if at all—with a less favorable attitude towards social welfare. For underdogs the association was smaller or non-existent. This reinforces the importance of attending to socioeconomic diversity when examining the effects of education, and supports a concern expressed by a number of scholars (e.g., Biesta, 2009; Labaree, 2014; Nussbaum, 2010; Siegel, 2004) that important non-economic aims of education may be insufficiently articulated and advanced in societies today.
