429. The Psychology of Social Status and Class | Rob Henderson
The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast
Exploring Populism, Status, and Leadership Preferences
A study on populism and status revealed an inverse correlation between the desire for social status and interest in populism. Those supporting populism prefer a strong leader over attaining high status themselves, while those opposing populism desire status and are against the idea of a strong leader. People leaning towards populism often feel their values are not reflected in society and seek a leader who promises to fix issues. On the other hand, those in affluent communities with order and prosperity prefer influential positions and are against a strong leader, viewing them as a threat to their power. Populist supporters can be categorized into two groups: those concerned about disorder and those preferring a centralized authority. Similarly, the wealthy are divided between those willing to take political responsibility and those opposing populism due to fear of competition for power.
