Why is the belief in meritocracy so pervasive? New article argues that the dose–response schema for causes and effects may encourage us to believe that what we get out of life depends on what we put in: "More effort = more success!" doi.org/10.1016/j.ti... #SocialPsyc #CogPsyc #AcademicSky 🧪

People worldwide tend to believe that their societies are more meritocratic than they actually are. We propose the belief in meritocracy is widespread because it is rooted in simple, seemingly obvious causal–explanatory intuitions. Our proposal suggests solutions for debunking the myth of meritocracy and increasing support for equity-oriented policies.
