Juan R. Loaiza<p>X-phi hypothesis: Social privilege predicts confidence in one's conceptual intuitions.</p><p>Does anyone know any <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/xphi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xphi</span></a> or <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> study along these lines?</p><p>The idea is that, at least in my experience, people from privileged backgrounds have no problem in saying "This is intuitive to me, therefore it is certainly intuitive in general", where as people from less privileged backgrounds are much less prone to argue in such ways and doubt their own intuitions much more. It makes sense that feeling like you are part of the standard way of thinking give you the confidence to think in that direction.</p>
