In it, he delineated how wealth should be redistributed from the hands of the few to the many. Given SPSSI's 2018 conference location in Pittsburgh, and a similar concentration of wealth among a small group of White men today, it is an opportune time to consider the legacy of one of Pittsburgh's most famous citizens. Specifically, the comparison (and contrast) between Carnegie and President Trump provides an interesting backdrop for examining our present historical moment. Specifically, over the last 20 years, there has been renewed interest in studying social class among psychological researchers. Continuing with the conference theme of "building bridges," this article will review the status of our knowledge about social class in order to provide a science and policy agenda for addressing poverty, wealth, and inequality in our time. "Make America Great Again"-Donald Trump, 2016 "The 'good old times' were not good old times"-Andrew Carnegie, 1889

Speculative scenarios describing each of these futures were randomly assigned to equal numbers of Protestant and Catholic undergraduates in Northern Ireland, and their expectations regarding material and civic improvement for their ingroup and peace and reconciliation between the groups were assessed. Two dimensions of religious identity, measured by the Identity and Public subscales of Collective Self-Esteem Scale (CSES), moderated the differences between groups, but only for their expectations of peace and reconciliation. Stronger expectations of improvement for the ingroup were related to higher scores on the Public subscale, regardless of religion or the political future presented. Thus, group identity had a complex, context-dependent relationship to intergroup conflict.

Research examining televised images and print media are reviewed. An analysis of media framing as well as classist, racist, and sexist imagery is provided. Additionally, to assess media depictions of the poor in the wake of welfare reform, 412 newspaper articles about poverty and welfare published during a 3-month period in 1999 were content analyzed. Although most articles were neutral in tone and portrayed the difficulties facing welfare recipients and the poor sympathetically, they did little to contextualize poverty or illuminate its causes. These findings are discussed in terms of their context and political function.
