“…Blacks in the second highest (OR = 0.88) and highest (OR = 0.83) income categories are more likely to declare the equality of opportunity in America, whereas those with at least some college (OR = 1.28), a college degree (OR = 1.31), and/or a graduate degree (OR = 1.32) are less likely to do so. A number of studies have shown that higher levels of income and educational attainment can differentially impact beliefs about inequality: The former tends to wield a conservatizing influence, whereas the latter can sometimes wield a liberalizing influence (Huber & Form, 1973;Hunt, 1996Hunt, , 2004Robinson, 2009;Shelton & Emerson, 2010;Smith, 1985;Wilson, 1996). Such intragroup conflicts are a product of minority group members' increased awareness of and participation in the American mainstream (Alba & Nee, 2003;Gordon, 1964;Portes & Rumbaut, 2001;Shelton, 2008;Steinberg, 1981).…”
