Little is known about the psychological antecedents that affect the perception of and behavioral responses to global inequality. Based on, and extending, Duckitt’s dual-process model, the current research examines psychological antecedents that may explain how people in an industrialized West- ern country respond to global inequality. In two studies (N 1 = 116, N 2 = 117), we analyzed the relationship between the Big Five and justice constructs, right-wing authoritarianism (RWA), social dominance orientation (SDO), and behavioral intentions to reduce global inequality. Two-group path analysis revealed support for the dual-process model in that RWA and SDO were important predictors of behavioral intentions and partially acted as mediators between personality and such intentions. Moreover, justice sensitivity explained variance beyond the “clas- sic” DPM variables. In Study 2, we additionally assessed individuals’ global social identification and perceived injustice of global inequality that explained additional variance. Extending previous work on the dual-process model, these findings demonstrate that individual and group-based processes predict people’s *Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Gerhard Reese, INSIDE Research Unit, University of Luxembourg, Route de Diekirch, L-7201 Walferdange, Luxembourg [e-mail: gerhard.reese@uni.lu].
