Abstract
Previous research has documented positive associations between social class and subjective well-being (SWB). The present study examined the role of essentialist beliefs about happiness (EBH) in moderating this relationship through three studies. The results showed that weak endorsement of EBH mitigated class-based disparities in SWB.
