abstract = {This paper uses the data gained from an income categorization
experiment for five shapes of income distributions to investigate background
context effects, relative deprivation, range-frequency theory to explain back-
ground context effects, individual income satisfaction versus aggregate well-
being, and the dual patterns of income categorization and limen setting. It
is shown that background context effects exist and are reflected in relative
deprivation. Not all precepts of range-frequency theory can be evidenced.
Moreover, we demonstrate a welfare paradox which concerns a contradiction
between individual income satisfaction and aggregate well-being. Finally,
income categorization and limen setting harbor no response-mode effects,
but exhibit conformity.},
