Abstract
Using data from a survey of a quota sample of the Italian population (N = 1,504), we analysed the relation between perception of relative deprivation and populism. Perceived relative deprivation showed a positive association with populist orientation and the vote both for a right-wing populist party and for a non-positional populist party. Strengths, limitations and future research directions are discussed
