Here's the actual study.

It's also the ONLY study to try to test this, so take it with a rather large heap of salt. Here's the section on the errors the study has.
"Notwithstanding the empirical support for our theoretical arguments, our studies are not without their limitations. In our first three studies, we measured perceived victimhood with a single item. Participants were first provided with the definition of a victim taken from the Oxford English Dictionary and then asked to indicate the extent to which the person they read and/or wrote about would fit this definition. Although we preferred this approach for its brevity and comprehensibility across participants, using single-item measures may result in lower reliability because of a higher risk of random error (Churchill, 1979) and questionable construct validity (Ruekert & Churchill, 1984). Although we attempted to mitigate these concerns by providing participants with a concrete definition of the construct immediately before measuring it, this is still a limitation that should be noted, particularly since victimhood perceptions (as they pertain to one’s self or others) are likely to be inherently subjective and multifaceted."
