Abstract

ABSTRACT Past research has shown that economic inequality shapes individuals’ self-construals. However, it has been unclear which dimensions of self-construal are associated with and affected by economic inequality. A correlational (Study 1: N = 264) and an experimental study (Study 2: N = 532) provided converging evidence linking perceived economic inequality with two forms of independent (vs. interdependent) self-construal: Difference from Others and Self-Reliance. In Study 3 (N = 12,634) societal differences in objective economic inequality across 48 nations predicted feelings of Difference from Others, but not Self-Reliance. Importantly, we found no significant associations of economic inequality with the other six dimensions of self-construal. Our findings help extend previous results linking economic inequality to forms of “social distance.”

解开经济不平等与自我建构之间的联系

摘要过去的研究表明，经济不平等影响着个体的自我建构。然而，目前尚不清楚自我建构的哪些维度与经济不平等有关并受到经济不平等的影响。相关性（研究1:N = 264）和一项实验研究（研究2:N = 532）提供了将感知到的经济不平等与两种形式的独立（与相互依存）自我建构联系起来的趋同证据：与他人的差异和自力更生。研究3（N = 12634）48个国家在客观经济不平等方面的社会差异预测了与他人不同的感觉，但不是自力更生。重要的是，我们没有发现经济不平等与自我建构的其他六个维度有显著关联。我们的发现有助于扩展先前将经济不平等与“社交距离”形式联系起来的结果

期刊介绍： Work on self and identity has a special place in the study of human nature, as self-concerns are arguably at the center of individuals" striving for well-being and for making sense of one"s life. Life goals develop and are influenced by one"s view of what one is like, the way one would ideally like to be (or would like to avoid being), as well as one"s perceptions of what is feasible. Furthermore, conceptions of self and the world affect how one"s progress towards these goals is monitored, evaluated, redirected, re-evaluated, and pursued again. Thus, the “self” as a construct has far-reaching implications for behavior, self-esteem, motivation, experience of emotions and the world more broadly, and hence for interpersonal relationships, society, and culture.
