Abstract

Introduction: Income inequality is often tolerated and justified, but when it brings about disparities in other domains of life (e.g., health or education), it may be seen with different eyes. In this research, we aimed to explore concerns regarding economic inequality in health, education, and income, and its relationship to supporting collective actions to reduce inequality. Method: We used survey data (N = 20,204, 18 countries) from the Latinobarometer 2020. We conducted descriptive analyses, latent class analyses, and analyses of multilevel linear regression to test our hypothesis. Results: We found that people were more concerned about health access and education opportunities than income inequality. We also identified two classes of people: one class concerned about education and health and the other unconcerned about inequality in any domain. In addition, results showed that all concerns and class membership predicted greater support of collective actions to reduce inequality. Conclusions: These preliminary findings suggest that concerns about education and health disparities may serve to increase awareness of overall inequality and mobilise the public.

对健康、教育和收入不平等的担忧共同预示着集体行动

引言:收入不平等通常是被容忍和合理的，但是当它在生活的其他领域(例如，健康或教育)带来不平等时，它可能会以不同的眼光看待。在本研究中，我们旨在探讨对健康、教育和收入方面的经济不平等的关注，以及它与支持减少不平等的集体行动的关系。方法:使用Latinobarometer 2020的调查数据(N = 20,204, 18个国家)。我们进行了描述性分析、潜在类分析和多水平线性回归分析来检验我们的假设。结果:与收入不平等相比，人们更关心健康机会和教育机会。我们还确定了两类人:一类关心教育和健康，另一类不关心任何领域的不平等。此外，结果显示，所有的关注和阶级成员预测更大的支持集体行动，以减少不平等。结论:这些初步发现表明，对教育和健康差距的关注可能有助于提高对整体不平等的认识，并动员公众。

期刊介绍： Revista latinoamericana de Psicología (RLP) is a four month publication from Konrad Lorenz Fundación Universitaria. The RLP evaluates works that belong to one of the following categories: original papers (with empiric and new information) of many psychology fields (regardless of the methodology used) or qualitative/quantitative systematic reviews. Eventually it will be interested on works’ revision related to the development psychology tools or softwares, original methodology papers and researches which evaluate psychology from scientometry. The RLP is not interested in publishing non-systematic reviews or states of the art, case studies, protocols studies, hypothesis or papers proposals, letters, commentaries or essays, opinions articles, politics documents nor other sort of secondary literature. Traditionally, there have been monographics, books’ reviews and “others” published in “Mundo de la Psicología”, nevertheless these modalities will not be considered.
