摘要

贪婪现象在社会中急剧增加。然而,尽管贪婪行为具有普遍性,但有关贪婪原因的实证研究却很少。在这种情况下,我们提出,感知到的经济不平等可能是影响贪婪的一个重要因素。研究1基于大规模社会调查(CFPS 2018,N = 14,317)的数据,提供了感知到的经济不平等与贪婪之间存在正相关关系的主要证据。研究 2A(样本数=200)和研究 2B(样本数=399)采用成熟的调查问卷,揭示了感知到的经济不平等与贪婪之间的正向预测关系,而相对贫困则起到了中介作用。研究 3A(200 人)和研究 3B(200 人)对感知到的经济不平等进行了操作,以提供其对贪婪影响的因果证据,并复制了相对剥夺的中介效应。最后,研究 4(N = 372)采用阻断操纵设计,表明当相对剥夺受到抑制时,感知到的经济不平等对贪婪的影响会显著降低。总之,这六项研究的结果一致表明,感知到的经济不平等会对贪婪产生积极影响,而这种影响是由相对剥夺所中介的。

Why do people always want more? Perceived economic inequality leads people to be greedy by enhancing relative deprivation

Greedy phenomena have dramatically increased in societies. However, despite the universality of greedy behaviour, empirical research on the causes of greed is scarce. In this context, we propose that perceived economic inequality may be an important factor influencing greed. Study 1 provided primary evidence of a positive relationship between perceived economic inequality and greed, based on data from a large-scale social survey (CFPS 2018, N = 14,317). Employing well-established questionnaires, Study 2A (N = 200) and Study 2B (N = 399) revealed that perceived economic inequality positively predicts greed, with relative deprivation playing a mediating role. Study 3A (N = 200) and Study 3B (N = 200) manipulated perceived economic inequality to provide causal evidence of its effects on greed and to replicate the mediating effect of relative deprivation. Finally, Study 4 (N = 372), using a blockage manipulation design, showed that the effect of perceived economic inequality on greed significantly decreases when relative deprivation is suppressed. In summary, the results of these six studies consistently suggest that perceived economic inequality positively affects greed and that this effect is mediated by relative deprivation.
