摘要

边缘化群体可能会世世代代面临系统性歧视,直到社会的具体进步最终确保其成员得到更公平的待遇。尽管公平性的进步可能会使这些群体在现在和将来受益,但它们并不能改变过去;它们无法消除前几代人已经经历过的歧视。然而,五项研究(N = 1672)表明,使边缘化群体受益的公平进步可能会改变其成员对自己以前所受歧视经历的看法,从而使他们认为这些经历与没有公平进步时相比更加公平。我们在不同的历史边缘化群体(妇女和移民)和文化背景(美国、英国和中国)中发现了这种对过去不公平经历进行修正的证据。重要的是,即使公平的进步对个人本身没有客观影响,只要对其社会群体当前和未来的成员有利,就会出现公平修正主义。然而,公平修正主义并不是针对不属于该群体的边缘化群体的利益而产生的,当个人从局外人的角度评估其他群体过去经历的公平性时,也不会产生公平修正主义。总体而言,这种现象可能是一把双刃剑:它可以通过消除对不利经历的记忆,让那些受到不公平待遇的人感到安心,但也可能使社会中的歧视问题从受害者自身的角度来看显得不那么紧迫。

Fairness revisionism: Reducing discrimination for the future reduces perceived unfairness in the past

Marginalized groups may face systemic discrimination for generations until concrete advancements in society finally ensure fairer treatment for their members. Although fairness advancements may benefit these groups in the present and future, they do not change the past; they cannot undo the discrimination already experienced by previous generations. However, five studies (N = 1672) suggest that fairness advancements that benefit a marginalized group may change how its members perceive their own prior experiences with discrimination, leading them to see these experiences as having been fairer compared to when there are no such advancements. We find evidence of this revisionism of unfair past experiences in different historically marginalized groups (women and immigrants) and cultural contexts (U.S., U.K., and China). Critically, fairness revisionism arises even when fairness advancements have no objective impact on individuals themselves, as long as there are benefits for current and future members of their social group. Fairness revisionism does not arise, however, in response to gains for marginalized groups to which one does not belong, nor when individuals assess fairness in other groups' past experiences from an outsider's perspective. Overall, this phenomenon may be a double-edged sword: it may provide peace of mind for those treated unfairly by assuaging the memory of adverse experiences, but may also make discrimination issues in society seem less pressing based on the perspective of victims themselves.
