摘要

累进税是财富再分配和减少经济不平等的有效方式,因此,通过有效的沟通策略促进累进税是一个关键目标。利用解释水平理论,我们在五项研究中测试了对累进税的态度是否会因关注暂时距离较远(相对较近)的通用(相对较具体)税收的高(相对较低)解释沟通而改善。在两个实验中(研究1和研究2,N总计= 522),我们对税收提案的特异性和时间距离进行正交操作,以解开两个解释来源的纠缠。一般税收建议比具体税收建议获得更多的共识,但没有发现时间距离的影响。在研究3 (N = 373)和研究4 (N = 353)中,通用税收建议的影响是由它们增强的感知重要性介导的。此外,我们发现税收的具体描述也有促进支持的功能,但只有当包含多个(相对于单一)税收时。研究5 (N = 499,预注册)为感知重要性的核心作用提供了令人信服的结果,这被证明是一个一致的中介,抵抗反论证。总之,我们的研究表明,当设想对税制进行彻底改革时,累进税是得到支持的:单一的累进税是不够的。讨论了税务沟通的实际意义。

Loving Taxation, Hating Single Taxes: Disentangling Temporal Distance and Abstraction in the Communication of Tax Proposals

Loving Taxation, Hating Single Taxes: Disentangling Temporal Distance and Abstraction in the Communication of Tax Proposals

Progressive taxation is an effective way of redistributing wealth and reducing economic inequality, as such its promotion through efficient communication strategies is a key goal. Drawing on construal level theory, we test in five studies whether attitudes towards progressive taxation are improved by high (vs. low) construal communication focusing on generic (vs. specific) taxes that are temporally distant (vs. close). In two experiments (Studies 1 and 2, N​​total = 522), we orthogonally manipulated the specificity and temporal distance of a tax proposal to disentangle the two sources of construal. Generic tax proposals obtained more consensus than specific ones, while no effect of the temporal distance was found. In Studies 3 (N = 373) and 4 (N = 353), the effect of generic tax proposals was mediated by their enhanced perceived importance. Moreover, we found that specific descriptions of taxes were also functional in promoting support, but only when containing multiple (vs. single) taxes. Study 5 (N = 499, pre-registered) provides compelling results for the central role of perceived importance, which proved as a consistent mediator, resistant to counter-argumentation. Together, our studies suggest that progressive taxation is supported when a radical change in the system is envisioned: A single progressive tax is not enough. Practical implications for tax communication are discussed.
