摘要

我们研究了资源分配者的平等偏好,发现一个无处不在的情境因素——仅仅是接受者的数量(N)——决定了这些资源分配者在他们的平等关注和其他考虑之间做出的权衡。具体来说,我们的研究为n -平等效应提供了证据:随着接受者数量的增加,第三方分配者越来越不关心不平等。一项试点研究说明了大学教师工资的n -相等效应,表明教师工资的差异随着院系规模的增加而增加。研究1提供的实验证据表明,当接受者数量增加时,面对平等与效率和公平分配原则之间权衡的分配者对平等的重视程度降低,补充实验用不同的平等-效率权衡复制了这一效应。研究2揭示了分配者选择中的n -平等效应,这需要在低方差和高方差分布之间进行平等-公平权衡。研究3a-c暗示了社会比较对n -平等效应的贡献,将分配者的偏好与他们对接受者之间社会比较的关注联系起来(研究3a和3c),并表明这种关注介导了n -平等效应(研究3b)。我们总结了对不平等研究的启示。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA,版权所有)。

N-equality: Inequality increases with the number of allocation recipients.
We examine the equality preferences of resource allocators, finding that a ubiquitous situational factor-the mere number of recipients (N)-shapes the trade-offs these allocators make between their equality concerns and other considerations. Specifically, our studies offer evidence for an N-Equality effect: Third-party allocators become less concerned about inequality as the number of recipients increases. A pilot study illustrates the N-Equality effect with university faculty salaries, showing that the variance in faculty salaries increases with department size. Study 1 offers experimental evidence that allocators facing a trade-off between equality and the distributive principles of efficiency and equity give less weight to equality as the number of recipients increases, and supplemental experiments replicate the effect with different equality-efficiency trade-offs. Study 2 reveals the N-Equality effect in allocators' choice that requires an equality-equity trade-off between low variance and high variance distributions. Studies 3a-c implicate the contribution of social comparison to the N-Equality effect, linking allocators' preferences to their concerns over social comparison among recipients (Studies 3a and 3c) and showing this concern mediates the N-Equality effect (Study 3b). We conclude with implications for inequality research. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
