摘要

社会在变化,但它的变化程度可能很难评估。我们建议人们相信,社会已经并将以线性方式朝着社会正义进步。五组研究(共13项研究)表明,美国参与者一致认为,随着时间的推移,社会在性别平等、种族多样性和环境保护等社会问题上取得了积极的线性进展。这些估计往往与现实不符,在现实中已经以非线性的方式取得了很大进展。我们还排除了一些潜在的替代解释(研究3),并探讨了线性进展信念的潜在相关性(研究4)。我们进一步表明,这些信念降低了在社会问题上取得进一步进展所需的紧迫性和努力(研究5),这可能最终抑制人们的行动意愿。

Beliefs About Linear Social Progress.

Society changes, but the degree to which it has changed can be difficult to evaluate. We propose that people possess beliefs that society has made, and will make, progress in a linear fashion toward social justice. Five sets of studies (13 studies in total) demonstrate that American participants consistently estimated that over time, society has made positive, linear progress toward social issues, such as gender equality, racial diversity, and environmental protection. These estimates were often not aligned with reality, where much progress has been made in a nonlinear fashion. We also ruled out some potential alternative explanations (Study 3) and explored the potential correlates of linear progress beliefs (Study 4). We further showed that these beliefs reduced the perceived urgency and effort needed to make further progress on social issues (Study 5), which may ultimately inhibit people's willingness to act.
