保护性价值观的结构和特征研究

保护性价值观是一种拒绝与其他任何价值相互交易,尤其拒绝与经济价值进行交易的观念。本文通过问卷调查和分析,将中国文化背景下的保护性价值观分为“有关自然环境和传统文化价值的保护性价值观”和“有关人伦人权和人际情感的保护性价值观”,并发现前者比后者更受重视和更有普遍性。研究还验证了保护性价值观具有的数量不敏感性、当事人相关性、道德责任感、拒绝、愤怒情绪、故作姿态这六个特征,并初步分析了两类保护性价值观在各特征上的差异。

The Classification and Properties of Protected Values

Protected values are values that resist trade-offs with other values,particularly economic values.This study examined the classification and properties of protected values in the Chinese culture.Based on the investigation,protected values in the Chinese culture were classified into two groups: environment-related values and human-related values.Environment-related values were found to be more robust than human-related values.In addition,the study has confirmed that protected values in the Chinese culture possessed all the six hypothesized properties: insensitivity to quantity of the violation,agent relativity of concern,denial of the need for trade-offs,moral obligation to follow the values,anger at their violation,and posturing.Some property differences were also found between the two kinds of protected values.
