社会阶层心理学视角下的公平研究

社会阶层代表了一个人拥有的社会资源和对自己所处社会等级的感知。社会阶层因其概念的独特性、功能的广泛性、影响的深刻性和结论的系统性, 成为了心理学中的前沿热点领域, 目前主要有劳动、健康心理、社会文化、等级和社会认知五种研究视角。基于现有视角对社会阶层与社会公平的关系研究相对较少, 从社会认知视角出发, 围绕着不同阶层感知公平的差异、社会公平对不同阶层的影响作用以及低阶层感知不公平的应对策略三个方面开展了研究。未来研究可以从概念辨析、理论整合、加强应用研究等角度来推进社会阶层心理学的发展。

Social Fairness Researches in Perspectives of Social Class Psychology

Social class represents the amount of social resources one possesses and the social status one perceives. Its unique concept, widespread functions, profound influences on individuals and systematic conclusions as a whole contribute to its cutting-edge status in the discipline of psychology. There are mainly five different approaches in social class psychology, including labor, health psychology, socioculture, social cognitive and rank-based studies. However few studies were conducted on the relationship between social class and social fairness from these approaches. The present study focuses on social cognitive perspective, exploring difference of perceived social fairness between different social classes, influence of social fairness on different social classes and the strategies of individuals from lower class to deal with social unfairness. To advance the development of psychology of social class, future studies can focus on concept identification, theory integration and application.
