摘要尽管有大量证据表明，警察合法性的结果，如遵守，合作和授权的有益成果，学者们还没有同意如何定义和操作的合法性。借鉴马克斯·韦伯的合法性方面，我们开发并测试了一种“传统权威”的衡量标准，反映了一些人合法化警察的可能性，而不是基于对公平的规范性关注。对来自701名美国成年人的全国样本的调查数据进行的解释性因素分析显示，我们的传统权威项目与通常用于捕获信任感、服从义务和道德一致性的项目分开加载。此外，尽管人们所认为的合法性似乎来自对程序和分配公平的看法，无论如何衡量，但传统权威与赋予警察权力的关系更为密切。我们讨论了这些发现的理论和实践意义，并敦促研究人员复制和扩展我们的工作。
Abstract Despite considerable evidence that police legitimacy results in beneficial outcomes like compliance, cooperation, and empowerment, scholars have yet to agree on how to define and operationalize legitimacy. Drawing on Max Weber’s facets of legitimacy, we developed and tested a measure of “traditional authority,” reflecting the possibility that some people legitimate the police more so based on tradition than normative concerns regarding fairness. Confirmatory factor analysis of survey data from a national sample of 701 US adults revealed that our traditional authority items loaded separately from items commonly used to capture feelings of trust, obligation to obey, and moral alignment. Furthermore, although perceived legitimacy appears to flow from perceptions of procedural and distributive fairness regardless of how it is measured, traditional authority is more strongly associated with empowerment of the police. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings and urge researchers to replicate and extend our work.
