大多数不平等理论都关注相对不平等。相比之下，本文提供的证据表明，个人从描述不平等的方式推断出人们应该拥有什么（即绝对标准）。在报告的实验中，当不平等被描述为“小于”而不是“超过”时，参与者向从属行为者给予更多，而当不平等被描述为“超过”而不是“小于”时，参与者从主导行为者那里获得更多，即使不平等的程度是恒定的。中介分析表明，这些差异是由个人对行为者应该具备的东西（即标准）的看法的变化所驱动的。最后，我们讨论了对不平等的动机性认知和再分配政策态度的影响。 (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
Most theories of inequity focus on relative inequity. In contrast, this paper provides evidence that individuals infer what people should have (i.e. an absolute standard) from the way inequity is described. In the reported experiment, participants give more to a subordinate actor when inequity is described in terms of "less than" rather than "more than," and take more from a dominant actor when inequity is described in terms of "more than" rather than "less than," even though the magnitude of inequity is constant. Mediational analyses suggest that these differences are driven by changes in individuals' perceptions of what the actors should have (i.e. the standard). We conclude by discussing the implications for motivated perceptions of inequity and redistributive policy attitudes. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
