对不平等的研究在很大程度上被定义为研究其可测量的范围，程度和后果。然而，同样重要的是，要了解在具体环境中造成和再现不平等现象的互动过程。对理解这些过程有影响的定性研究尚未得到巩固，因此其理论价值仍未实现。在这篇文章中，我们从文献中归纳出一个敏感的理论，通过它的一般过程不平等是再现。我们确定的主要过程是他者化、从属适应、边界维持和情绪管理。我们认为，根据这些一般过程来设想不平等的再生产，可以解决有关本地行动和外地不平等之间的联系以及不平等本身的性质的理论问题。
The study of inequality has been largely defined as the study of its measurable extent, degree, and consequences. It is no less important, however, to understand the interactive processes through which inequalities are created and reproduced in concrete settings. The qualitative research that bears on understanding these processes has not yet been consolidated, and thus its theoretical value remains unrealized. In this article we inductively derive from the literature a sensitizing theory of the generic processes through which inequality is reproduced. The major processes that we identify are othering, subordinate adaptation, boundary maintenance, and emotion management. We argue that conceiving the reproduction of inequality in terms of these generic processes can resolve theoretical problems concerning the connection between local action and extralocal inequalities, and concerning the nature of inequality itself.
