A Sociological Study on the Theory of Distributive Fairness Incorporating the Equi-dependence Principle

与传统的社会理论将“平等”或“正义”作为社会的主要规范原则不同，本研究探讨了将“公平”作为社会理论的主要规范原则的理论可能性。平等依赖原则是公平的组成部分之一，这一原则被证明能够解释各种不同的回报结果从实验游戏的研究。此外，本研究还在理论社会学、社会阶层、社会保障制度、经济政策等领域进行了一次理论尝试，试图将公平理念作为评价或规划制度和政策的规范性标准，重新构建理论。

On the contrary to traditional social theories, where "equality" or "justice" has beenupheld as the major normative principle in society, this study explored the theoretical possibility to locate "fairness" as the principal normative principle in social theory. The equi-depenndence principle is one of the constituents of fairness and this principle is shown to be able to explain various payoff outcomes from experimental game researches. Besides, this study developed a theoretical attempt, in the fields such as theoretical sociology, social strata, social security system, and economic policy, to reconstruct theories incorporating the idea of fairness as a normative standard in evaluating or planning institutions and policies.
