The Influence Of Social Class And Attribution Style On Perception Of Distributive Justice

The issue of distributive justice is a hot topic that has attracted people's attention.This issue has not faded out of people's vision because of the development of society.Since the reform and opening up,China's economy is developing rapidly,at the same time,the income gap between different social stratum groups has become larger and larger,the Gini coefficient has exceeded the international warning line,and people's perception of distributive injustice has begun to appear.Social injustice may lead to serious imbalances in social mentality,increase people's awareness of social conflicts,lead to mass incidents,and may harm social stability.Therefore,it is necessary to study the perception of social justice among different social classes,especially the individual's perception of distributive justice is particularly necessary during the social transition period.Based on the data of CGSS 2010,this paper uses the income perception of distributive justice as a dependent variable,and combines structural determinism and attribution theory to verify the influence of the social class variables and attribution variables on distributive justice,and explore the mediating role of attribution style in the process of social class affecting the distributive justice.At the same time,the paper also examines whether the control variables such as age,gender,urban and rural,marital status,political status,regional factors,and era factors have influence on the perception of distributive justice.The research methods in this paper used mainly include descriptive analysis,chi-square test and ordinal logistic regression analysis,and various research methods are used to test the research hypothesis.The study found that:(1)different social class variables have different effects on the perception of distributive justice.The income level has a significant positive effect on the perception of distributive justice.The higher the income of residents,the stronger the perception of distributive justice.The degree of education has a significant negative effect on the perception of distributive justice.The higher the degree of education,the weaker the perception of distributive justice.The occupational status has a significant positive effect on the perception of distributive justice.The higher the occupational status of residents,the stronger the perception of distributive justice;the comprehensive objective social class variables have no significant influence on the perception of distributive justice.The subjective social class has a significant positive effect on the perception of distributive justice.The higher the subjective social class,the stronger the perception of distributive justice in group.The upward movement of the subjective social class and the unchanging group have a stronger perception of distr:ibutive justice than the group with the downward movement of the subjective social class.(2)Different attribution variables have different effects on the perception of distributive justice.The more the achievement and social inequality are attributed to the internal cause,the stronger the perception of distributive justice;the more the achievement and social inequality are attributed to the external cause,the weaker perception of distributive justice.(3)In the process of the influence of subjective social class on the perception of distributive justice,the attribution of personal achievement and the attribution of social inequality played a partial intermediary role.Based on the above research,it is found that social class variables and attribution variables play an important role in affecting residents' perception of distributive justice,and call on the state to adopt effective policies to improve people's perception of distributive justice.We can optimize institutional structure,promote the fair distribution of social resources among different classes,improve the social security system and improve the social psychological service system to promote social harmony and stability.
