The Influence Of Social Status Difference And Moral Quality Of Parties On Third Party’s Fair Maintenance Behavior

Fairness is an important guidelines for maintaining social stability.When facing unfair results,third parties that are not related to their own interests are also willing to maintain fair guidelines.The fair maintenance of third parties is to actively benefit his behavior,mainly including third-party punishment and third-party compensation.The ability and warm dimension of social cognition account for 82%of daily behavior cognition,and the warm dimension stimulates people’s positive emotions and positive behaviors.Social and economic status and moral quality are associated with warm dimensions,which may affect the fair maintenance behavior of third parties.Some studies have confirmed that the socio-economic status of the assignor will affect the third punishment,but ignores the differences between the recipient and its socio-economic differences;and the assignor’s behavior of unfair distribution itself cannot be considered as a high moral quality behavior,so only acceptance is accepted.The moral quality of the person is operated.Based on this,this study adopts the experimental paradigm of dictator game to conduct a series of experiments to systematically explore the impact of socio-economic status and moral quality on third-party fairness maintenance behavior.Experiment 1:By manipulating the socio-economic differences between the parties（the allocator and the recipient）（the social economy of the allocator is high&the social economy of the recipient is low;the social economy of the allocator is low&the social economy of the recipient is high）,we explore the impact of the socio-economic differences between the parties on the fair maintenance behavior of third parties.Experiment 2:By manipulating the moral qualities of the recipient（helpful;greedy and cunning）to explore the impact of moral qualities on third-party fairness maintenance behavior.Experiment 3:Based on Experiment 1 and Experiment 2,explore the impact of socioeconomic differences and moral qualities of the parties on third-party fairness maintenance behavior.The results of experiment 1 showed that:（1）the punishment rate of high distributor and low receiver was significantly higher than that of low distributor and high receiver;The compensation rate for high distributor and low receiver is significantly lower than the condition for low distributor and high receiver.（2）The third party intervention intensity（punishment intensity and compensation intensity）under the condition of high distributor and low receiver will be higher than that under the condition of low distributor and high receiver;And as the level of inequality increases,the intensity of third intervention also increases.The results of experiment 2show that:（1）when the recipient’s moral quality is high,the compensation rate of the third party to the recipient is significantly higher than that of the recipient with low moral quality;In the face of low quality recipients,third parties punish distributors more and compensate recipients less.（2）As the degree of unfairness increases,the intensity of third-party intervention continues to rise(Low unfairness _{Intervention intensity}<high unfairness _{Intervention intensity}).The results of experiment 3 show that:（1）there is an interaction between the socioeconomic status differences of the parties and the moral quality of the recipient on the intensity of intervention.Regardless of the socio-economic status differences of the parties,as long as the recipient’s moral quality is high,the intensity of third-party compensation to the recipient and the intensity of punishment to the distributor are higher than when the recipient’s moral quality is low.
