摘 要: 本文立足于社会规范视角,以中国综合社会调查(CGSS)数据为基础,考察与分析区域层次的收入不平等对居民幸福感的影响及其机制。结果显示,当前中国的收入不平等会损害个人对幸福的积极体验。与高收入群体相比,低收入群体更容易产生这种负向感知。相对剥夺和关系信任构成的社会心理过程是影响收入不平等与个人幸福感关系的重要机制,资源供给机制未获调查数据的支持。在此基础上,本文认为,国民幸福感的高低并非取决于收入不平等本身,而是分配体系构建的合理性。所以,建立具有公平正义价值导向的收入分配体系是提升中国居民幸福感的发展方向。 Research on the relationship between income inequality and happiness can be grouped into two major analytic perspectives., social comparison and social norm. The former, by focusing income inequality at individual level, argues that happiness depends on perceived gaps within reference groups in society. The latter, by looking at income inequality at aggregate level, believes that income disparity in society as a whole is an important source of individual unhappiness. From the social norm perspective, this paper applies the multilevel logistic model of analysis on the data from the Chinese General Social Survey to examine the effect of income inequality on happiness as well as its mechanism. The results show that the sever income inequality brought by the rapid economic growth and social transformation has a detrimental effect on people's happiness in China. However, the depth of the effect is different between low-income groups and high income-groups. People in low-income strata are much more affected by income inequality in their sense of wellbeing. Relative deprivation and relationship trust form an important social psychological mechanism that influences the relationship between income inequality and happiness. The conclusion is that happiness is not entirely determined on the existence of income inequality itself but the fairness of income distribution in society. Therefore, a fair and just income distribution system is the key to improve happiness of Chinese citizens.
