The Impact Of Justice Sensitivity On Democratic Decision-making

2020 is the decisive year for China to build a well-off society throughout the year,and it is the key point to achieve the two centuries-old goals.A just society is especially important to all people at the moment.The intensity of the response is different,this difference is called the individual's Justice Sensitivity.Researchers have found that the individual's Justice Sensitivity can affect the willingness to participate in politics,and can predict the prosocial behavior of the individual and reduce the impact of self-interest on people's behavior.In the past few decades,the disparity in income and wealth inequality has widened in many democratic societies.In theory,the degree of social justice in a democratic country is determined by all people.At the same time,given that the vast majority everyone shows a preference for fair distribution,so it is difficult to explain these growing economic inequality and unfair distribution of wealth.In the distribution of income and wealth,the concern for justice may be related to the personal self-interest of money conflict has therefore led to the spread of inequality in democratic societies.In particular,whether an individual's just preference ultimately affect decision-making depends not only on personal interests,but also on a person's sensitivity to injustice and the individual's perception of the world.The perception of justice and Individual own social stratum.Therefore,experimental studies on the sensitivity of justice,the belief in a just world,the impact of its own social stratum in people's democratic decision-making process,and their relationships have been used to study the impact of individuals' fair preferences.Factors and how to promote individuals' true preferences for justice are important.From the perspective of individual justice,this study examines the impact of individual factors on individual fairness preferences.Individual factors include intrinsic personality traits,Justice Sensitivity,Belief in Just World,and individual hierarchy.First,translate and revise the Justice Sensitivity questionnaire prepared by Schmitt et al.(Schmitt et al,2010),and the results showed that the questionnaire had good reliability and validity after the translation.Experiment 1 used a questionnaire survey to investigate the status of Justice Sensitivity and Belief in Just World of the participants,and further explored the relationship between Justice Sensitivity,Belief in Just World,and individual's fairness preferences.Experiment 2 uses the welfare state paradigm to study the influence of Justice Sensitivity of individuals and their social strata on their fairness preferences.Specifically,the following results were found through this study:(1)The revised Chinese version of the Justice Sensitivity Scale(38 items)has good reliability and validity,meets the requirements of psychometrics,and can be applied to fairness research experiments.It includes four dimensions: victim sensitivity,observer sensitivity,beneficiary sensitivity,perpetrator sensitivity.(2)Gender,age,household registration,whether or not they are the only children are not significantly related to Justice Sensitivity and Belief in Just World.The education level of individuals is positively correlated with the Justice Sensitivity of individuals.The higher the degree,the higher the Justice Sensitivity.(3)The individual's Justice Sensitivity has an influence on the individual's decision-making behavior(fairness preference).Individuals with high Justice Sensitivity choose more low-level unequal distribution schemes.(4)The sensitivity of the beneficiaries and perpetrators affects the individual's democratic decision-making behaviors,and there are some intermediary effects.The Belief in Just World is an intermediary variable.(5)The priority of participants in choosing a distribution plan depends on the status of the participants in the social hierarchy of the virtual society.Among the upper and middle classes,the proportion of voting in favor of a higher inequality distribution plan is higher than in the lower classes.choose inequality.(6)Participants with high sensitivity to other-related Justice Sensitivity pay attention to justice,and their choice of distribution plan is not affected by their own interests to a certain extent.The subjects play a regulating role in the virtual society.(7)Individuals with higher victim sensitivity are more likely to pursue self-profit than subjects with lower victim sensitivity scores.
