经济不平等感知对大学生不道德行为的影响：不公平感的中介作用与贫富差距归因的调节作用
The Impact of Perceived Economic Inequality on Unethical Behavior among College Students: The Mediating Role of Sense of Unfairness and the Moderating Role of Attributions of Rich-Poor Gap
摘要: 为了探究经济不平等感知对大学生不道德行为的影响机制及其边界条件，本研究采用主观不平等量表、不公平感量表、贫富差距归因量表及不道德行为决策量表，对237名大学生进行问卷调查。结果显示：(1) 经济不平等感知显著正向预测大学生不道德行为；(2) 不公平感在经济不平等感知与大学生不道德行为之间发挥部分中介作用；(3) 贫富差距归因在经济不平等感知与不公平感之间起显著调节作用。
Abstract: To explore the mechanisms and boundary conditions through which perceived economic inequality influences unethical behavior among college students, this study administered questionnaires to 237 college students using the Subjective Inequality Scale, the sense of unfairness Scale, the Attributions of Rich-Poor Scale, and the Unethical Decision Making scale. The results indicated that: (1) Perceived economic inequality significantly and positively predicted unethical behavior among college students; (2) Sense of unfairness partially mediated the relationship between perceived economic inequality and unethical behavior; (3) Attribution of rich-poor gap significantly moderated the relationship between perceived economic inequality and sense of unfairness.
