Abstract
The article addresses the attitudes to inequality in
the Russian society depending on the role of the
individual in a reference group. It is shown that
people are ready to accept significant income
inequality if they believe that the income is well
earned. No correlation was found between
subjective well-being and inequality. The vast
majority of people compare themselves with
friends, neighbours and relatives. The next most
important reference group is colleagues,
followed by celebrities. The rejection of
representatives of lower social classes is
negatively correlated with life satisfaction. At the
same time, the respondents expressed
willingness to build a society where, having due
means, people would organise help to those who
cannot provide for themselves.
Keywords: inequality, altruism, charity, views
of income inequality.
Аннотация
В статье исследуется отношение к неравенству
в российском обществе в зависимости от роли
индивида в референтной группе. Показано, что
люди готовы принимать значительное
неравенство доходов, если считают доход
заслуженным. Корреляции между
субъективным благополучием и неравенством
не обнаружено. Подавляющее большинство
людей сравнивают себя с друзьями, соседями и
родственниками. Следующая по значимости
референтная группа – коллеги, затем идут
знаменитости. Негативное отношение к
представителям более низких социальных
классов отрицательно коррелирует с
удовлетворенностью жизнью. При этом
респонденты выразили готовность к
построению такого общества, где, имея
средства, люди будут организовывать помощь
тем, кто не может себя обеспечить.
Ключевые ресурсы: неравенство, альтруизм,
благотворительность, представление о
неравенстве доходов.
