歧视何时是不公平的？
When Is Discrimination Unfair?
摘要
We use a vignette-based survey experiment to elicit respondents’ assessments of the fairness of race-based hiring decisions and compare these assessments with the predictions of four preregistered ethical frameworks. While conservative respondents are much more accepting of discriminatory actions than others, respondents of all political leanings rate the relative fairness of different actions in a very similar way. A two-group framework in which one group (mostly self-described conservatives) values employers’ decision rights, the other has utilitarian concerns, and both groups use the same race-blind rules to assign relative fairness levels to actions explains our data well.
中文摘要
我们采用基于情境描述的调查实验，来获取受访者对基于种族的雇佣决策公平性的评估，并将这些评估与四个预注册伦理框架的预测进行比较。尽管保守派受访者比其他人更接受歧视性行为，但所有政治倾向的受访者对不同行为的相对公平性评价方式非常相似。一个双群体框架——其中一组（主要是自称保守派的人）重视雇主的决策权，另一组具有功利主义关切，且两组都使用相同的种族中立规则来为行为分配相对公平等级——很好地解释了我们的数据。
