Research has shown that several criteria underlie people's opinions about the welfare deservingness of benefit recipients. However, it remains unknown which factors are associated with the emphasis that people place on such criteria. Using a 2006 Dutch national survey on the welfare deservingness of disability pension recipients, we study the influence of structural and cultural factors on people's emphasis on three deservingness criteria: control, need, and reciprocity. OLS regression analyses show that people's emphasis on specific deservingness criteria is strengthened by structural factors that indicate the possibility of resource competition such as the following: age, lower levels of education, unemployment, and lower income. However, actual personal experience with receiving welfare benefits weakens criteria emphasis. Cultural factors such as the espousal of views from the political right and the possession of a strong work ethic are associated with a heightened emphasis on deservingness criteria.
研究表明,人们对福利领取者应得福利的看法有几个标准作为依据。然而,人们对这些标准的重视程度与哪些因素相关仍不清楚。我们利用2006年荷兰关于残疾养老金领取者应得福利的全国性调查,研究结构和文化因素对人们对三个应得福利标准(控制、需求和互惠)的重视程度的影响。普通最小二乘法回归分析表明,表明资源竞争可能性的结构因素,如年龄、教育程度较低、失业和收入较低,会加强人们对特定应得福利标准的重视。然而,实际领取福利的个人经历会削弱对标准的重视。文化因素,如支持政治右派观点和拥有强烈的职业道德,与对应得福利标准的更高重视程度相关。
