The literature on preferences for redistribution has paid little attention to the effect of social mobility on the demand for redistribution and no systematic test of the hypotheses connecting social mobility and preferences for redistribution has yet been done to date. We use the diagonal reference model to estimate the effect of origin and destination classes on preferences for redistribution in a large sample of European countries using data from the European Social Survey. Our findings are consistent with the logic of acculturation in the sense that newcomers tend to adapt their views to those of the destination class at early stages and that upward and downward mobility do not have distinctive effects on the formation of political preferences. However, even though social origins seem to have a limited impact on preferences for redistribution, the evidence does not support the hypothesis that mobile and non-mobile individuals are alike. We also find that the effect of social origin on preferences varies largely across countries. The empirical evidence leads to the conclusion that the effect of social origin on preferences for redistribution increases in contexts of strong familism.
关于再分配偏好的文献很少关注社会流动对再分配需求的影响，也没有对社会流动与再分配偏好之间的假设进行系统的检验。我们使用对角线参照模型，利用欧洲社会调查的数据，在一个大型的欧洲国家样本中估计了出身和目的地阶层对再分配偏好的影响。我们的研究结果与文化适应的逻辑是一致的，即新来者在早期阶段往往会调整自己的观点以适应目的地阶层的观点，而且向上和向下的流动对政治偏好的形成没有独特的影响。然而，尽管社会出身似乎对再分配偏好的影响有限，但证据并不支持这样一种假设，即流动和非流动的个体是相似的。我们还发现，社会出身对偏好的影响在各国之间存在很大差异。实证证据得出的结论是，在强烈的家庭主义背景下，社会出身对再分配偏好的影响会增大。
