One's willingness to accept an outcome or even to correct it depends on whether the underlying procedure is deemed legitimate. We examine a modified version of the dictator game, where dictatorship is assigned by a fair procedure that is linked to the participant actions but in effect is completely random, to illustrate that this belief is not independent of the outcome and is self-serving in its nature. We also discuss the perceptions of fairness and merit as potential drivers of the observed behavioral phenomenon.
一个人是否愿意接受某个结果,甚至是否愿意纠正这个结果,取决于其是否认为背后的程序是合法的。我们检验了改良版的独裁者游戏,在这个游戏中,独裁者是由一个与参与者行为相关但实际上完全随机的公平程序来指定的,以说明这种信念不是独立于结果的,其本质是自私自利的。我们还讨论了公平感和绩效感作为观察到的行为现象的潜在驱动因素。
