Previous research has identified that the relationship between perceived economic inequality and supporting redistribution is mediated by beliefs about what causes poverty. Despite its usefulness, this approach has failed to recognize the role of perceived causes of wealth in explaining the relationship between these two variables. We conducted correlational ( = 523) and experimental ( = 226) studies, demonstrating that in contexts with high inequality, attributing poverty and wealth primarily to external factors resulted in greater support for redistribution. Furthermore, the attributions that served as mediators varied depending on the proposed redistributive measure. We delve into the significance of wealth attributional processes in understanding attitudes toward redistribution.
先前的研究已经确定，人们对经济不平等的认知与支持再分配之间的关系是由对贫困成因的信念所介导的。尽管这种方法很有用，但它未能认识到对财富成因的认知在解释这两个变量之间关系时所起的作用。我们进行了相关性研究（n = 523）和实验研究（n = 226），结果表明，在高度不平等的背景下，将贫困和财富主要归因于外部因素会导致对再分配的更大支持。此外，作为中介因素的归因因提议的再分配措施而异。我们深入探讨了财富归因过程在理解对再分配态度方面的重要性。
