中国中间阶层的政治态度——基于世界价值观调查数据的实证研究

Political Attitudes of the Chinese Middle Class——Based on the Survey Data of WVS

中国中间阶层的发展壮大,深刻改变了当下中国的社会结构,为将来中国国家—社会关系的重构提供了无限可能性。乐观者认为中间阶层的扩大有利于政治参与的强化,稳步推动社会主义民主的不断进步;悲观者认为中间阶层的保守性无助于政治参与的进一步变革。文章利用世界价值观调查(World Values Survey)2007的中国数据,利用Logistic模型量化分析了中国目前中间阶层的政治态度,认为目前中国中间阶层并未具备更加浓厚的政治兴趣与政治参与意识,但已经形成了较显著的集体行动意识。

With the development of Chinese middle class, China＇s current social structure has been profoundly changed, which provides infinite possibilities of the state-social relations in future. Optimists believe that the expansion of the middle class is in favor of strengthening political participation and steadily pushes forward the continuous progress of socialist democ- racy; while pessimists believe that the conservative middle class does not contribute to further changes in political participa- tion. This paper analyzes the World Values Survey China＇s 2007 data, to explore the political attitudes of the middle class in current China. The result shows that ： China＇s middle class has not had a strong interest in politics or political sense of partic- ipation, but has become a more significant collective consciousness action.
