新社会阶层与社会凝聚力:社会心态的视角

The New Social Strata and Social Cohesion: The Perspective of Social Mentality

目前,新社会阶层的讨论基本上存在两种视角,一是社会学的分层研究视角,从体制外新中产阶层的角度对新社会阶层进行描述和分析,另一个是从阶级分析的视角出发,把新的社会阶层纳入团结的对象,从统战工作出发来关注和考察这一新兴群体。从新社会阶层的社会心态出发,将新社会阶层与体制内群体进行对比,选取一般社会调查数据中社会心态的有关指标,如生活满意度、社会状况评价和社会凝聚力指数来分析新社会阶层与体制内群体的差异,可以了解两个群体在社会心态上表现出的差异。

There are two basic perspectives in exploring the new social strata.The one is the perspective of social stratification,whose description and analysis is based on the concept of non-institutionalized new middle class.The other is the perspective of class analysis,which treats the new social strata as the object of the United Front.From the perspective of social mentality,the paper makes a comparison between the new social strata within and outside the institutionalized sectors.Life satisfaction,social status evaluation and social cohesion are taken into account as the main index in explaining the differences between the two social strata,which can shed light on their different social mentality.
