相对收入水平与城市居民获得感研究

A Research on Relative Income Level and Urban Residents’ Sense of Gain

自2015年习近平总书记首次提出改革要“让人民群众有更多获得感”以来,获得感研究日益受到学术界的重视,其中对收入与获得感之间关系的考察是这些研究中备受关注的领域。笔者利用CGSS 2015的数据,应用社会比较理论和期望值理论为研究视角,在控制了绝对收入的前提下,研究城市居民的相对收入水平与获得感的关系。研究发现,社会比较因素和自我期望因素能显著影响城市居民的获得感。当个体收入水平低于同龄群体或自己的过去时,他们的获得感就会下降。当个体在综合考虑自身能力后认为自己的收入水平没有达到自己的预期时,他们的获得感也将随之降低。

Since 2015,when Xi Jinping first proposed the reform to“let the people have more sense of gain”,the research on sense of gain has been increasingly attached importance to by the academic circle,among which the investigation on the relationship between income and sense of gain has been the focus of these studies.This paper intends to use CGSS2015 data and apply social comparison theory and expectation theory as the research perspective to study the relationship between the relative income level of urban residents and the sense of gain under the premise of controlling the absolute income.It is found that social comparison and self-expectation can significantly influence the sense of gain of urban residents.When an individual s income level is lower than that of a peer group or their own past,their sense of gain decreases.When individuals think that their income level does not meet their expectations after considering their own abilities,their sense of gain will also decrease.
