政策框架视角下反腐倡廉增进公众幸福感的实证研究

An Empirical Study of the Promotion of Happiness by Anti-graft from the Perspective of Policy Framework

反腐倡廉是当前必须抓好的重大政治任务,也是不断增强人民群众幸福感的重要保障。然而,当前研究多从反腐败斗争和廉政建设两条路径来解释反腐倡廉对幸福感的影响,忽略了其一体两面的政策特征。实证研究结果发现,反腐倡廉政策框架有助于提高居民幸福感,相较于反腐框架,倡廉框架的影响更为显著。象征性代表和权力距离取向是反腐倡廉政策框架增进幸福感的内在影响因素。象征性代表在反腐倡廉政策框架增进幸福感的过程中发挥中介作用,权力距离取向能有效调节象征性代表对幸福感的影响,同时权力距离取向可以调节反腐倡廉通过象征性代表对幸福感的间接效应。

The research focuses on the frame effect and confirms the influence of anti-graft on happiness and its internal mechanism through two experiments.Our research confirms that,compared with anti-corruption framework,the influence of integrity framework on happiness is more positive,and this conclusion is highly stable when we use different experimental manipulation methods(such as field experiment and platform questionnaire),different situational materials(college or workplace),and different subjects(college students or social men).This reminds us that in the process of increasing our efforts to fight corruption,we should not be limited to focusing on the anti-corruption warning records such as hunting,loyalty and betrayal,but also to deploy the standard Party Central Committee to advocate integrity,extend the scope of the construction of a clean culture,and do a good job of advocating integrity.The psychological mechanism behind this influence is that the frame effect helps the trustor who receives the anti-graft information to verify the trustee’s perception of interest representation.In addition,we found that after receiving the anti-graft message,individuals verified the role of symbolic representation through other channels(such as power distance),and their experience of happiness changed.This conclusion reaffirms the critical mediating role of symbolic representation.Meanwhile,the indirect effect of anti-graft on happiness through symbolic representation is moderated by power distance orientation.The role of symbolic representatives mediates the relationships between anti-graft and happiness when the power distance orientation of individuals is much higher.Compared with existing researches,we put forward several innovative arguments.Firstly,starting from the frame effect,we try to expand the application field of characteristic framework and explore the relationship between policy framework and happiness.Most of the previous researches on framing effect focused on psychology.This paper tries to expand the research field of framing effect and discusses the influence of positive and negative attribute information titers on happiness.Taking the policy framework as the main line and introducing the two-dimensional structure of anti-corruption and advocating integrity,this paper puts forward a new research perspective to explain the heterogeneity of policy preferences under the condition of individual psychological perception.At the same time,in order to adhere to the broad and subtle,the construction of a better chain of happiness causal relationship awakens the concept of interdisciplinary research.Secondly,happiness is the subjective psychological experience that people pursue forever.Literature search shows that happiness research has a long history.However,we are the first to demonstrate the influence of anti-corruption and integrity on happiness and its internal mechanism by means of experimental research from the perspective of subjective psychological experience.Thirdly,this paper innovatively introduces symbolic representation,which is regarded as an internal factor from the perspective of social psychology of policy,and holds that symbolic representation eliminates the doubts of individuals on the representation of interests of bureaucrats and causes positive effects of policy framework.Most of the previous studies focused on the gender and race of symbolic representation,but this paper tries to expand and deepen the research in this field.Finally,in the process of examining the relationship between power distance orientation and symbolic representation,this paper finds that individual power distance orientation and the degree of matching of representative interests of bureaucrats are important reasons that affect the level of individual psychological well-being.This conclusion provides a new explanatory perspective for interpreting the influence mechanism of individual happiness in the context of policy framework.
