收入差距对国民幸福感影响的实证研究——基于文化的调节作用

An Empirical Study on the Impact of Income Gap on People’s Sense of Happiness——Based on Adjustment of Culture

本文利用基尼系数、国民幸福指数和Hofstede国家文化模型分析收入差距对国民幸福感的影响,发现收入差距和国民幸福感负向相关。文化对收入差距和国民幸福感之间的关系有重要的调节作用,其中权力距离、不确定规避对收入差距和国民幸福感之间的关系有正向调节作用,集体主义对收入差距和国民幸福感之间的关系有负向调节作用。另外,从文化引导方面对中国国民幸福感的提升提出了相关建议。

This paper uses the Gini coefficient, the people happiness index and Hofstede cultural dimensions model to analyze the effect of income disparity on people’s sense of happiness. It was found that the income gap and people happiness correlate negatively. Culture plays an important regulatory role on the relationship of income disparity and happiness. Power distance and uncertainty avoidance have a positive regulation effect on the relationship of income disparity and happiness, but collectivism has a negative regulation effect on the relationship of income disparity and happiness. This paper also puts forward some relevant suggestions about the promotion of China’s national happiness from the aspect of culture.
