Unfairness aversion and relationship involving mutual exchange have been identified as two primary motivations underlying human decision making. However, because income and wealth inequality exist to some degree in all societies, these two key motivations can point to different decisions. In particular, when a receiver is less wealthy than a benefactor, a give and take action can lead to greater inequality.
In a study report data from a trust game variant where trustees’ responses to kind intentions generate inequality in favours of investors. In relation to a standard trust game treatment where trustees’ responses reduce inequality, the proportion of non-give and take decisions is twice as large when something done in return promotes inequality. Moreover, we find investors expect that this will be the case.
Overall, although both motives clearly play a role, their found strong evidence for inequality aversion. The results call attention to the potential importance of inequality in principal agent relationships, and have important implications for designing policies aimed at promoting cooperation. So how do we get to understand how social conditioning works and social trust work with equality and diversity how do you understand the power relationship and the dynamics of outcome and process and autonomy work within this.
- Do you think we need to understand this more?
- Does it matter for persist inequality within our society?
- What do you think?
