Title: | Equity, Responsibility and the Cultural Dimension |
Authors: | Gaertner, Wulf Schwettmann, Lars |
Abstract: | We present questionnaire studies concerning equity judgements based on an axiom that underlies Rawls´s difference principle. Our investigation, spanning over a period of fifteen years, was run at a German, Austrian and Slovenian university. We also modified two of our basic scenarios to check for responsibility aspects. Additionally, we included information on ocio-demographic characteristics of respondents in a probit model. Answers depend on cultural environments but results indicate some convergence over time. Responsibility considerations are important only if they are introduced in a quite obvious way. Although overall explanatory power of demographic attributes is low, we observe significant gender differences. |
