摘要: 制度正当化是指个体将现存社会安排合法化的心理过程。制度正当化的理论基础包括谬误意识、公正世界信念理论和认知失调理论。制度正当化理论能够解释人们为什么以及怎样在认知和意识形态上维护和支持现状, 以及由此产生的一些积极和消极后果。制度正当化受到个体因素和情境因素的影响。未来研究应进一步明确制度正当化中“制度”的涵义, 加强制度正当化理论的应用性研究, 以便更好地解释社会转变如何产生。

Abstract: System-justification is the psychological process by which existing social arrangements are legitimized. The theoretical bases for system justification include such theories as false consciousness, belief in a just world theory and cognitive dissonance theory. System justification theory can explain why and how people would maintain and bolster the status quo in cognitive and ideology, and it also explicates the positive and negative results it brings. System justification is influenced by individual factors and contextual factors. Researchers should clarify the meaning of system in the construct of system justification and reinforce the applied research on the system justification theory so as to better explicate how the social changes occur.

Key words: system justification, stereotype, outgroup favoritism, compensatory control
