腐败的社会心理探源与儒家廉政思想的现代意义

腐败是一种在人类社会的各个历史时期和各类文化群体中普遍存在的社会现象，但理论界对腐败的界定和成因并未达成共识。从社会心理学的角度来看，腐败是理性的个人经过高度精密的利益计算和反复权衡之后的结果，是经济人的原则入侵政治和社会领域的表现。腐败并非仅仅存在于公共的政治领域，任何职业和个人都存在腐败的可能。从源头治理腐败，需要根除滋生腐败的社会文化土壤，培育完善的道德和法律体系，增进个人的道德情操。我国传统儒家文化中含有的大量廉洁奉公思想可以为现代社会的反腐倡廉事业提供强大的思想源泉。

Exploration of the Corruption Social Psychology and the Modern Significance of Confucianism Thoughts Concerning Integrity

Corruption is for human society a universal phenomenon existing in every historical stage and every cultural group. However, unanimous ideas haven’t been reached as to the definition and cause of corruption among theorists. From the perspective of social psychology, corruption is a result of a rational individual after the careful calculation of interests, and the balance of pros and cons. It’s the display of the economic principles invading the political and social fields. Corruption doesn’t only exist in the public political fields. It’s possible to appear in any profession and individual. To prevent corruption from the source, we should eradiate the social and cultural soils which nurture corruption, develop perfect moral and legal systems, and enhance individuals’ moral sentiment. Confucianism, our traditional culture, contains a great number of thoughts concerning integrity, which can provide the mission of anti-corruption with a powerful idea source.
