Public Life as Tragedy

Some of the most perceptive observers of public life have emphasised its tragic dimensions, not so much out of sympathy for politicians, but because the lens of tragedy offers a unique insight into the realities of the world of politics. Here I attempt to synthesise this tragic perspective by employing the comments of those best positioned to identify the salient features of public life, its primary dramatis personae. Politics occasionally provides us with the kind of spectacular catastrophe that journalists like to construe as tragedy. But our purpose is to evoke a different, more personal, less visible kind of tragedy: the small but malignant tragedies of self‐betrayal, of inflation of the ego and deflation of conscience, of helpless witness to injustice and misfortune, of status unaccompanied by power or efficacy, of the shrinking of aspiration to the scale of the practicable, of disillusion and, on occasion, of despair.     

企业社会责任感知情境下消费者道德伪善的形成机理研究

本研究将心理学领域的道德伪善与企业社会责任相结合,将消费者企业社会责任响应中企业特征、产品特征以及消费者特征三个层次的调节变量引入概念模型,利用结构方程和多元回归方法,从经济理性和感性角度探讨了消费者道德伪善的形成机理。研究结果显示,企业社会责任信息刺激下,消费者态度和购买行为之间存在不一致性,表现出道德伪善性。企业能力和产品感知质量在消费者态度向购买行为转化过程中存在显著的正向调节效应,消费者表现出很强的经济特征;但是,面子意识在消费者态度向购买行为转化过程中不存在显著的调节效应。
