Abstract

ABSTRACT In this article, we reply to Jost et al.'s (2023) rejoinder to our article reviewing evidence for the social identity model of system attitudes (SIMSA; Rubin et al., 2023). We argue that (1) SIMSA treats system justification as the outcome of an interaction between general social psychological process and specific historical, political, cultural, and ideological environments; (2) it does not conflate perceived intergroup status differences with the perceived stability and legitimacy of those differences, (3) it is not fatalistic, because it assumes that people may engage in social change when they perceive an opportunity to do so; (4) it adopts a non-reductionist, social psychological explanation of system justification, rather than an individualist explanation based on individual differences; (5) it presupposes “existing social arrangements”, including their existing legitimacy and stability, and assumes that these social arrangements are either passively acknowledged or actively supported; and (6) it is not reliant on minimal group experiments in its evidence base.

制度正当性的社会身份解释：误解、批评和澄清

在本文中，我们回复了Jost等人(2023)对我们的文章的回应，该文章回顾了系统态度的社会认同模型(SIMSA;Rubin et al.， 2023)。我们认为:(1)SIMSA将制度正当化视为一般社会心理过程与特定的历史、政治、文化和意识形态环境相互作用的结果;(2)它没有将感知到的群体间地位差异与感知到的这些差异的稳定性和合法性混为一谈;(3)它不是宿命论的，因为它假设当人们认为有机会时，他们可能会参与社会变革;(4)采用非还原论的社会心理学解释制度正当性，而不是基于个体差异的个人主义解释;(5)它以“现有的社会安排”为前提，包括其现有的合法性和稳定性，并假设这些社会安排要么得到被动承认，要么得到积极支持;(6)它不依赖于其证据基础中的最小群体实验。

期刊介绍： The "European Review of Social Psychology (ERSP)" is a distinguished international journal that operates under the patronage of the European Association of Social Psychology. It serves as a platform for comprehensive, theory-driven reviews that cover the broad spectrum of social psychology. The journal is open to submissions from authors worldwide and is guided by a prestigious international editorial board. ERSP is particularly interested in publishing reviews that reflect the author's own research program, as demonstrated by their publications in leading peer-reviewed journals. The journal values theoretical contributions that are grounded in a substantial empirical foundation, situating the research within the broader context of existing literature and offering a synthesis that goes beyond the individual articles. In addition to these in-depth reviews, ERSP also welcomes conventional reviews and meta-analyses, further enriching the journal's offerings. By focusing on high-quality, evidence-based research, ERSP contributes significantly to the advancement of knowledge in social psychology and fosters a deeper understanding of human social behavior across cultures and societies.
