Building on social identity approach and intergroup helping as status relations model, the current research examined the explored effects of stability of social stratification and forms of help on higher socioeconomic status (SES) members’ attitudes towards anti-poverty programs. Two studies were conducted in a 2 (social stratification stability) × 2 (forms of help) design on willingness to support anti-poverty programs. Study 1 examined the conditions of unstable and stable social stratification that might pattern differences in support of hypothetical anti-poverty programs construed as dependency-oriented or autonomy-oriented help. Study 2 replicated and extended study 1 by examining higher SES (subjective) participants’ attitudes towards the cash transfer programs (conditional vs. unconditional, which were determined by their perceptions of the stability of social stratification). Overall, the results of the two studies confirmed that attitudes towards anti-poverty programs could be construed as specific forms of help (dependency-oriented and/or autonomy-oriented help) depending on the nature of the intergroup relations (stability of the social stratification). Finally, the theoretical contribution of the current research is discussed.

给他们鱼还是教他们钓鱼？社会分层和帮助形式的稳定性对较高社会经济地位群体成员对反贫困计划的态度的影响

基于社会认同方法和群体间帮助作为地位关系模型，当前的研究检验了社会分层稳定性和帮助形式对较高的社会经济地位（SES）成员对扶贫计划的态度的探索影响。在2（社会分层稳定性）×2（帮助形式）设计中进行了两项有关支持反贫困计划意愿的研究。研究1考察了不稳定和稳定的社会分层状况，这些状况可能会在支持假设为扶贫或自主性帮助的假想反贫困计划的支持上形成差异。研究2通过研究较高的SES（主观）参与者对现金转移计划的态度（有条件与无条件，这取决于他们对社会分层稳定性的看法）。总体而言，两项研究的结果证实，根据群体间关系的性质（社会分层的稳定性），对扶贫计划的态度可以解释为特定形式的帮助（面向依赖性和/或自主性的帮助）。 ）。最后，讨论了当前研究的理论贡献。
