Examining personal beliefs about social justice in the way a society provides financial security in old age may reveal potential conflicts about the distribution of wealth. Individuals differ with regard to how they believe old-age provisions should be distributed (e.g., based on principles of merit or self-reliance), and individuals often endorse more than one belief at the same time. Using latent profile analysis and data from the 2014 German Ageing Survey we identify five separate profiles of social justice beliefs among older adults (40–85 years) in Germany. Belief profiles were based on the extent to which people simultaneously endorse and/or reject meritocratic, redistributive, self-reliant, and fatalistic ideas regarding old-age provisions. Almost 20% of the sample demonstrated a belief system in line with the German meritocratic system. Roughly three-fifth did not show strong preferences for a specific social justice principle. However, we identified two belief profiles representing 22.4% of the sample which may reflect dissent from the current system. Sociodemographic characteristics, political identification, and indicators of social disadvantage (e.g., lower income, fears of decline in social status, and feelings of social exclusion) were differentially associated with the five belief profiles. Overall, the results showed that in particular people of lower socioeconomic status were critical with respect to the principles of the German pension system raising questions regarding the demand of political interventions.

关于德国旧规定的社会正义观念:潜在特征分析

以社会为老年人提供金融安全的方式来检验关于社会正义的个人信念可能会揭示财富分配方面的潜在冲突。个人在他们认为应如何分配养老金方面存在不同的看法(例如,基于功绩或自力更生的原则),而且个人经常同时认可一个以上的信仰。使用潜在的个人资料分析和2014年德国老龄化调查的数据,我们确定了德国老年人(40-85岁)中社会正义信念的五个独立资料。信仰概况是基于人们同时认可和/或拒绝关于养老金规定的精英,再分配,自力更生和宿命论的程度。几乎有20%的样本显示出与德国的精英制一致的信仰体系。大约五分之三的人没有表现出对特定社会正义原则的强烈偏好。但是,我们确定了两个信念配置文件,它们代表了样本的22.4%,这可能反映了当前系统的异议。社会人口统计学特征,政治认同和社会劣势指标(例如,较低的收入,对社会地位下降的恐惧以及对社会的排斥感)与这五个信仰特征存在差异。总体而言,结果表明,就德国养老金制度的原则而言,社会经济地位较低的人尤其重要,这引发了对政治干预需求的质疑。可能反映当前系统异议的样本的4%。社会人口统计学特征,政治认同和社会劣势指标(例如,较低的收入,对社会地位下降的恐惧以及对社会的排斥感)与这五个信仰特征存在差异。总体而言,结果表明,对于德国养老金制度的原则,社会经济地位较低的人尤其重要,这引发了对政治干预需求的质疑。可能反映当前系统异议的样本的4%。社会人口统计学特征,政治认同和社会劣势指标(例如,较低的收入,对社会地位下降的恐惧以及对社会的排斥感)与这五个信仰特征存在差异。总体而言,结果表明,对于德国养老金制度的原则,社会经济地位较低的人尤其重要,这引发了对政治干预需求的质疑。
