Criminological studies assert that individuals’ psychological cognition and emotional resentment mediate the effect of economic deprivation on individual violence; however, a limited number of studies have empirically addressed these subjective mediations. Furthermore, the effect of relative deprivation in Asian counties is seldom investigated. To fill this gap, we construct theoretical path models and examine the argument of relative deprivation in South Korea. A total of 2,040 individuals are surveyed face to face through stratified random sampling. The results show that the objective status of economic inequality does not directly affect individual violence. We conclude that the subjective perception of deprivation and emotional response are essential mediators for the effect of economic deprivation on individual violence.

从相对剥夺到个人暴力的途径：韩国主观感知和情绪怨恨的影响

犯罪学研究断言，个人的心理认知和情绪怨恨在经济剥夺对个人暴力的影响中起中介作用；然而，有限数量的研究经验性地解决了这些主观调解。此外，很少研究亚洲国家相对剥夺的影响。为了填补这一空白，我们构建了理论路径模型并研究了韩国相对剥夺的论点。通过分层随机抽样对总共 2,040 人进行了面对面的调查。结果表明，经济不平等的客观状况并不直接影响个体暴力。我们得出结论，剥夺的主观感知和情绪反应是经济剥夺对个人暴力影响的重要中介。
