中文摘要
近几十年来，在劳动力市场和教育领域陷入困境的男性比例有所上升。我们通过一组涉及超过35,000名美国人的大规模实验研究表明，相较于女性落后，人们更能接受男性落后，且对支持落后男性的政府政策认同度更低。我们提供证据表明，其背后的机制是统计公平性歧视：人们认为落后男性比落后女性更不值得获得支持，因为他们更倾向于相信男性落后是由于缺乏努力。这些发现对于理解社会如何看待并回应数量不断增长的弱势男性群体具有重要意义。
Abstract
Abstract In recent decades, there has been an increase in the share of males struggling in the labor market and education. We show in a set of large-scale experimental studies involving more than 35,000 Americans that people are more accepting of males falling behind than they are of females falling behind, and less in agreement with government policies supporting males falling behind. We provide evidence of the underlying mechanism being statistical fairness discrimination: People consider males falling behind to be less deserving of support than females falling behind because they are more likely to believe that males fall behind due to lack of effort. These findings are important for understanding how society perceives and responds to the growing number of disadvantaged males.
