Abstract

The problem of social inequality in present-day Russia is looked at from psychological point of view. Using economical notions of normal and excess disparity social-psychological mechanisms leading to negative effect of excess disparity on personality motivation and perspective evaluation are described. The authors argue that these mechanisms are the link between income disparity as economic phenomenon and different sides of social life such as birth rate, mortality, population health, violence, suicides, corruption, social-political processes.
