“…Contrast to the relative deprivation, this feeling is positive and consequently can be defined as relative satisfaction. Such as what Moyes (2007) [14] pointed out, an individual could find some comfort when the poorer persons are chosen as the reference group. By reconstructing it, Hey and Lambert (1980) [15] divided the Yitzhaki index into the mean income and the satisfaction index.…”

In this paper, we combine the relative satisfaction and relative deprivation stemmed from wage comparison to form the relative perception as the integrated influence factor on the individual's utility function, which is the most different point from the former tournament theory studies. We introduce the relative perception into the tournament model and then analyze the Nash Equilibrium of the output competition game based on this modified model. Consequently, some new findings are obtained. Firstly, we find the relative perception could affect the utility of workers as similar as what the wage dispersion does. What's more, the income-utility sensitivity can also affect the decision of workers to choose the effort level. According to what is found in this study, the subjective perception should be paid enough attention to since it could affect the worker both in utility and consequent action. Besides, the wage policy should design properly and the differences in subjective sensitivity to relative perception or the proportion of income or perception among workers should be taken into account when the wage strategy is made.

“…Polarization is a newly coined concept in the measurement of inequality. It seems to capture the imagination and to have essential properties that may explain social unrest and conflicts (Esteban and Ray, 1994, 2001, 2007Wolfson, 1994;Duclos et al, 2004). Alternative formulations of the concept have been suggested by Wang and Tsui (2000) and Zhang and Kanbur (2001).…”

“… 9 The decomposition is applied to the Gini coefficient only. Although the extended Gini can also represent deprivation and other theories (Moyes, 2007), it is not decomposable in the same way as the Gini. …”

Polarization is a concept which is defined over the distribution of income. It is clear that it does not fit into the framework of the traditional Bergson-type Social Welfare Function. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether the concept can fit into the framework of the theory of Relative Deprivation. It is suggested that it may be incorporated into this theory as representing the power of groups. Copyright 2009 The Author.
