Résumé
The aim of this paper is to highlight the important contribution of the lens of distributive justice to an understanding of family relations. Existent justice research in the family tends to focus on specific family relations: spouses, parents and young children, elderly parents and adult children, with most research addressing the division of labor between spouses. We seek to go beyond the specific family relations in order to highlight justice-related themes that are common across family relations. We elaborate upon three claims. First, we show that while the ideal of equality underpins justice in contemporary Western societies, actual distribution practices across family relations are characterized by persistent inequality. Second, although the gap between the ideal of equality and unequal distribution practices may create a sense of injustice among family members, we show why this is not necessarily the case. Third, we elaborate upon the positive and negative consequences that result from feelings of justice or injustice across family relations. We conclude by discussing the interweaving of love and justice in the family. El objetivo de este artículo es destacar la importante contribución de la perspectiva de la justicia distributiva para comprender las relaciones familiares. Las investigaciones existentes sobre la justicia en la familia tienden a centrarse en relaciones familiares específicas: cónyuges, padres e hijos pequeños, padres ancianos e hijos adultos; y la mayor parte de estas investigaciones abordan la división del trabajo entre los cónyuges. Intentamos ir más allá de las relaciones familiares específicas a fin de destacar temas relacionados con la justicia que son comunes entre las relaciones familiares. Nosotros ampliamos tres afirmaciones. Primero, demostramos que si bien el ideal de igualdad apoya la justicia en las sociedades occidentales contemporáneas, las prácticas actuales de distribución entre las relaciones familiares se caracterizan por la desigualdad constante. Segundo, aunque la brecha entre el ideal de igualdad y las prácticas de distribución desigual puede generar una sensación de injusticia entre los miembros de la familia, demostramos por qué esto no necesariamente es así. Tercero, señalamos las consecuencias positivas y negativas que resultan de los sentimientos de justicia o injusticia entre las relaciones familiares. Finalizamos con una discusión alrededor de la interrelación entre amor y justicia en la familia. 本研究旨在强调分配性公正这一视角对理解家庭关系的重要贡献。现有的关于家庭内公正的研究往往侧重于特定的家庭关系如配偶、父母和幼儿、老年父母和成年子女，大多数研究都是针对配偶之间的劳动分工。我们试图超越特定的家庭关系，以突出与公正相关的主题，而这些主题在各类家庭关系中是常见的。我们详细阐述了三个论断。首先，我们的研究表明虽然在当代西方社会，公正是以平等理念为基础而来的，但家庭关系中的实际分配做法却具有持续不平等的特征。第二，虽然理想的平等和不平等的分配做法之间的差距可能会在家庭成员中产生不公正的感觉，我们的研究表明不一定非得这样的原因。第三，关于正义的研究表明，家庭内部的正义感或不正义感可能会深刻影响家庭成员的幸福、家庭关系的质量和整个家庭的幸福。因此，我们详细阐述了在各种家庭关系中产生的由公正感或不公正感而导致的积极和消极后果。我们的结论指出有必要针对不同的家庭特征的公正进行进一步的研究，西方国家家庭和非西方国家家庭以及西方和非西方家庭之间的家庭特点，还指出家庭特征对研究家庭关系中的分配性公正的意义。.
