摘要：The past researches about social stratification and consumption focused on how to reflect the distinction of different social stratum or to achieve the reproduction of social status,o-verlooked to discuss the mechanism between the social stratification and consumption systemati-cally.This study focuses on the division of consumer preferences among different social strata, embedded in the framework of class analysis and historical change.Using the repeated design da-ta from China General Social Survey 2003 and 2013,the research finds that,on the surface,peo-ple's preferences in the material consumption,cultural consumption and leisure activities etc,are obviously increased in 2013 compared with 2003,but this trend is not significant after controlling the main social fators,demonstrating a kind of"kick upstairs"trend.Nevertheless,the relation-ship between social status and consumer preferences continued to be related robustly in ten years, the consumer preferences of the professionals,managers,and the routine non -manual workers have significantly advantage over the supervisors,technical workers,self -employed owners, and unskilled workers etc,forming a clear boundary or distinction.From the perspective of class analysis,social stratum still has significant explanatory power in China's social transformation, and the distinction of consumer preferences may further solidify the boundary between the social strata.%以往社會分層與消費研究重點關注消費如何體現不同社會階層地位之間的區隔,或實現階層地位的再生產,對社會分層與消費之間關系的鏈接機制缺乏系統的討論.采用"中國綜合社會調查"2003年和2013年兩次截面重復調查數據,將不同社會階層群體之間消費偏好差異置于階級/階層分析和歷史變遷的框架下予以考察,研究發現:與2003年相比,表面上人們在物質消費、文化消費和閑暇活動等方面的偏好都有明顯的增加,但在控制其他因素的情況下,這種趨勢并不明顯,反而出現"明升暗降".盡管如此,社會階層與消費偏好之間的關系在兩個年份間仍然持續而穩定,專業技術/管理人員、常規非體力人員的消費偏好明顯優于工頭/技術人員、個體戶/小業主、非技術體力工人等階層,形成了明顯的邊界或區隔.在中國社會轉型中,社會分層仍然具有顯著的解釋力,而消費偏好的區隔可能進一步固化了社會階層之間的差異.
