“…Such a belief could emerge from attributions about why the decision maker is unwilling or unable to alter outcomes-a possibility we explore in Study 2. It may also reflect the grievant's "belief in a just world"-the notion that people are inevitably rewarded and punished in proportion to the good and evil, respectively, that they have done (Lerner, 1980;Tanaka, 1999).…”

Justice research has established that voice enhances procedural justice—a phenomenon known as the ‘voice effect’—through both instrumental and non‐instrumental mechanisms. However, limited research attention has been devoted to the underlying motivational bases for the operation of one or the other explanatory mechanism in a given situation. We report the findings of two laboratory studies examining situational, motivational, and attributional underpinnings for the voice effect. We found that motivation to voice varied with characteristics of the authority to whom a grievance is directed. In both studies, an interaction revealed that non‐instrumental motivation for voice is more important when instrumental motivation is lacking or unavailable. In Study 2, we introduce the role of social attributions into research on the voice effect, finding that grievants' judgments about their objectives in using voice vary with the attributions they make about the motives behind the authority's actions. We discuss implications of our findings for both theory and practice.

“…For instance, Furnham and Reilly (1991) found that both British and Japanese endorsed the similar scores on the Just World Scale. One notable study related to rape victim attribution was investigated by Tanaka (1999). He found that individuals with high BJW tend to evaluate other people's misfortune more negatively than individuals with low BJW, while individuals with high BJW tend to assess their own misfortune less negatively than individuals with low BJW.…”

This study examined the moderating role of rape myth acceptance (RMA) and belief in a just world (BJW) on victim blame attribution in either an alleged stranger or date rape case. As hypothesized, RMA and BJW were both significant predictors of victim blame behavior for the Japanese college students who participated in the study. Further, Japanese participants blamed the victim of date rape more than the victim of the stranger rape. The similarities and differences between findings from this study and those from Western countries are discussed.

“…However, it does exist in Japan (Tanaka, 1993). Interestingly, Japanese participants who strongly believe in a just world display larger self-serving bias than those who weakly believe in a just world (Tanaka, 1999).…”
