“…Some studies have investigated dispositional Justice Sensitivity in samples from non-Western backgrounds (e.g., Magraw-Mickelson & Gollwitzer, 2018, in Japan; Wu et al, 2014, in Russia and China). Wu and colleagues focused on cross-cultural differences in mean levels of this disposition.…”

In Western samples, individuals differ systematically in the importance they assign to matters of justice and injustice, and dispositional Justice Sensitivity can be differentiated according to the perspectives of victim, observer, beneficiary, and perpetrator. In a cross-cultural comparison between the Philippines, Germany, and Australia ( N = 677 students), we investigated whether Justice Sensitivity can be equivalently described by these four perspectives, whether measurement instruments have invariant psychometric properties, and whether the psychological relevance of the Justice Sensitivity perspectives for cooperation behavior differs between these cultural contexts. The results of multigroup confirmatory factor analyses support weak measurement invariance and invariant associations between Justice Sensitivity perspectives and trust game decisions. Across cultures, victim sensitivity predicted reluctance to cooperate under threat of exploitation, and observer, beneficiary, and perpetrator sensitivities predicted cooperation under temptation. Our study extends insight into Justice Sensitivity to underresearched cultural contexts of urban and rural Philippines.

“…Furthermore, the perception of violent behaviors is related to a specific pattern of encoding (Magraw-Mickelson & Gollwitzer, 2018). For example, harm doers attract attention to a greater extent than harm receivers (Zajenkowska et al, 2022).…”

“…with higher interdependent selfconstrual) are less likely to perceive someone as provoking (Zajenkowska & Konopka, 2015) and, by extension, less eager to blame him or her when harm has been inflicted. Furthermore these two aspects of self-construal relate to the fact, that on the one hand, an individual must feel distinct from other people: the individual self, but on the other hand, individuals must also relate to others, which forms the communal aspects of self (Turner & Onorato, 1999;Chen et al, 2006, Magraw-Mickelson & Gollwitzer, 2018. This Relational aspect has been further characterised as (i) interpersonal relations defined by the relational self, and (ii) group memberships understood as the collective self (Gaertner at all, 2012).…”

“…However, the fact that people become angrier when a relational, compared to a collective group member other, is harmed implies relational-self primacy (Magraw-Mickelson & Gollwitzer, 2018). Selves have a different importance for each person and in studies where self-existence was threatened, both relational and individual selves are more important than the collective self but have comparable importance (e.g.…”

Self-construal influences the way people ascribe blame to victims, but it is not clear whether the same applies to harm doers, especially those in a position of authority. We examined (N=122, men n=60) participants’ ascriptions of both blame and intentionality to harm doers (authority figure versus peer) while priming self-construal (relational versus individual self). Using eye-tracking, we explored if priming relational self, compared to individual self, affects the allocation of attention to the faces versus objects. Although the effects of priming were not found, the type of harm doer influenced the way people interpreted harmful social encounters. Participants attributed both greater intentionality and blame to peer than authority perpetrators. Also, in the case of peer perpetrators, blame ascription was higher than judgements of intentionality, which was the opposite pattern for authority perpetrators, where judgements of intentionality was greater than ascribed blame. In regard to encoding, participants independently of the type of harm doer looked significantly longer at faces than at objects in violent scenes. Our results suggest the status of perpetrator influences judgements of harm independent of intrapersonal factors, like primed self-construal. Moreover, people perceived as authority figures are not blamed for the hurtful action, despite attributed intentionality.

Peace and justice are often regarded as a settled pairing in theoretical writingsbut what do we know about their empirical relationship? Will deepening research into this relationship pay off at all? Insights from other disciplines which have been involved in the "revolution in human sciences" for decades should serve as a powerful incentive in a field like international relations, which has always closely followed other disciplines for stimulation: Neuroscientists have located the circuits in the brain responsible for adverse reactions to violations of claims for justice. Evolutionary biologists have identified rules of distribution and retribution not only in early human societies but among contemporary social species as well. Psychologists have tracked the emergence of a sense of justice in very early childhood, while in experiments behavioral economists have identified behavior by "average" people that deviated significantly from the model of "economic man" and could only be explained by a sense of justice. The chapter discusses 2
