“…It is a scale that measures order-related justice attitudes in relation to a preference for any one of the four principles of distribution that are distinguished in justice research (Deutsch 1975;Konow 2003;Gollwitzer and van Prooijen 2016;Liebig and Sauer 2016):…”

“…It measures equality and need as two distinct, independent dimensions without also measuring the institution or entity responsible for allocation or distribution. The latter aspect would be a subject of research on procedure-related justice attitudes, because this area of research focuses on the procedures of allocation and distribution and on the institutions and entities that are entrusted with those decisions (Liebig and Sauer 2016). In addition, to different extents and in different combinations, each of the four distribution principles can be identified as guiding norms for allocating and distributing goods and burdens within different societal institutions (Nullmeier and Vobruba 1995), meaning that the BSJO scale refers to a set of norms or principle that can be identified in the basic institutional structure of modern societies independently from attitude research.…”

“…Whereas in the early days, the primary purpose was to examine the distribution preferences with respect to equality and inequality, in the 1990s, a more differentiated approach began to develop that was inspired by the advances in psychological and social-psychological justice research (see Liebig and Sauer 2016). Starting in the mid-1970s, psychologists began to understand that individuals use a small, limited set of fundamental distribution rules when distributing and evaluating the allocation of benefits and burdens.…”

“…In contrast, the Basis Social Justice Orientations (BSJO) Scale presented in this paper applies these principles to examine the normative attitudes to the resolution of societal distribution problems. In line with the distinction first proposed by Wegener (1992) and by Liebig and Sauer (2016), we will regard these attitudes as order-related justice attitudes, because these attitudes relate to the rules or norms that guide allocation and distribution. Order-related justice attitudes are distinct from procedure-related and outcome-related justice attitudes.…”

Terms of use: Documents in SOEPpapers on Multidisciplinary Panel Data Research at DIW BerlinThis series presents research findings based either directly on data from the German SocioEconomic Panel study (SOEP) or using SOEP data as part of an internationally comparable data set (e.g. CNEF, ECHP, LIS, LWS, CHER/PACO). SOEP is a truly multidisciplinary household panel study covering a wide range of social and behavioral sciences: economics, sociology, psychology, survey methodology, econometrics and applied statistics, educational science, political science, public health, behavioral genetics, demography, geography, and sport science.The decision to publish a submission in SOEPpapers is made by a board of editors chosen by the DIW Berlin to represent the wide range of disciplines covered by SOEP. There is no external referee process and papers are either accepted or rejected without revision. Papers appear in this series as works in progress and may also appear elsewhere. They often represent preliminary studies and are circulated to encourage discussion. Citation of such a paper should account for its provisional character.

AbstractThe paper introduces a short scale for measuring attitudes to four fundamental principles of the just distribution of benefits and burdens in a society. The Basic Social Justice Orientations (BSJO) scale is an eight-item scale that measures agreement with the equality, equity, need, and entitlement principle. In contrast to comparable other scales that have been used in justice research in the past, the BSJO scale is consistent with the current state of empirical justice research and allows for the study of the constructs distinguished by studies in that area and, more specifically, in the context of population surveys and with respect to societal distribution conflicts. The paper reports the methodological aspects of the construction and use of the scale in population surveys, as well as results concerning reliability and validity. The study uses data from three general social surveys that have been conducted in Germany: LINOS-1, SOEP Innovation Sample 2012, and ALLBUS 2014. The analysis of these three data sets confirms the assumed...

Every day, and in all walks of life, the sense of justice is at work. Humans form ideas about what is just, and they make judgments about the justice or injustice of the things they see around them. Both the ideas of justice and the assessments of injustice set in motion a train of individual and social processes, touching virtually every area of the human experience. Thus, in the quest to understand human behavior, understanding the operation of the sense of justice is basic. And justice is central across the subfields of sociology. This entry summarizes the justice synthesis begun in the late twentieth century and the foundation for the coming synthesis of the twenty‐first century. The first synthesis looks inward, providing a parsimonious and coherent model for understanding and investigating every aspect of distributive justice. The coming second synthesis looks outward, forging the links between justice (generalized to all comparison processes) and the two other primordial sociobehavioral forces – status and power – and proposing a new unified theory.
