“…Secondary school students' PBJW was positively associated with both teacher justice (e.g., Dalbert & Stoeber, 2005;Kiral Ucar & Dalbert, 2018) and classmate justice (e.g., Correia & Dalbert, 2007). In addition, studies have shown that teacher justice (e.g., Dalbert & Stoeber, 2005;Donat, Peter, Dalbert, & Kamble, 2016; and classmate justice (e.g., Correia & Dalbert, 2007) mediated the relation between secondary school students' PBJW and various indicators of well-being, including life satisfaction.…”

“…In detail, Gerhards (2010) described that Turkish citizens prefer a traditional male-dominated gender order and show an affinity to a more authoritarian regime. Despite these cultural differences, no significant differences of the PBJW have been identified between German and Turkish students (Kiral Ucar & Dalbert, 2018). Differences in PBJW between various countries have often been studied but were not significant (Alves, Gangloff, & Umlauft, 2018; Social Justice Research (2020) 33:428-453 Correia & Dalbert, 2007;.…”

A cross-national study with university students from Germany (n = 1135) and Turkey (n = 634) tested whether personal belief in a just world (PBJW) predicts students’ life satisfaction and academic cheating. Based on the just-world theory and empirical findings in the school context, we expected university students with a stronger personal BJW to be more satisfied with their lives and cheat less than those with a weaker BJW. Further, we investigated the mediating role of justice experiences with lecturers and fellow students in these relations. Differences in PBJW directly and indirectly predicted undergraduates’ life satisfaction. Students’ justice experiences with peers mediated the relationship between PBJW and life satisfaction. Differences in PBJW indirectly predicted undergraduates’ academic cheating. Students’ justice experiences with lecturers mediated the relationship between PBJW and academic cheating. The results did not differ between German and Turkish students and persisted when we controlled for gender, start of studies, socially desirable responding, general BJW, and self-efficacy. We discussed the importance of personal BJW’s adaptive functions and their relevance for international university research and practice.

“…In line with this reasoning, individuals who strongly endorsed BJW felt more justly treated by others. For example, students with a strong BJW rated their classmates and teachers as fair (e.g., Correia & Dalbert, 2007;Münscher et al, 2020) and BJW was especially important for disadvantaged students in evaluating their teachers as more just over time (Kiral Ucar & Dalbert, 2020).…”

The purpose of this study was to understand the complex relationships between belief in a just world (BJW), perceived control, perceived risk to self and others, and hopelessness among a globally diverse sample during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The just-world hypothesis suggests that people need to believe in a just world in which they get what they deserve and deserve what they get. Studies have shown that believing in a just world has an adaptive function for individuals. Samples from six countries completed an online questionnaire. A total of 1,250 people participated (934 female) and ages ranged from 16 to 84 years old (M = 36.3, SD = 15.5). The results showed that, when controlling for gender, age, country of residence, and being in a risk group for COVID-19 (e.g., smoker, old age, chronic disease etc.), a stronger personal and general BJW and higher perceived control over the COVID-19 pandemic predicted lower levels of hopelessness. How at-risk participants perceived themselves to be for COVID-19 positively predicted hopelessness, but how risky participants perceived the disease to be for others negatively predicted hopelessness. This study highlights how the distinction between self and others influences hopelessness and how BJW, especially personal BJW, can serve as a psychological resource during times of historic uncertainty.

“…It contributes to positive attitudes toward the political and economic system by framing material and legal inequalities as just and fair. Empirical evidence supports the same causal direction, with studies showing that BJW longitudinally forms justice perceptions in more specific areas of life (Dalbert & Stoeber, 2006; Kiral Ucar & Dalbert, 2020). Experimental studies also confirm that people with stronger BJW tend to react to injustices in a different manner than those with lower levels of BJW, which also supports the causal influence of BJW on justice perceptions (Ellard & Bates, 1990; van den Bos & Maas, 2009).…”

Negative contexts as catalyzers: Belief in a just world enhances political trust via perceived procedural justice, and contextual procedural injustice boosts it

In our multinational study, we tested the hypothesis that belief in a just world (BJW) enhances political trust by strengthening perceptions of political procedural justice. Based on data from the ninth round of the European Social Survey and various country‐ranking indices, we found a positive relationship between BJW and political trust, with perceived procedural justice serving as an important mediator in this relationship. More importantly, our multilevel analysis indicated that the actual quality of procedural justice moderates this relationship in a way that BJW enhances perceived procedural justice and political trust indirectly to a greater extent in countries with more severe problems with political procedural justice. The results show that a negative context serves as a catalyzer for motivated perceptions, as BJW pushes perceptions in the direction of justice even more strongly in an unjust context, which, in turn, contributes to gratuitous political trust.
