“Past research has found that individuals who are especially high in dispositional belief in a Just World are more likely to derogate innocent victims, by perceiving them as less attractive, having less positive qualities and more negative characteristics (Bizer et al., 2012;Correia & Vala, 2003;Hafer, 2000;Mendonça et al., 2016;Tepe et al., 2020).”

In the citing paper
“Both of these responses have been documented in secular cultural contexts as a way that people maintain the view that the world is just, even when bad things happen to ostensibly innocent people (Bizer et al., 2012;Correia & Vala, 2003;Hafer, 2000;Mendonça et al., 2016;Tepe et al., 2020).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
