Abstract

Nearly 1,700 psychology students from 12 countries completed the Rubin and Peplau (1973) Just World Beliefs Scale, which measures the extent to which people believe the world is just or unjust. There were large and predicted differences for both the just and unjust world components of the scale, which were analyzed separately. However, there were few sex differences within each society. Rank-ordered just world and unjust world scores correlated significantly with two of the cultural dimensions (power-distance and individualism) that were found by Hofstede (1984).

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.
