Investment in Long-Term Goals and Commitment to Just Means Drive the Need to Believe in a Just World
Abstract
The author hypothesized that the less one focuses on long-term goals, or the less one plans to achieve goals through just means, the less essential is the belief in a just world (BJW) and the less one will work at maintaining this belief when it is threatened. In Studies 1 and 2, participants’ focus on long-term investments was either manipulated or measured, and their reactions to a victim who presented a high or low threat to the BJW were assessed. In Study 2, the tendency to obtain goals through unjust means (delinquency) also was measured. As predicted, strong long-term focus and low-delinquency participants reacted more negatively toward the high-threat victim, presumably to maintain the BJW. Study 3 showed that the more one focuses on long-term investments and the less one uses unjust means, the stronger one’s BJW.

“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).”

“A second strategy is to distance oneself from the victim, as a way to reassure oneself that even if bad things happened to someone else, one's own life outcomes can still be governed by fairness principles that ensure bad things only happen to bad people (Drout & Gaertner, 1994;Hafer, 2000;Lerner, 1980;Pinciotti & Orcutt, 2021).”

“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.
