Legitimacy Beliefs

The invariance thesis posits that the effects of procedural justice judgments on police legitimacy beliefs are consistent across a variety of contexts, including urban neighborhoods. An alternative argument, one steeped in the relational model of authority, holds that procedural justice effects are weaker in high-crime communities where residents do not identify with the police and where they place more weight on instrumental concerns. This study used survey data from 1,000 adults in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The regression models showed that the association between procedural justice and police legitimacy was stronger in low-risk neighborhoods. In high-risk areas, distributive justice was a stronger correlate of legitimacy. Overall, the findings highlight how neighborhood context can moderate the influence of fairness judgments on supportive beliefs.

Fairness Judgments

AbstractThis study examines how moral intuitions toward debt relief vary depending on whether a debt contract involves one country borrowing from another country or an individual borrowing from a bank. Participants respond to a vignette describing a basic debt dispute between a debtor and a lender. A judge in charge of settling the dispute decides to allow debt relief and participants express how fair they find the decision. Treatments vary (1) the debt context (international or person-bank), (2) the responsibility of lenders and debtors (whether their situations stem from bad luck or poor choices) and (3) whether a lender's profit motive is made salient. Results show that, across both international and person-bank debt, debt relief is perceived as being fairer when debtors are unlucky and when lenders are careless; profit salience, however, does not affect the perceived fairness of debt relief in either debt context. Results, when integrated with those from an initial related study, also point to anti-bank sentiment increasing the perceived fairness of debt relief when an individual borrows from a bank and to a consistent across-context ranking of the perceived fairness of debt relief in the scenario.

Fairness Judgments

A field study investigated 368 employees’ perceptions of the fair-ness of work group incentive pay plans. In particular, we studied therelationships between six antecedent variables (understanding of thepay plan, satisfaction with base pay, organizational commitment, beliefsin the pay plan eflectiveness, plan payout amount, and group identijication) and outcome variables, including fairness judgments of both theprocesses associated with the pay plan as well as the earned payoutamounts. The setting for this study was a major nonunion production facility of a Fortune 500 company that is involved in chemical produc-tion. The findings indicate that understanding of the pay plan, belief inthe pay plan effectiveness, and organizational commitment were relatedto perceptions of procedural justice. Moreover, pay satisfaction, under-standing, belief in the pay plan effectiveness, and organizational commitment were associated with perceptions of distributive justice.Further, we found significant effects of two control variables— job classification on perceptions of procedural justice, and organization altenure on both perceptions of procedural and distributive justice.

Fairness Judgments

AbstractThe target article by Baumard et al. uses their previous model of bargaining with outside options to explain fairness and other features of human sociality. This theory implies that fairness judgments are determined by supply and demand but humans often perceive prices (divisions of surplus) in competitive markets to be unfair.
