“…However, some studies offer clues that could link to this study. Wendorf, Alexander and Firestone (2002) found a correlation between some moral structures and distributive justice that included equity (which was quite similar to the BJW concept), and in the context of organisations, Ahmad, Ansari and Aafaqi (2005) suggested that high BJW managers exhibited utilitarian judgment in honesty-related dilemmas more often than in control-related dilemmas, and this phenomenon was not observed in low BJW persons.…”

This paper addresses the influence of belief in a just world on moral judgment using moral dilemmas by observing the interactions with the following independent variables: 1) dual-process cognitions (automatic or deliberate), 2) the protagonist's fate (bad, good, or absent), and 3) the type of dilemma (life-threatening or not). The results found no effects of belief in a just world on moral judgments. But an interaction between the protagonist's fate and the dilemma type emerged as significant. In Study 1, the protagonist was identified as a victim, the participants accepted moral violations against the bad fate victim to a greater extent in the life-threatening situation (turning the car to crash into one man in order to save five men) than in the non-life-threatening situation (choosing an employee for dismissal to save the company's financial status). In Study 2, the protagonist was specified as an offender. The participants accepted the violations against the good fate offender to a greater extent in the non-life-threatening than in the life-threatening situation. Meanwhile, the participants in the control groups (for whom the protagonist was not affected by fate) of both studies exhibited greater acceptance of moral violations in the non-life-threatening than the life-threatening situations.

“…In a policing context, well-developed MR would suggest that people tend to follow procedural justice principles when dealing with conflicts between basic human rights and societal rules (Kohlberg, 1981). Empirically, high levels of MR are also found to be positively associated with compliance with procedural justice (Myyry & Helkama, 2002;Wendorf et al, 2002). Here, we used the Defining Issues Test-2 (DIT-2) to measure MR (Kohlberg, 1984;Rest et al, 1999a, b).…”

Police education and democratic policing in Taiwan: a longitudinal quasi-experimental study of the effects of selection and police socialisation on human rights, moral reasoning and prejudice

Objectives To investigate the effects of selection and group socialisation on support of human rights, moral reasoning and prejudice in police officers in Taiwan. Methods We used a longitudinal quasi-experimental design to track three cohorts of police officers (n = 585) and a comparison group of criminology undergraduates (n = 43). Results There were no statistically significant differences in measures of human rights, moral reasoning and prejudice between new police recruits and the control group. However, time in police education was associated with a statistically significant reduction in police officer support of human rights, moral reasoning and an increase in prejudice. In the control group, the reverse was true. Conclusions Exposure to police education in Taiwan resulted in police officers being significantly more prejudiced and significantly less adherent to the principles of human rights and moral reasoning. These results appear to be attributable to police socialisation rather than selection effects.

“…Social psychologists have defined the justice afforded by decision-making procedures as the perception among people that the decision-making process itself is fair and equitable (Thibaut & Walker, 1975; see also Lind & Tyler, 1988; Wendorf & Firestone, 1999). Researchers have found that the decision maker’s neutrality, the degree of respect that the decision maker confers on the parties, the amount of voice and control that the parties have over the legal dispute, and the degree to which parties can trust the decision maker’s motive to be fair influence people’s perceptions of procedural justice (Tyler, 1987; Tyler, 2000; Tyler, 2006; Tyler & Lind, 1992).…”

Two studies provide empirical support for Thibaut and Walker’s (1978) theory that inquisitorial and adversarial dispute resolution systems are associated with different psychological values: the pursuit of truth and the pursuit of justice. Study 1 suggests that, in civil and criminal disputes, the adversarial system is perceived to produce less truth than it does justice, and less truth than does the inquisitorial system. Conversely, the inquisitorial system is perceived to produce less justice than it does truth, and less justice than does the adversarial system. Study 2 examines how legal outcomes moderate litigants’ perceptions of the truth and justice produced by these dispute resolution systems. Study 2 suggests that perceptions of the truth and justice provided by the adversarial system are highly sensitive to the outcome of the dispute, whereas perceptions of the truth and justice provided by the inquisitorial system are not affected by dispute outcomes. Implications for Thibaut and Walker’s theory are discussed.
