“…Considerable work in both areas supports the idea that claimants seen as responsible for their own plight are less likely to receive assistance. [17][18][19][20][21] In helping research, this finding is generally explained with reference to Bernard Weiner's 12 attributional model of motivation. In the area of distributive justice, experience allocating scarce dialysis machines in the United Kingdom 22 and the United States 7 has shown that many members of the public believe personal morality and responsibility for illness should influence how society allocates scarce life-saving technology.…”

“…Researchers have extensively examined people's varied compensatory reactions to injustice, including victim derogation and blame (Lerner & Miller, 1978), helping (DePalma, Madey, Tillman, & Wheeler, 1999;Simmons & Lerner, 1968), and retribution (Carlsmith, Darley, & Robinson, 2002;Goldberg, Lerner, & Tetlock, 1999;Miller & Vidmar, 1981). If the death of a physically attractive person does pose a threat to observers' BJW, then one should expect, along with increased perceptions of injustice, compensatory cognitive and/or behavioral reactions aimed at ameliorating the threat (Lerner, 1980).…”

“…Yet, benevolent reactions have only received minor attention in research on just-world theory. Moreover, the studies that have been conducted focused largely on individual differences in just-world beliefs to explain differences in helping (e.g., Bègue et al, 2008;DePalma et al, 1999). Nevertheless, more recent studies have focused on a broader array of possible reactions following a BJW threat and on explaining when people choose to react in a certain way (see, e.g., Hafer & Rubel, 2015;Harvey, Callan & Matthews, 2015).…”

“…Yet, since the introduction of just-world theory, most research has focused on the negative reactions toward innocent victims (for an overview, see Hafer & Bègue, 2005). Benevolent reactions have only received minor attention in research on just-world theory, with a few notable exceptions (see, e.g., Bègue, Charmoillaux, Cochet, Cury, & De Suremain, 2008;DePalma, Madey, Tillman, & Wheeler, 1999;Hafer & Gosse, 2010;Kogut, 2011). These studies have focused largely on individual differences in just-world beliefs to explain differences in helping and did not manipulate BJW threats nor did they focus on underlying processes that drive reactions to these threats.…”
