- Title
PERCEPTION OF ECONOMIC DISTRIBUTIVE JUSTICE: EXPLORING LEADING THEORIES.
- Authors
Sik Hung Ng; Allen, Michael W.
- Abstract
This study assessed the power of four theories in predicting individuals' perception of economic distributive justice: Self-interest Theory, Belief in a Just World, Attribution Theory, and Ideology. On the basis of a community survey of 487 adults, regression analyses showed that Self-interest Theory and Belief in a Just World provided moderate predictions of economic distributive justice perception; and Attribution Theory and Ideology yielded the strongest predictions. This finding has implications for future theoretical development.
