Study Notes
Overview of Social Psychology and Justice
- Social psychologists study how individuals perceive justice and injustice.
- They aim to understand how to create a more just society.
- Focus is on subjective experience of justice, not defining what is fair.
- Key questions include: What is perceived as fair? How are fairness perceptions formed? How do perceptions affect thoughts, feelings, and actions? What do people do to achieve justice?
What is Justice?
- Justice occurs when people are treated according to what they deserve.
- Justice involves fair treatment based on entitlement.
- Injustice occurs when rewards/punishments are disproportionate to what's deserved.
Social Exchange Theory of Justice
- Initially, some assumed motivation was purely self-interested.
- This view evolved to include Social Exchange Theory.
- Social Exchange Theory suggests people strive to maximize rewards and minimize costs in relationships.
- Fairness isn't always essential, but perceived fairness is important.
Examples of Social Exchange Theory
- Doing just the bare minimum to avoid complaints.
Research on Motivations for Justice
- Pritchard et al. (1972): Overpaid students worked harder to justify extra pay.
- Walster et al. (1978): Overpaid individuals worked harder to justify high pay.
- Schmitt & Marwell (1972): Overpaid may leave to earn fair pay
Scope of Justice
- It's a psychological boundary; who's entitled to fairness?
- Individuals within the scope are treated with fairness.
- People outside the scope often face harm.
- Similarity and perceived utility of the person/group are factors.
- Context like war/conflict narrows the scope; family prioritized over strangers in scarcity.
Types of Justice
Procedural Justice
- Concerned with how decisions are made (fairness of processes used).
- Key factors include consistency, bias suppression, accuracy, correctability, representativeness, ethicality.
Interactional Justice
- Focuses on interpersonal treatment during decision-making, evaluating truthfulness, justification, and respect.
Distributive Justice
- Concerns fair allocation of resources.
- Three main principles:Equity, equality, and need.
Distribution Theories
- Relative Deprivation Theory: Compares outcomes between individuals.
- Equity Theory: Fairness of input (effort) and output (reward).
- Updated Equity Theory analyzes how fairness are distributed using principles like Equity, equality , and need.
Research on Justice
- Leung & Bond (1984): Chinese participants preferred equal/equity-based distributions.
- Törnblom et al. (1985): Swedes preferred equality; Americans, equity.
Retributive Justice
- The theory that punishments should be proportional to the crime.
Procedural Justice vs. Distributive Justice
- Alexander & Ruderman (1987): Procedural justice is strongly related to job satisfaction.
- Colquitt et al. (2001): Procedural justice is a stronger predictor of job satisfaction, commitment
Group Engagement Model
- Explores how group identity influences extra-role behaviors (going beyond basic job requirements).
- Social identity and perceived fairness (processes and economic outcomes) influence extra-role behaviors, especially when group identification is strong.
