警察合法性的程序正义理论尚未充分考虑法律犬儒主义的潜在影响。本研究检验了犬儒主义在正义-合法性关系中的中介作用假设。结构方程模型的结果支持部分中介作用。程序正义大大减少了犬儒主义，而犬儒主义的减少则促进了合法性。犬儒主义应该被纳入程序正义的理论和相关的实证检验。对警察政策的影响包括以程序为基础的公平在帮助促进不仅对警察而且对整个社会的积极态度方面发挥的重要作用。
The procedural justice theory of police legitimacy has yet to fully consider the potential impacts of legal cynicism. The present study tests the hypothesis that cynicism mediates the justice–legitimacy relationship. Results of structural equation models support partial mediation. Procedural justice significantly reduced cynicism, while declines in cynicism promoted legitimacy. Cynicism should be incorporated into the theory of procedural justice and related empirical tests. Implications for police policy include the important role that process-based fairness plays in helping promote positive attitudes not merely toward police but toward society in general.
