最近的研究区分了对自我（BJW-self）和他人（BJW-others）公正世界的信念，表明BJW-self与主观幸福感有关，而BJW-others与严酷的社会态度有关。本研究考察了这两种公正世界信念对未来动机和构想方面的影响。100名生活在辅助住所的英国年轻人完成了bjw自我、bjw他人、生活满意度和从事犯罪行为的意图的测量。他们还列出了他们的个人目标，并表明了他们实现这些目标的信心。在偏相关和层次回归分析中，BJW-self预测目标实现的信心，但与犯罪意图呈负相关。相比之下，BJW-others与犯罪意图直接相关，但与实现社会合法个人目标的信心呈负相关。这些结果不能归因于生活满意度的变化或参与者目标的可实现性。
Recent research distinguishes the belief in a just-world for the self (BJW-self) from that for others (BJW-others), showing BJW-self to be associated with subjective well-being and BJW-others to be associated with harsh social attitudes. The present research examines the implications of these two types of just-world belief for aspects of motivation and ideation about the future. A sample of 100 young British adults living in assisted accommodation completed measures of BJW-self, BJW-others, life satisfaction and intention to engage in delinquent behaviour. They also listed their personal goals and indicated their confidence that they would attain them. In partial correlation and hierarchical regression analyses, BJW-self predicted confidence in the realization of goals, but was inversely related to delinquent intentions. In contrast, BJW-others was directly related to delinquent intentions but inversely related to confidence in achieving socially legitimate personal goals. These results were not attributable to variations in life satisfaction or in the achievability of participants' goals.
