公正世界理论提供了一个可能的解释，即相信一个公正的世界应该会导致对“赢家”的积极偏见，例如外表有吸引力的人。从这个前提中得出的几个假设进行了测试，让成年人完成公正世界量表，并对一个有吸引力或没有吸引力的刺激者的人格特质和预期生活结果进行评级。人格特质评级的预测证实了男性，但不是女性刺激的人：（a）在一个公正的世界里，信徒认为有吸引力的，男性刺激的人的个性比非信徒更受社会欢迎，也归因于更受社会欢迎的个性男性刺激的人谁是有吸引力的，而不是没有吸引力的;（B）没有影响被发现为女性刺激的人。对生活结果评级的预测以及人格与生活结果评级之间的相关性差异作为对公正世界的信仰的函数得到了明确的支持。公正世界理论，地位特征理论和身体吸引力的刻板印象的影响进行了讨论。
Just-world theory provides a possible explanation of physical attractiveness stereotyping, in that believing in a just world should lead to a positive bias toward “winners,” such as the physically attractive. Several hypotheses derived from this premise were tested by having adults complete the Just World Scale and rate the personality traits and expected life outcomes of an attractive or unattractive stimulus person. Predictions for the personality trait ratings were borne out for male but not for female stimulus persons:(a) Believers in a just world perceived the personalities of attractive, male stimulus persons as more socially desirable than nonbelievers and also attributed more socially desirable personalities to male stimulus persons who were attractive rather than unattractive; and (b) no effects were found for female stimulus persons. Predictions for the life-outcome ratings and differences in correlations between personality and life-outcome ratings as a function of belief in a just world were clearly supported. Implications for just-world theory, status-characteristics theory, and physical attractiveness stereotyping are discussed.
