Macrojustice and just-world belief in conflict management

本研究探讨了感知到的宏观正义和对公正世界的信念对公民对地方政府与当地居民之间建设冲突的解释的影响。我们假设公民的意见和偏好，以及相关各方的意见和偏好，在与建设有关的冲突中起着关键作用。特别是，我们预计公民对相关各方（如当地政府或当地居民）的潜在利益的看法将决定他们对公共工程项目的态度，并随后影响当地政府与当地居民之间冲突的后果。这一假设通过两个在线调查进行了调查，并得到了部分支持。

The present research explored the effects of both perceived macrojustice and the belief in a just world on citizens' construal of conflicts pertaining to construction between local governments and local residents. We assumed that citizens' opinions and preferences, as well as those of the involved parties, play a critical role in conflicts pertaining to construction. In particular, we expected that citizens' perceptions of the underlying interests of the parties involved, such as the local government or local residents, would determine their attitudes toward public works projects and subsequently influence the consequences of conflicts between the local government and local residents. This hypothesis was investigated by using two online surveys and was partially supported.
