Effect of Personal Injustice on Attributions for the Success of Others
نویسندگان
چکیده
The current research tested competing predictions on whether the experience of personal injustice would increase or decrease internal attributions of others’ success. Compared with the control condition, Study 1 found that individuals gave less credit to another person for his promotion after they recalled their own unfair experience. Study 2 revealed that personal injustice led weak just-world believers, but not strong just-world believers, to perceive a lottery winner to be less deserving. Study 3 showed that these effects were mediated by resentment. The findings demonstrate that thinking about one’s own injustice can lead to a more cynical outlook on others’ positive outcomes.
