Donation-based crowdfunding platforms have an increasing number of campaigns on socially stigmatized topics. These platforms’ widespread online reachability and the large flow of monetary donations have the potential to shape individuals’ opinions by influencing their perceptions. However, little research has been done to investigate whether these campaigns impact individuals’ opinions and how....

Our study challenges the consensus that perceptions of overall fairness are driven solely by adherence to justice rules—that ‘‘what seems fair” depends solely on ‘‘what seems just.” Building on emerging theorizing on incidental affect and fairness appraisals, we argue that charismatic qualities of supervisors can predict employee perceptions of overall fairness, even when controlling for superv...

In this paper we consider the notions of global-fairness (G-fairness) and bounded-fairness (B-fairness) for arbitrary Petri nets (PNs). G-fairness in a PN guarantees every transition occurs infinitely often in every valid firing sequence of infinite length. B-fairness guarantees a bound on the number of times a transition in the PN can fire without some transition firing at least once. These pr...

Fairness is an important concept in design and implementation of distributed systems. At the specification level, fairness usually serves as an assumption for proving liveness. At implementation level, the question becomes how to implement the underlying fairness which is assumed to be true at the specification level. In this paper, we study four types of fairness, the so-called w-fairness (wea...

This experimental study investigates how behavior changes after punishment for an unkind action. It also studies how fairness perceptions affect the reaction to punishment and whether this effect is consistent across repeated play and role experiences. A repeated version of the power-to-take game is used. In this game, the proposer can make a claim on the resources of a responder. Then, the res...

Lack of trust is identified as one of the main constraints on online environments, particularly in terms of consumer protection. Although the elements that contribute to building trust can be identified in broad terms, there are still many uncertainties in defining and establishing trust in online environments. This paper investigates these uncertainties by studying the relationship between tru...

in World Health Report 2000 ranked the Italian health care system second among 191 countries (France was first) with respect to health status, fairness in financial contribution, and responsiveness to people’s expectations of the health system.1 The U.S. health care system, which spends more per person on health care than any other country, was ranked 37th, last among industrialized countries.1...

This chapter reviews the measurement approaches used in the justice literature. We begin by describing fundamental issues involved in constructing measures, such as item content, focus, context, and experience bracketing. We then introduce a 2 x 2 taxonomy wherein measurement approaches are distinguished by (a) whether they emphasize more descriptive perceptions of justice rule adherence or mor...
