Belief in a just world or belief in just others? a study on the object of belief in a just world

These findings demonstrate that belief in a just world influences decision-making when interacting with human players but not with computer players, supporting our hypothesis that belief in a just world mainly targets human-sourced uncertainty but not nature-sourced uncertainty. This research advances our theoretical understanding of belief in a just world and contributes to our understanding of its functions for both individuals and society.
