Abstract
The psychometric properties of the Just World Scale developed by Rubin and Peplau in 1975 has been debated in the literature as some results are conflicting. The present investigation provides another look at its factor structure and the presumed relation between scores of young men and women. The two factors extracted accounted for 24.45% of the variance and matched Rubin and Peplau's factors of “Just” and “Unjust.” For total scores and factor scores no effects for sex were observed.Keywords
