Abstract
The purpose of the study was to factor analyze responses by 196 students to the ‘Just World Scale’ by Rubin and Peplau. It was hypothesized that the perception of justice as measured by this scale is a unitary trait. For subsamples of 45 subjects of the sample correlations of subjects' scores on this scale and scores on Eysenck Personality Inventory, Stewart Personality Inventory, Machiavellian Scale IV, and Bell's Adjustment Inventory are reported and discussed to gain further insight into the content and essential construct of the Just World Scale. The results confirmed the hypothesis.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
