Preferred term

just world hypothesis  

Definition(s)

  • Definition The just-world hypothesis is the belief that, in general, the social environment is fair, such that people get what they deserve. The concept was developed in part to help explain observations that to preserve a belief that the world is a just place, people will sometimes devalue a victim. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Psychology; Just-World Hypothesis]
