Factor analysis of Rubin and Peplau's belief in a Just World scale yielded three factors. The factors were named Deservingness, Denial of injustice, and Evaluate and act justly. Just World scores were generally unrelated to demographic data (such as socio-economic class, age, sex, family size, grade point average) among the undergraduate subjects. Belief in a just world was significantly related to greater interpersonal trust and internal locus of control. Greater belief in a just world was significantly related to less endorsement of New Left ideology, and less favorability toward the Attica uprising and President Nixon's impeachment. (Author)
