Abstract

In our multinational study, we tested the hypothesis that belief in a just world (BJW) enhances political trust by strengthening perceptions of political procedural justice. Based on data from the ninth round of the European Social Survey and various country-ranking indices, we found a positive relationship between BJW and political trust, with perceived procedural justice serving as an important mediator in this relationship. More importantly, our multilevel analysis indicated that the actual quality of procedural justice moderates this relationship in a way that BJW enhances perceived procedural justice and political trust indirectly to a greater extent in countries with more severe problems with political procedural justice. The results show that a negative context serves as a catalyzer for motivated perceptions, as BJW pushes perceptions in the direction of justice even more strongly in an unjust context, which, in turn, contributes to gratuitous political trust.

消极情境作为催化剂:对公正世界的信念通过感知程序正义来增强政治信任,而情境程序不公正则促进政治信任
在我们的跨国研究中,我们检验了对公正世界的信念(BJW)通过加强对政治程序正义的感知来增强政治信任的假设。基于第九轮欧洲社会调查和各种国家排名指数的数据,我们发现BJW与政治信任之间存在正相关关系,感知程序正义在这种关系中起着重要的中介作用。更重要的是,我们的多层次分析表明,程序正义的实际质量调节了这种关系,在政治程序正义问题更严重的国家,BJW在更大程度上间接增强了感知程序正义和政治信任。研究结果表明,负面环境是动机感知的催化剂,因为BJW在不公正的环境中更强烈地推动了正义方向的感知,这反过来又有助于无端的政治信任。
