Abstract

A large body of research has examined the relationship between belief in a just world (BJW) and well-being. However, this research, and work on BJW more broadly, has predominantly employed experimental and cross-sectional methods, which may not adequately capture how BJW functions in daily life. To help address this, we considered how two forms of BJW—believing the world is just for the self (personal-BJW) and just for others (general-BJW)—relate to various aspects of well-being between persons in a cross-sectional study (N = 512) and, critically, within persons in a 2-week naturalistic daily diary study (N = 132; 1439 daily reports). Results revealed that both personal- and general-BJW varied between- and within-individuals. Moreover, personal-BJW was not only more robustly related to greater well-being than general-BJW at the between-person level, consistent with prior work, but also at the within-person level. Overall, our diary findings suggest that BJW fluctuates in daily life and that these fluctuations covary positively with well-being.

对公正世界和福祉的信念:每日日记视角
已有大量研究探讨了对公正世界的信念(BJW)与幸福感之间的关系。然而,这些研究以及更广泛意义上的 "公正世界信念 "研究主要采用实验和横断面方法,可能无法充分反映 "公正世界信念 "在日常生活中的作用。为了帮助解决这个问题,我们在一项横断面研究(N = 512)中考虑了两种形式的 BJW--相信世界只为自己(个人 BJW)和只为他人(一般 BJW)--如何与人与人之间的幸福感的各个方面相关联,更重要的是,在一项为期两周的自然主义每日日记研究(N = 132;1439 份每日报告)中考虑了人与人之间的幸福感的各个方面相关联。研究结果表明,在个体之间和个体内部,个人基本生活质量和一般基本生活质量都存在差异。此外,不仅在人与人之间,而且在人与人之间,个人-BJW 比一般-BJW 与更高幸福感的关系更密切,这与之前的研究结果一致。总之,我们的日记研究结果表明,北京时间在日常生活中会发生波动,而这些波动与幸福感呈正相关。

期刊介绍: Personality and Individual Differences is devoted to the publication of articles (experimental, theoretical, review) which aim to integrate as far as possible the major factors of personality with empirical paradigms from experimental, physiological, animal, clinical, educational, criminological or industrial psychology or to seek an explanation for the causes and major determinants of individual differences in concepts derived from these disciplines. The editors are concerned with both genetic and environmental causes, and they are particularly interested in possible interaction effects.
