Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The just world hypothesis suggests that the world is fair, and people generally get what they deserve. Individuals who believe in this hypothesis tend to use internal attributions (i.e., attributing behavior to personal traits, qualities, or abilities) more frequently than external attributions (i.e., attributing behavior to situational factors). Therefore, increased use of internal attributions is indeed correlated with increased belief in the just world hypothesis.
