ABSTRACT
A considerable body of evidence in general and social psychology strongly supports the argument that the perception and evaluation of an object or phenomenon varies across individuals. Similarly, the evaluation of whether or not something is just seems to depend on certain psychosocial characteristics of the evaluating person. A good deal of attention has been devoted in the literature to the way judgments of justice in interpersonal relations are affected by an evaluator's age, sex, social background, status, occupational role, level of moral development or personality variables, such as the need of social approval or achivement, public versus private self-consciousness, or acceptance of Protestant ethics.
