Is Inequality Unjust? Evaluating Women's Career Chances

Author(s) / Creator(s)

Montada, Leo

Abstract / Description

The motivational bases for frequently biased evaluations of women's career chances are investigated. Thestudy focuses on the belief in a just world : « everybody gets what he/she deserves and everybody deserves what he/she gets ». The results indicated that belief in a just world is one of the most important predictors of rated injustice of objective inequalities in careers between men and women. This is true for male and female respondents (N = 152, 65 % women). The findings are congruent with the just world theory and support the hypothesis that persons' positions on gender-related differences in career situations represent biased evaluations motivated by the belief in a just world.
