Several recent studies have questioned whether nonoutcome forms of fairness matter in decision-making situations where individuals feel strongly engaged by the issue at hand. This survey-based study focuses on perceptions about a decision-making process related to a proposal to expand a nuclear power plant in the U.S. Southeast. It finds that anger moderates the impacts of outcome and procedural fairness on willingness to accept a decision process as satisfactory and legitimate. The more anger a person said he or she would feel if a decision were to contradict that person's point of view, the more perceived outcome and procedural fairness mattered. The study also finds that interpersonal fairness is also moderated by anger, but in the opposite direction. Interpersonal fairness had less of an impact on willingness to accept a decision for those who said they would feel angry if the decision did not go their preferred way.
最近的几项研究质疑，在个人强烈关注手头问题的决策情况下，非结果公平形式是否重要。这项基于调查的研究关注的是对与美国东南部扩建核电站提议相关的决策过程的看法。研究发现，愤怒会调节结果公平和程序公平对接受决策过程作为满意和合法的意愿的影响。一个人表示，如果一个决定与他或她的观点相矛盾，他或她会感到多么愤怒，那么结果和程序公平的感知就越重要。该研究还发现，人际公平也受到愤怒的调节，但方向相反。对于那些表示如果决定不按照他们喜欢的方式进行，他们会感到愤怒的人来说，人际公平对接受决策的影响较小。
