Decades of research demonstrate that the extent to which one believes the world is just can have important interpersonal consequences. Unfortunately, most of the commonly studied consequences are negative in nature. Guided by previous research demonstrating the buffering effect of just-world beliefs and anger, the present research explores how belief in a just world (BJW) may mitigate anger in the domain of driving anger and examines the limiting conditions of this effect. Study 1 demonstrated the expected negative relation between common measures of BJW and anger expression in a driving context. Study 2 found that the buffering effects of just-world beliefs and driver aggression were greater when BJW was violated (vs. not). Study 3 replicated the effects on aggression and anger and established a mediational role of anger on the buffering effects of just-world beliefs on thoughts and driver aggression.
几十年来的研究表明，一个人相信世界是否公正会对人际关系产生重要影响。不幸的是，大多数已研究过的后果在本质上都是负面的。本研究以先前的研究为指导，这些研究表明公正世界信念和愤怒的缓冲效应，并探讨了公正世界信念在驾驶愤怒领域中的影响及其限制条件。研究 1 表明，在驾驶情境中，常见的公正世界信念测量与愤怒表达之间存在预期的负相关关系。研究 2 发现，当公正世界信念被违反时（而非没有违反时），公正世界信念和驾驶员攻击性的缓冲效应更大。研究 3 复制了对攻击性和愤怒的影响，并确立了愤怒在公正世界信念对思想和驾驶员攻击性的缓冲效应中的中介作用。
