Psychological Perspectives on Justice Theory and Applications

This compelling book explores how the distribution of costs and benefits determine our intuition about fairness and why individual behaviour sometimes deviates from normative theories of justice. The chapters cover many topics including why people conform to rules; liberal values versus conservative values; and the allocation of scarce resources by government and society. This mixture provides a balanced look at the psychology of justice.Mellers, Barbara A. is the author of 'Psychological Perspectives on Justice Theory and Applications' with ISBN 9780521431996 and ISBN 0521431999.
