Abstract
This paper reports the results of a study to identify empirically the nature and correlates of the Just World Belief among Taiwanese college students. Data were collected from over 1,000 students enrolled in two major Taiwanese universities. Similar to Western findings, the average Just World Scale score fell almost exactly at the midpoint of the acceptance-rejection attitudinal continuum. Also similar to Western findings were strong correlations between belief scores and scores on work ethic and alienation scales. In contrast to many Western studies, weak correlations were found for belief scores with authoritarianism, sex, religiosity, subjective social class location, and parents' education. Cross-cultural measurement problems and interpretations are also presented.
