We examined the perception of deserved outcomes associated with religious fundamentalism (RF). Interviews with videotaped targets varied in target’s religiosity, responsibility, and outcome valence (good/bad). Participants either low (LF) or high (HF) on RF formulated an impression of how deserving a target was for a situational outcome. Participants low in RF held targets to be less deserving of a bad outcome than a good one; the HF group showed this to a lesser degree. HFs believed the target was more deserving of a bad outcome than did LFs, even when the target was not responsible for the outcome. Religious fundamentalism is related to attributing greater deservingness of bad outcomes, possibly because of a greater belief in a just world. jasp_808 2144..2164 Individuals can have strong reactions when evaluating the appropriateness of fit between another individual’s actions and the resulting consequences. Several factors have been identified as playing important roles in forming our reactions to the outcome of events. Feather (1999, 2006) demonstrated the role of deservingness in mediating reactions to others, depending on factors such as the valence of outcome, perceived responsibility, and the in-group/out-group status of the target being viewed. Feather (2006) demonstrated that a consistency principle exists such that a positively evaluated outcome following a target’s positively evaluated action is judged by an observer to be deserved (and conversely for negative actions and outcomes). For example, a student who works diligently to study for an exam would be seen, generally speaking, as deserving of a good grade. However, if the student received a poor grade, this would generate negative emotions in the perceiver, consistent with an unbalanced outcome. Judgments of deservingness often involve subjective biases based on characteristics of the perceiver and their interaction with target characteristics. If the observer perceives the target to be a member of his or her own in-group or to be of high moral character, there is a bias in favor of judging a positive outcome as more deserved and a negative outcome as less deserved (Feather, 1999).
