The just-world-belief ( English just-world hypothesis ) describes a generalized expectation that the world is fundamentally just and that people get what they are entitled to in life.

Methods have been developed to measure the just-world belief as a personality trait.

The belief in a just world is of possible importance for dealing with the consequences of accidents. It seems important whether the victim regards the accident as a fair or unfair fate and whether negative emotions prevail (in the sense of “the victim struggles with his fate”). The Just World Faith can be an important personal resource in dealing with critical life events. Another example is coping with unemployment.
