Domain-specific¶
- Just-World Hypothesis
- Social and clinical psychology — the home turf: victim-blaming in rape, intimate-partner violence, child-abuse, and chronic-illness contexts, and internalized self-blame in survivors that trauma therapy must address. Criminal-justice psychology — jury research where just-world belief modulates rape-trial verdicts, sentencing recommendations, and perceived victim credibility. Health psychology — blaming cancer patients, the obese, or addicts for their conditions, the threat of undeserved illness discharged by attributing fault. Political psychology and inequality research — belief-in-a-just-world as a robust predictor of opposition to welfare, support for harsh punishment, and attribution of poverty to individual rather than structural causes.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
