Effect Of Fair Sensitivity To Injustice Of Information Processing

This study aims to investigate applicability of the justice sensitivity questionnaire includingfour subscales-victim sensitivity, observer sensitivity, beneficiary sensitivity, and perpetratorsensitivity, and then discusses the effects of the observer sensitivity to injustice informationprocessing.The first part of the study is to examine the applicability of the justice sensitivityquestionnaire published from Schmitt et al (2010). First four psychology graduate students andtwo English translated the questionnaire and integrated them to a complete synthesis Chinesequestionnaire, then audited it by an associate professor of psychology. Some of the collegestudents were randomly selected for this survey, using confirmatory factor to analyze constructvalidity of the questionnaire and using Cronbach α coefficient calculated reliability each subscale.The second part is to discuss the impact of the justice sensitivity to the attention, interpretation andmemory processing of injustice information, which contains three sub-studies: Study1was themain trial to test two different movie clip, the research group watching the injustice clip, and thereference group watched neutral clips, then used E-prime2.0software to present a visual detectiontask. In this task, first computer present word pairs on the screen, showing500millisecondsbefore the disappearance, then the position in which a word presented on a vertical line,participants were asked to judge the line of the original word to the left or right; In study2participants watched the same movie clips as the study1first, and then watch the injusticeassociated with fuzzy clips, finally the subjects were asked to make a clip for the second fuzzyevaluation of fairness; Study3main trial prepare the four articles, two injustice and three neutral,after finished reading each article, participants must complete a distraction task, and then wereasked to judge five sentences whether from the article they just read.Confirmatory factor analysis of the results, justice sensitivity questionnaire is composed offour interrelated components factor model-data fit indices were χ2/df=4.679, NNFI=0.91, CFI=0.92, RMSEA=0.093, indicates justice sensitivity questionnaire can be used for subsequentstudies, so we can put Justice Sensitivity Scale to use for the further study. Second, study1alsoshows that clip×justice sensitivity has a significant interaction, b=-0.58， t=-2.15,p=0.04,participants after watching the movie clip about injustice, compared with the low, persons high injustice sensitivity pay more strongly attention to the injustice information than to the negativelycontrol stimulus, and study2shows that same as study1, b=0.52,t=2.62,p=0.01,after watchinginjustice information, they interpreted ambiguous information more unfair than persons low injustice sensitivity. Finally, study3shows that justice sensitivity d’ and injustice articles d’ hassignificant positive correlation (（r=.52，p﹤.01)they also represented the recognition of unfairinformation advantage.
