The problem of vulnerable groups has seriously affected social stability and economic development,so it is of great practical significance to pay attention to the social situation and social adaptation of socially vulnerable groups.From a sociological perspective,the individual’s sense of justice can reflect the individual’s social situation,the level of prosocial behavior can reflect the degree of individual socialization.Hearing-impaired middle school students are part of the vulnerable groups,not only is it an important research object for special education,there has also got the attention of psychological and sociological gradually.Therefore,to study the influence of justice/injustice situation on the prosocial behaviour of hearing-impaired middle school students has a strong educational value and social value.According to literature review,it is observed that previous studies on justice and prosocial behavior existed two deficiencies: on the one hand,the number of studies for hearing-impaired middle school students is small;on the other hand,there is a lack of relevant research on these two factors.In addition,the theory and research on prosocial behavior cannot explain some social phenomena.Maybe the previous studies have neglected certain variables,so the applicability of the research results was limited.The BJW not only affects individual`s justice judgement,but also have an effect on prosocial behavior.According to related research,this study assumes that,in the justice/injustice situation and prosocial relations of hearing impaired middle school students,the belief in a just world(BJW)will play a moderating role.In different types of prosocial behavior,the role of the moderating variable is different.Based on the theoretical foundation and measurement tools of the BJW,this study determines the dimensions and the items of the self-compiled scale,and then tests and statistically analyzes the initial questionnaire according to interviews with hearingimpaired middle school students and modified opinions of special education experts and teachers.Finally,a “Questionnaire about the BJW for Hearing-impaired Middle School Students” was formed.Selected 475 hearing-impaired middle school students from Guangdong Province,Hebei Province,Jiangxi Province,Shanxi Province,Anhui Province,Guizhou Province,Sichuan Province as valid subjects,and analyze valid data to explore the moderating role of hearing-impaired middle school students’ BJW in the relationship between justice/injustice situation and prosocial behaviors.The findings are as follows:(1)The “Questionnaire about the BJW for Hearing-impaired Middle School Students” compiled by this study contains four dimensions: intrinsic justice,reciprocation justice,ultimate justice,and opportunity justice,totally 15 items.After inspection,this questionnaire have good reliability and validity,meeting the requirements of pedagogy and psychometrics,it is suitable as a survey tool to study the BJW of students with hearing impairment.(2)The BJW of hearing-impaired middle school students are at an intermediate level as a whole.Among the four dimensions,the scores from high to low are:opportunity justice> reciprocation justice>intrinsic justice> ultimate justice.(3)The BJW of hearing-impaired middle school students have significant differences in demographic variables such as gender,grade,family residence,family structure,and what correction measures are taken.The difference in demographic variables such as whether they are only children,degree of hearing loss and the causes of hearing impairment are not significant.(4)The justice/injustice situation has a significant positive predictive effect on the prosocial behaviors of hearing-impaired middle school students.The BJW of hearingimpaired middle school students play a moderating role in the relationship between justice/injustice and helping behaviors,there was no moderating effect in the relationship between situation characteristics and sharing behaviors,as well as the relationship between situation characteristics and cooperating behavior.
