The illusion of distributive justice

The illusion of distributive justice AbstractThe paper deals with the perception of social inequalities and their consequences for illusory judgments on distributive justice. Drawing on several empirical studies on subjective social hierarchy scaling, the major part of the article is concerned with regularities in the perceptual basis of justice evaluations. In particular, it is demonstrated that the perception of social status and reward hierarchies are relative to the location an observer occupies within these hierarchies. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png European Sociological Review Oxford University Press
