公正世界信念对第三方惩罚的影响：一项三水平元分析
The effects of belief in a just world on third-party punishment: A three-level meta-analysis
摘要
路见不平，拔刀相助？公正世界信念能否促进第三方惩罚在理论假设和实证研究中仍存在分歧。为厘清这一争议，本研究采用三水平元分析方法系统探讨了公正世界信念与第三方惩罚的关系及其调节因素。通过文献检索与筛选，获得46篇文献和93个效应量，共包含15772名被试。结果发现，公正世界信念与第三方惩罚之间存在显著但微弱的正相关(r = 0.08, 95% CI = [0.03, 0.14])。二者关系受公正世界信念的自我−他人维度、第三方惩罚行为形式(社会惩罚 vs. 金钱惩罚)、文化背景、违规情境以及样本类型的调节，但不受性别、年龄群体、公正世界信念的外显−内隐维度、第三方惩罚类型(惩罚行为 vs. 惩罚意愿)以及研究方法类型的调节。本研究基于第三方惩罚视角系统检验了公正世界信念理论的竞争性假设及其适用条件，为后续理论发展与实证研究提供了启示。
Abstract
See injustice and draw your sword against it. Since its proposal, the just world theory has focused on the phenomenon, yet its theoretical hypotheses and empirical findings remain inconsistent. To resolve this controversy and uncover the reasons for the divergent results, we conducted a three-level meta-analysis to systematically examine the effects between belief in a just world and third-party punishment and the moderating variables in the relationship. Through literature search and screening, a total of 46 research papers with 93 effect sizes were included, and the total sample size was 15,772 participants. The main effect analyses revealed a significant but weak positive correlation between belief in a just world and third-party punishment (r = 0.08, 95% CI = [0.03, 0.14]). Moderator analyses indicated that the effect was moderated by the self-other dimension of BJW, the form of third-party punishment behavior (social punishment vs. material punishment), cultural background, the violation scenario and sample type but was not by observers' gender, observers' age group, the explicitimplicit dimension of BJW, the type of third-party punishment (punishment behavior vs. punishment willingness) and research method. These findings contribute to addressing the competing hypotheses of the just world theory and specifying its boundary conditions, offering valuable insights for future theoretical development and empirical research.关键词
