청소년의 정당한 세상에 대한 믿음 척도 타당화

초록

This study was to validate the belief in a just world scale(BJWS) for adolescents. Three hundreds and ninety-nine high school students in Seoul, Korea, were participated in this study. The confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that the BJWS formed the two factors(i.e., Personal belief, and General belief) with 11 items in satisfactory model fit indices. Convergent validity was supported through correlations among two factors of the BJW, self-esteem, neuroticism, and the experience of parent justice. Moreover, personal just world belief significantly predicted self-esteem, neuroticism, and parent justice experience. This pattern of results persisted when general just world belief effect were controlled. Overall, these results in this study supported the validity of the BJWS, and it was expected that the BJWS could be utilized to measure the belief in a just world for adolescents in educational context.
