Expanding our Vocabulary - the Just World Hypothesis

Expanding our Vocabulary – The Just World Hypothesis

We often have underlying beliefs that the world is in balance, that good will be rewarded and bad will be punished.  This is pervasive in our societal outlook, but it may be a cognitive bias.
