อิทธิพลของความเชื่อว่าโลกมีความยุติธรรมและความเชื่อในกฎแห่งกรรม ที่ส่งผลต่อการตัดสินด้านจริยธรรม

This paper addresses the influence of belief in a just world and belief in karma on moral judgment by examining situations with the following conditions: 1) the protagonist’s fate (bad or absent); and 2) moral situation (one out of six) based on moral foundations theory. Online questionaires were collected from 360 undergraduates, aged between 18 to 25. The results found no effects of belief in karma. Meanwhile, the effects of belief in a just world on behavioral aspects of moral judgments emerged as significant only in three types of moral situations: positive effects on the fairness/cheating (h aving a forbidden affair with someone other than spouse), negative effects on the loyalty/betrayal (giving confidential information a b o u t thei r own company to a competitor) and the liberty/oppression (convincing the lover to change his religious belief). The participants also accepted moral violations to a greater extent in the liberty/oppression situation than in others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
