Measuring Perceived Justice of Disaster Relief Policy.

The perceived justice on public policy is an important dimension of policy evaluation. In this paper, the authors base their study on the literature review and propose a multi-dimensional instrument to measure the perceived justice of disaster relief policy, and accordingly develops a scale. With the scale, data were collected from the Yushu Earthquake area on August, 2010. Statistical analysis shows that the proposed scale has 5 dimensions, with satisfactory reliability and validity. The paper also discusses briefly how to understand and use the perceived justice of disaster relief policy, and puts forward directions for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
