In response to the international turmoil, violence, and
increasing ideological polarization, social psychological interest
in the topics of legitimacy and social justice has blossomed
considerably. Social psychologists have explored the psychological
underpinnings of people s reactions to injustice and illegitimacy,
including the behavioral and psychological consequences of the
motivation to view individual outcomes and governmental systems as
just and legitimate.
Although injustice and illegitimacy are clearly related at
conceptual and theoretical levels, these two rich literatures are
rarely integrated. Social justice researchers have focused on how
people make sense of particular instances of injustice, whereas
legitimacy researchers have tended to focus primarily on people s
reactions to unfair systems of intergroup relations.
This 11th volume of the Ontario Symposium series brings together
the work of leading researchers in fields of social justice and
legitimacy to facilitate the cross-pollination and integration of
these fields. The contributions address broad theoretical issues
and cutting-edge empirical advances, while illustrating the
diversity and richness of research in the two fields. By uniting
these two domains, this volume will stimulate new directions in
theory and research that seek to explain how and why people make
sense of injustice at all levels of analysis.
