The preparation of this volume began with a conference held at
Trier University, approximately thirty years after the publication
of the first Belief in a Just World (BJW) manuscript. The location
of the conference was especially appropriate given the continued
interest that the Trier faculty and students had for BJW research
and theory. As several chapters in this volume document, their
research together with the other contributors to this volume have
added to the current sophistication and status of the BJW
construct. In the 1960s and 1970s Melvin Lerner, together with his
students and colleagues, developed his justice motive theory. The
theory of Belief in a Just World (BJW) was part of that effort. BJW
theory, meanwhile in its thirties, has become very influential in
social and behavioral sciences. As with every widely applied
concept and theory there is a natural develop mental history that
involves transformations, differentiation of facets, and efforts to
identify further theoretical relationships. And, of course, that
growth process will not end unless the theory ceases to develop. In
this volume this growth is reconstructed along Furnham's stage
model for the development of scientific concepts. The main part of
the book is devoted to current trends in theory and research."
