Abstract

In this study, we utilized reliability generalization procedures to examine internal consistency estimates across 3 scales measuring the belief in a just world. The distribution of reliability estimates for the measures suggest low to moderate ranges of internal consistency reliability coefficients. The Global Belief in a Just World Scale (CitationLipkus, 1991) produced the highest average reliability score (α = .81) compared to the Just World Scale (CitationRubin & Peplau, 1973; α = .64) and the Just World Scale Revised (CitationRubin & Peplau, 1975; α = .68).
