Journal of Personality and Social Psychology; Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 91(4), 686.Conclusion:
(A 50-word quick summary from my understanding)
People's motivational orientations (approach or avoidance) stimulate their fairness-based reactions to voice procedures. In particular people's procedural justice judgments are more sensitive to granting vs. denial of voice when they are in approach-motivational state. As such, hedonic principle is an important principle in the psychology of procedural justice. Quick Notes/queries:
(For my further delving)
- What would be the sensitivity to voice procedures in loss-framed context (for ex: job layoff decisions instead of financial bonus)?
- What would be the relation between motivational orientations and sensitivity to other elements of procedural justice?
- What would be sensitivity to voice procedures when the decision has serious implications for the individual (whether in gain or loss framed context)?
