Abstract

There has been a lot of research on justice sensitivity in psychology abroad, but it has just begun in China. 392 students from universities in Nanjing and Shanghai were measured by the Justice Sensitivity Inventory and the Self-report Altruism Scale. The results were as follows: (1) The level of justice sensitivity is relatively high, especially the perpetrator sensitivity and beneficiary sensitivity;(2)There are significant differences of gender, age, major, academic performance, appearance and family economic status in justice sensitivity;(3)Justice sensitivity is significantly related to altruism, the perpetrator sensitivity and the total score of justice sensitivity also positively predict altruism while the victim sensitivity negatively forecasts it. The finding’s implications of psychology and policy were discussed, with emphasis on the reasons that there are many grouping differences in the justice sensitivity.
