Relational fairness and collective justice stem from distinct self-concepts

Evidence

Given the theoretical distinction between relational versus collective motives associated with people’s relational versus collective selves (Brewer & Chen, 2007; Brewer & Gardner, 1996; Sedikides & Brewer, 2001: Yuki, Chapter 12, this volume), it is important that procedural justice researchers differentiate fairness derived from relational concerns from justice emanating from collective/group concerns. — Roderick M.
