title: Religiosity and sphere-specific just world beliefs in 16- to 18-year-olds.
abstract: One hundred forty-three (31 female and 112 male) English school pupils, 16 to 18 years old, completed the Francis Scale of Attitudes towards Christianity (FSAC; Francis & Stubbs, 1987), the Global Belief in a Just World Scale (GBJWS; Lipkus, 1991), and the Multidimensional Belief in a Just World Scale (MBJWS; Furnham & Procter, 1992). The MBJWS yields three subscale scores: Sociopolitical Just World Beliefs (SJW), Interpersonal Just World Beliefs (IJW), and Personal Just World Beliefs (PJW). Scores on the FSAC were not associated with scores on the GBJWS, the SJW, or the IJW, but they were positively associated, albeit weakly, with scores on the PJW.
