Abstract: We developed English-language measures of effort-based and valence-based belief in a just world (EBJW, VBJW) using two U.S. samples (n = 311, 276; 51% women). Reliabilities: α = .92, .96 (EBJW, VBJW). EBJW predicted hard work and internal locus of control; VBJW predicted prosocial behavior, beyond general just-world belief.
