The Fair Process Effect Summary

The Fair Process Effect: Overcoming Distrust, Polarization, and Conspiracy Thinking by Kees van den Bos (Utrecht University)

The Fair Process Effect aims to shed light on why there are so many instances of distrust, polarization, and conspiracy thinking in our world and what we can do about this. The book focuses on the fair process effect as a mechanism that may help to start overcoming these important issues of societal discontent. This is a positive effect that people exhibit when they have been treated in genuinely fair and just ways by fellow human beings and societal authorities. Current insights presented in the book aid the understanding of why people may experience discontent, distrust, and disillusionment. Furthermore, these insights can be used to start countering exaggerated levels of distrust, heightened polarization, and unfounded conspiracy thinking. To this end, Van den Bos develops a coherent and modern account of the fair process effect, targeted at understanding and managing these pertinent issues.

The Fair Process Effect Reviews

'As one of the world's most important scientific contributors to the study of fair processes throughout his career, Kees van den Bos covers the literature comprehensively. In this book, he uses his encyclopedic knowledge to define and operationalize the research on perceived procedural justice as applied to societal discontent, polarization, conspiracy thinking, and the prevention of unwarranted distrust. It is an extraordinary accomplishment.' Robert Folger, University of Central Florida, USA
'Brilliant!Written by one of the pre-eminent scholars in the field of social justice, this clear and cogent presentation of research, theory, and application of the fair process effect - a remarkably powerful social psychological phenomenon - is a 'must read' for social psychologists, sociologists, political scientists, legal scholars, and policy makers.' Allan Lind, Duke University, USA
'Scholars and practitioners in management and law recognize the value of building rules and institutions around the psychological principles of the fair process effect. This deeply researched, compellingly written and engagingly optimistic book highlights the benefits of using this same model to address the political issues of polarization, distrust, and conspiracy thinking.' Tom Tyler, Yale University, USA
