Abstract: ENRIGHT, ROBERT D.; BJERSTEDT, AKE; ENRIGHT, WILLIAM F.; LEVY, VICTOR M., JR.; LAPSLEY, DANIEL K.; Buss, RAY R.; HARWELL, MICHAEL; and ZINDLER, MONICA. Distributive Justice Development: Cross-cultural, Contextual, and Longitudinal Evaluations. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1984, 55, 1737-1751. The development of distributive justice was examined with the Distributive Justice Scale (DJS) in 3 studies. In Study 1, 176 children, ages 7, 9, and 11, from Sweden and the United States were given the DJS and 2 Piagetian logical reasoning tasks. Significant age trends in DJS scores and the relation with logical reasoning were comparable in the 2 cultures. In Study 2, 75 5and 7-year-old children were given the standard peer DJS and a comparable family DJS to assess reasoning in different contexts. Family stimuli elicited higher levels of reasoning than peer stimuli. In Study 3, 84 6and 9-year-old children were administered the DJS twice at 1-year intervals. Age trends with no cohort biases were found. Implications for distributive justice research are drawn.
