BASP2008 De Cremer Sedikides
This article (Basic and Applied Social Psychology, 2008) by David De Cremer and Constantine Sedikides examines whether procedural fairness (operationalized as voice vs. no-voice) communicates information about individuals’ reputation and how that reputational information affects personal and relational self-esteem. Across four studies (Study 1: N=77; Study 2: N=181; Study 3: N=69; Study 4: N=44), the authors found (a) procedures have reputational implications (Study 1), (b) concern for reputation moderates the effect of procedural fairness on personal self-esteem (Studies 2–3: stronger effects for high reputational concern), and (c) violations of procedural fairness reduce relational self-esteem more for positive-reputation than negative-reputation individuals (Study 4).
