Preface

This volume was conceived out of the concern with what the imminent future holds for the "have" countries ... those societies, such as the United States, which are based on complex technology and a high level of energy consumption. Even the most sanguine projection includes as base minimum relatively rapid and radical change in all aspects of the society, reflecting adaptation or reactions to demands created by poten­tial threat to the technological base, sources of energy, to the life-support system itself. Whatever the source of these threats-whether they are the result of politically endogeneous or exogeneous forces-they will elicit changes in our social institutions; changes resulting not only from attempts to adapt but also from unintended consequences of failures to adapt.

One reasonable assumption is that whatever the future holds for us, we would prefer to live in a world of minimal suffering with the greatest opportunity for fulfilling the human potential. The question then becomes one of how we can provide for these goals in that scenario for the imminent future ... a world of threat, change, need to adapt, diminishing access to that which has been familiar, comfortable, needed.

There is an answer to that question which has unexplored and potentially important ramifications. Social scientists have generated in­creasing documentation for the common observation that justice plays a singular and pervasive role in our culture. More specifically, they have shown that people can and do adapt successfully to changing circum­stances, including those of scarcity and diminishing access . . . if they perceive their lot to be fair and just. More recently, research has provided considerable evidence that judgments of fairness and justness are not simply reflections of the prevailing normative system, but rather are well-grounded in psychological structure and processes. The implica­tions of this are extremely relevant to the future, since the commitment to justice and the forms this commitment can take provide an as yet unexamined potential for creating the directions and the means for suc­cessful adaptation during times of change and scarcity.

x PREFACE

Although the contributors to this volume conceptualize the psy­chology of justice in various ways, they have all demonstrated amply in their previous work the extent to which the commitment to justice guides important social behaviors. In this volume, they focus their at­tention on the establishment of guidelines for effective and constructive solutions to the set of human problems with which we must soon deal.

Acknowledgments

In the latter part of August, 1978, just prior to the American Psychological Association annual meetings in Toronto, a unique and important event took place on the campus of the University of Waterloo. For three days and evenings, twelve social psychologists, a sociologist, and an anthro­pologist pooled their expertise-through formal presentations, critical analyses, and informal discussions-in pursuit of answers to this ques­tion: how can the human concern with justice provide opportunities for constructive responses to future social dilemmas which may involve scarcity of resources and rapid change? As it turned out, this occasion was unique in many respects, not the least of which is that never before or since has there been such a gathering for the purpose of exchanging ideas. The setting and the topic provided a marvellous opportunity for this group to generate important contributions to our understanding of justice and of ways to meet the challenges which face our society.

This volume is one outcome of that 1978 conference. Although the chapters in the volume differ to some extent from what took place that August, the impetus for the volume came from those meetings and many of the individual contributions were stimulated and shaped by the dialogues that took place in the meetings.

This is the occasion to express our gratitude to those who made that unique conference possible. The encouragement and support of our colleagues in the Department of Psychology and the Faculty of Envi­ronmental Studies helped generate the conviction that not only was such a conference desirable, but feasible as well. Certainly, without the grants from the University of Waterloo Research Grant Program and the De­partment of Psychology, this estimate of feasibility would not have been transformed into reality. In a less direct but equally essential fashion, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (File No. 41O-77-0601-X2) and the Ontario Ministry of Energy provided gen­erous support for the research which formed the conceptual background for much of this volume.
