The Scarcity–Prosociality Link
The present essay examines the scarcity–prosociality link, that is, the conditions in which scarcity leads to self-interest and competitiveness or to other-oriented prosociality and cooperativeness. Adopting a social-psychological approach, the findings of the major investigations of reactions to scarcity are summarised. These studies show both self-interest and prosociality as reactions to scarcity, depending on various mediating factors, althou…
Social Exclusion, Mental Health, Disadvantage and Injustice
Social exclusion is a global multi-dimensional phenomenon that highlights the need for an extended inclusionary attitude in society. The present paper discusses some under-explored components of social exclusion. The major features of social exclusion as laid out in diverse approaches are described. The ways in which exclusion of the mentally ill and disabled, a relatively neglected group, differs from other forms of exclusion are examined. Atten…
Deity and Destiny
The current studies investigate whether different forms of fatalistic thinking follow from the Christian and Hindu cosmologies. The authors found that fatalistic interpretations of one's own life events center on deity influence for Christians, especially for those high in religiosity; however, Hindu interpretations of one's own life emphasized destiny as much as deity (Study 1). Also, the focus on fate over chance when explaining others' misfort…

Between merit, need and equality, subjects showed a clear equality orientation, in both allocation rule preference and perceived fairness of a given all…
Senior/Junior Recipient Status and Reward Allocation
This study examines senior/junior recipient status as a possible determinant of perceived fairness of given allocations and allocation preference. Considering status as a feature associated with the cultural dimension of power distance, female university students from India (a high power distance, relatively collectivistic culture) and Canada (a low power distance, individualistic culture) were compared with regard to perceived fairness and alloc…
