This study was done to determine the amount of justice-related behavioral variance which could be attributed to fairness-reasoning and three predictor human values, wisdom, equality, and a world at peace. 171 graduate students were invited to attend three justice-related events as part of their institutional program. One month later they provided Rokeach Survey of Values and Rest's Defining Issues Test data under an unrelated context. Analysis indicated level of fairness-reasoning was a significant predictor of justice-related behavior as was one of the expected values, wisdom. Level of fairness-reasoning and a post hoc predictor value together accounted for 20% of the behavioral variance while fairness-reasoning alone accounted for 5%. An expectancy-valence model of motivated behavior offered greater potential for prediction of behavioral variance from moral-judgment reasoning and content of values
