520 |a As Deconchy (this issue) recognizes, belief in a just world appears as a funda- mental principle in people's efforts to organize their important experiences. Earlier observational and experimentally based evidence suggested that the theme of justice plays a central role in human activities and is capable of legitimizing, even requiring the sacrifice of other societal values, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Subsequent research confirmed the presence and functioning of heroic themes in people's lives-themes designed to provide security in the face of inevitable failures and suffering.
