This dissertation addresses human decision making in justice-related contexts.

Further, individual difference measures (justice sensitivity) help to distentangle stable and fragile fairness concerns of individuals. The results shed light on why and when people behave fair and discusses boundary conditions.Sebastian Lotz is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Cologne.
