中文摘要：

公正世界信念指人们需要相信其所处的世界是公正有序的，本研究考察的是公正世界信念是否影响记忆。实验一中被试首先阅读一则彩票中奖的新闻，再阅读关于中奖者人品的描述，然后回忆奖金数目，结果发现中奖者个性品质的不同描述影响被试对奖金的回忆。实验二中两组被试分别阅读维护或威胁公正世界信念的无关故事，接下来程序与实验一相同，结果发现预先激活的公正信念状态与中奖者个性品质在记忆结果上存在显著的交互效应。结果表明，公正世界信念影响记忆。

英文摘要：

People tend to believe in a just world （ BJW）, a world in which there is order, where people usually get what they deserve and deserve what they get. To support the BJW, people might adopt various coping reactions including memory distortion and reconstruction for a balance between BJW and reality. In present research, two experiments are designed to explore whether the participants bias their memories differently about the ＂good＂ vs. ＂bad＂ persons and whether the primed state of BJW （threatened vs. confirmed） have a modulatory effect. In experiment 1, a piece of real news that someone won a big lottery prize was adapted as the memory material and there were two different groups of sentences （ 18 for each） designed to describe the winner as a ＂good＂ or ＂bad＂ person. 44 participants were recruited （8 excluded from data analysis）. They read this news first and then one group of the descriptions （good or bad） about the winner. Finally, they were asked to complete a memory test including some questions about the neutral details mentioned in the news and the real probing question to recall the prize value. E-prime was used to present all the tasks on computer. Consistently with previous research,the present results showed that a ＂good＂ winner received an unbiased recall of lottery prize value （ t（17） =. 96,p 〉. 05）, while for a ＂bad＂ winner the recalled prize value was much lower than the real （ t（17） = 2. 53 ,p 〈. 05）. In experiment 2, a new story about one good but unlucky singer with two different endings was used to prime the BJW states in advance, the happy version to confirm BJW and the sad one to threaten BJW. One half of the participants read the happy version and the other half the sad one. The following procedures were used for Experiment 1. There were 4 experimental conditions （ confirmed BJW- good winner, threatened BJWgood winner, confirmed BJW-bad winner, threatened BJW-bad winner） and 132 undergraduate students （17 excluded from d
