However, the internal consistencies for CBVS Justice/Fair Justifications were very low across all four stories. Bystander character / physical victimization story 1 showed the greatest reliability (.4183) for Justice/Fair Justifications. Victim character / physical victimization story 2 and bystander character / relational victimization story 3 showed similar, but low (.1140, .1890 respectively) reliabilities. 78

Victim character / relational victimization story 4 showed a negative (-.2242) reliability for Justice/Fair Justifications. Correlations were low across all four stories for Justice/Fair Justifications. Story 1 and story 2 (.3107) and story 2 and story 4 (.3555) showed the highest correlation at the .01 level of significance. Story 1 and story 3 showed a correlation of .1714 at the .05 level of significance. See Table 7.
