Significant Predictors of Soccer Players’ Moral Functioning from Components of Contextual Injustice, Sensitivity to Injustice and Moral Atmosphere

This study analysed the effects of contextual injustice on the moral functioning of soccer players with two goals: (1) to identify the factors of contextual injustice, moral atmosphere and sensitivity to injustice that significantly predict moral functioning and (2) to test the hypothesis that sensitivity to injustice has an effect only in unjust contexts. Three hundred players (from 16 to 40 years old) participated in the study. The analyses indicated a negative and significant effect of contextual injustice on moral functioning. Sensitivity to injustice was, like moral atmosphere, one of the best predictors of moral functioning. Moreover, sensitivity to injustice was a significant predictor of moral functioning in both just and unjust contexts.     

From tribe to peasant? The Limbus and the Nepalese state

This article's context is the distinction inform and meaning of land tenure systems as between tribes and peasants, and the role of the state in the transformation of traditionally inalienable tribal lands into alienable private property. The historical circumstances which have shaped and transformed the economy and culture of a particular tribal population ‐ the Limbus of east Nepal ‐ are examined. There is analysis of the programme of land reform introduced by the Nepalese state, whose chief outcome for the Limbus was the abolition of their kipat tenures and the conversion of their lands into private property. The implications in terms of land and identity are considered, and the outcome of heavy dependence on a small class of high caste Hindus who are now their landlords, creditors and employers is outlined.
