Here we can see how the just-world hypothesis can shape our perception. You start to think about how Paul is always so absent-minded and maybe needed a bit of a wake-up call. You continue to comfort your friend, but you can’t help but feel that he must have left his doors unlocked and laptop in plain sight. You console Paul and ask how this could have happened, and he says he has no idea. He runs to assess the damage, finding that his car radio and laptop have been stolen. Your friend Paul’s lively demeanor quickly changes as his car comes into view with the passenger door wide open. Spirits are high as you walk back to the side street where you parked your cars. Imagine that it is a Friday evening and you and your friends are leaving your favorite restaurant.
