Abstract:
The study aimed to explore the roles of familys objective social status of freshmen, subjective social status and the poor students label in belief in a just world for freshmen. This study investigated 1060 freshmen from central, eastern and western China respectively and adopted correlation analysis and a moderated mediation model for data analysis. The results showed that: (1) Familys objective social status was significantly positively correlated with subjective social status and belief in a just world; (2) Subjective social status was significantly positively correlated with belief in a just world; (3) Subjective social status completely mediated the influence of familys objective social status on belief in a just world; (4) Poor students label moderated the mediation role of subjective social status. 
Specifically, among these freshmen with similar familys objective social status, students with poor labels had lower subjective social status and lower belief in a just world. The results 
demonstrated that the improvement of subjective social status had positive effect on freshmens belief in a just world. However, poor students labels negative effect should be carefully addressed in future educational practice.


Key words: familys objective social status, belief in a just world, subjective social status, poor students label
