Preferred term

John Jost  

Definition

  • The works of John Jost—labeled and bound together by the theory of system justification—address the perception, maintenance, and passing on of existing social arrangements. Their key problem is the relationship of the individual to society as a whole, including the order and structure that constitute the background of the individual's relationship to his or her society, group, and self-concept. [Source: Encyclopedia of Power; Jost, John (1968-)]
