• A person feels equitably treated when
his outcome/input ratio is equal to other
person’s outcome/input ratio.

Individual’s Income = Other’s Income

Individual's Input Other’s Input

units of lower quality)
Distort Perception of self(I thought I was
hardenless then others)
Distort Perception of others(“His Job Is not as
