Excellent idea! From Wikipedia:
Violence
Researchers have looked at how observers react to victims of
rape and other
violence. In a formative experiment on rape and belief in a just world by Linda Carli and colleagues, researchers gave two groups of subjects a narrative about interactions between a man and a woman. The description of the interaction was the same until the end; one group received a narrative that had a neutral ending and the other group received a narrative that ended with the man raping the woman.
Subjects judged the rape ending as inevitable and blamed the woman in the narrative for the rape on the basis of her behavior.
Illness
Other researchers have found that
observers judge sick people as responsible for their illnesses. One experiment showed that persons suffering from a variety of illnesses were derogated on a measure of attractiveness more than healthy individuals were.
In comparison to healthy people, victim derogation was found for persons presenting with indigestion, pneumonia, and stomach cancer. Moreover, derogation was found to be higher for those suffering from severer illnesses, except for those presenting with cancer. Stronger belief in a just world has also been found to correlate with greater derogation of
AIDS victims.
Poverty
More recently, researchers have explored how people react to
poverty through the lens of the just-world hypothesis.
Strong belief in a just world is associated with blaming the poor, with weak belief in a just world associated with identifying external causes of poverty including world economic systems,
war, and
exploitation.
TL;DR version: Basically you're a horrible person for believing in the just world fallacy, as the bolded sentences above demonstrate. Especially the blaming patients for becoming sick. Just wanted to share for everyone's reference.
Yes there's a billion factors in the admissions process, but bad luck is a poor excuse.
