The procedural justice model is a common framework for understanding how and why fair procedures conveyed by legal authorities (such as police officers) shape the legal socialization process. The present contribution draws upon self-determination theory (SDT) to advance the procedural justice model through its focus on internalization, in terms of identification and external regulation. Study 1 is a questionnaire-based study conducted among 268 Belgian adolescents that provides initial evidence for the incremental value of the SDT-based operationalization of internalization, above and beyond the classic operationalization (i.e., obligation to obey), for explaining why perceived procedural justice is linked to more compliance and less defiance. These results are corroborated in Study 2, which involves an experimental, vignette-based study (N = 210) contrasting a procedurally just versus unjust situation. The discussion focuses on how SDT may inform the legal socialization literature.

警察程序正义与青少年法律内化——自决理论融入法律社会化研究

程序正义模型是一个通用框架，用于理解法律权威（如警察）传达的公平程序如何以及为何塑造法律社会化过程。目前的贡献借鉴了自决理论（SDT），通过在识别和外部监管方面关注内化来推进程序正义模型。研究 1 是一项在 268 名比利时青少年中进行的基于问卷的研究，它为基于 SDT 的内化操作的增量价值提供了初步证据，超越了经典操作（即服从的义务），以解释为什么感知程序正义与更多的服从和更少的蔑视有关。这些结果在研究 2 中得到证实，该研究涉及一项基于小插图的实验研究（N = 210) 对比程序公正与不公正的情况。讨论的重点是 SDT 如何为法律社会化文献提供信息。
