The religious blasphemy case in the 2016 Regional Head election provides an overview of how the evaluation bias can occur in inter group relations in Indonesia. In addition to religious factors, the perception of injustice could be the basis for evaluation bias between groups. We suspect that unequal fair context differences have a role to evaluate biases. This experimental study aims to find out how the role of perception of injustice (vs. fair) on the evaluation bias based on self and Gods perspective (N = 219; M age = 21,63; 49% women). This experimental study uses 2 (perspective taking: self and God, within) x 2 (context: fair vs. unjust, between) mixed design. Evaluation bias is measured using a thirdparty punishment scenario where participants have a third person role that can impose punishment on outgroup targets (fictitious players). The results show that the unjust (vs. fair) context has a significant difference to evaluation bias towards outgroup based on self and Gods perspective. Moreover, evaluation bias will tend to be higher in an unjust context than a fair context. These results implicate that the perception of injustice and the use of self perspective (vs God) have an influence on the evaluation bias on towards outgroup in an intergroup relation.
