Using this measure of justice sensitivity, some interesting work is being done. For instance, Gollwitzer and his colleagues (2005) examined the willingness of West Germans to contribute to East Germany to help improve living conditions, as there is a large disparity even years after the wall came down. Some particular proposals included an automatic deduction from the salaries of West Germans that would be used for job creation in East Germany, and the implementation of affirmative action hiring policies which would favor East over West Germans for new positions. It turned out that beneficiary sensitivity, for instance, was found to predict solidarity with East Germans, whereas victim sensitivity did not (Gollwitzer et al. 2005: 191).
