This paper outlines previous studies ahout perceptions of procedure justice,setting forth the career of concepet of the procedure justice,analysing its psychological process and mechanism ,listing some theory models such as authority relationship model ,group vaule model ,group engagement model.In this paper ,we consider three independent variables (social identity, procedure information and distributive outcome ),aiming at exploring when outcome and identity influence significantly the perception of procedure justice.Experimentl is a scenario .The second is based on the frist experiment .When the procedures people experience are uncertain, factors unrelated to principles of procedural justice may nevertheless shape procedural justice judgments. This paper investigates two of these factors: an individual's level of social identification with the group enacting the procedures and the outcomes associated with the procedure. It was predicted and found that high (vs. low) levels of identification promote relatively positive perceptions of procedural justice. It was also predicted and found that desirable (vs. undesirable) outcomes promote relatively positive perceptions of procedural justice. These effects only emerged in the absence of direct information indicating whether procedures were (un)fair. By showing an influnce of identification and outcomes on procedural justice judgments under conditions of informational uncertainty, these studies provide important experimental evidence that integrates and extends previous research on justice, identity, and uncertainty to understand subjective evaluations of process fairness.The experimental results show that: procedural information affect significantly on procedural fairness judgments. Social identity have a significant impact on procedural fairness judgments. Distributive outcome have a significant impact on procedural fairness.Only in the procedure under the conditions of information uncertainty, the effect of social identity or outcome on the procedural justice judgement have significant differences, while the impact of social identity or outcome on procedural fairness have no significant differences in the conditions of procedural information clearly marked unfair or fair.These results show that when procedural information that people experience is uncertainty , other factors that are unrelated to principles of procedural justice may affect the perception of procedural justice.
