Perceptions of Fairness in Interpersonal and Individual Choice Situations

You are graduating with a Ph.D. from a good psychology program. After a few interviews, a university that you are very interested in makes you an offer of an assistant professorship at $40,000 a year. The offer is not negotiable. You like the people. You like the job. You like the location. However, right before you are about to accept the offer, you find out that the same university is offer ing another new assistant professor $42,000. You do not see any character istics that make the other individual more qualified than you. Will you still accept the offer?
