Answer:

the just-world phenomenon.

Explanation:

The just world phenomenon states that people develop defense mechanisms to diminish their perception of vulnerability and to continue their daily activities. However, these mechanisms, in addition to reducing the perception of personal vulnerability to threatening situations, can also lead to a distorted assessment of victimization and victim situations. An example of this is people who blame cancer victims for their medical misfortune.
