In this paper we explain the need of "fairness" in the human-consistent computational system which supports a group consensus reaching process. We propose the model which combines mathematical approach based on fuzzy environment, i.e. “soft” consensus developed by Kacprzyk and Fedrizzi and socio-psychological approach concerning fairness component. We view fairness from two possible perspectives: a fair distribution and a fair final decision. Finally, we confirm our assumptions by observations in the analyzed groups of students.

W niniejszym artykule wyjaśniono potrzebę „sprawiedliwości” w systemie obliczeniowym wspomagającym proces osiągania konsensusu w grupie decydentów. Autorki zaproponowały model łączący podejście matematyczne oparte na środowisku rozmytym oraz czynniki społeczno-psychologiczne wyjaśniające opisywaną koncepcję. Pojęcie „sprawiedliwości” rozpatrywane jest tu w dwóch kategoriach: rozkładu zasobów oraz decyzji ostatecznej. Założenia poparte są wnioskami na podstawie obserwacji grup studentów.
