Affective antecedents of revenge

Kieran O'Connor et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2013 Feb.

Abstract

We propose that revenge responses are often influenced more by affective reactions than by deliberate decision making as McCullough et al. suggest. We review social psychological evidence suggesting that justice judgments and reactions may be determined more by emotions than by cognitions.
