Parting with the Past: Logical Conceptualizations and Replications of Vengefulness in Males

Lin and Frank (2016) failed to replicate findings from a study on self-reflection vengeance conducted by Exline colleagues (2008), which reported that males who self-reflected upon their potential for wrongdoing were less likely seek revenge than did not self-reflect. Using novel data methods Frank’s data, Grice (2017) discovered multivariate profile successfully differentiated between the groups of men. The present studies further assess replicability colleagues’ (2008) work. Study 1 any findings. Studies 2 3 investigate explanations replications modifying item response format. Implications unsuccessful are discussed.
