The Root of Retribution : Coercion or Competition ?

چکیده
Everyone has experienced injustices and slights, and so approximately everyone has experienced sentiments like anger, resentment, and vengefulness. These are not just feelings. They are also motives; I call them retributive motives. In their grip, one is motivated to confront, retaliate, avenge, or seek retribution, often contrary to better judgment. These motives can be contrasted with prospective or proactive motives for aggressive or antagonistic behavior. For instance, proactive aggression occurs when someone harms another to achieve some direct benefit (whether material or hedonic), as when assault is committed only for the purpose of robbery.1
