Then in Study 4 (N 105), we examined the context major betrayal by leader (i.e., aligning several factors theorized to strain practice IH). The results provide...
Exploitation is a fact of life for social organisms, and natural selection gives rise to revenge mechanisms that are designed deter such exploitations.
