To this aim, we conducted eight studies (total N = 3328), experimentally inducing anger and assessing behavioral reactions unfair dictator decisions the three-person-punishment game (3PPG). In five studies, used incidental induction (imagery or autobiographical recall) that allowed us induce without altering key elements...
In six studies, we consistently observed costly third-party punishment (3PP) to decrease under ambiguity of the norm violation. Our research suggests that, ambiguity, some people experience concerns about punishing unfairly. Those with higher (vs. lower) other-oriented justice sensitivity (Observer JS) reduced 3PP more pronouncedly (in Studies 1–3 and 4b, but not replicated in 4–5). Moreover, those who decided resolve (hence, removing risk unfairly) exceeded no (Study 4). However, did...
