Exploring the Framing Effects of Emotion (2003, background): “According to Iyengar (1991), when fed a steady diet of one frame type over another, individuals tend to recall and use the information consistent with the predominant frame when making decisions.”
The Influence of Anger, Fear, and Emotion Regulation on Ethical Decision Making (2013, background): “Angry individuals also tend articulate more punitive goals without considering situational influences on people’s behavior, resulting in self-serving decisions and less helping behavior (Gault & Sabini, 2000; Nabi, 2003).”
How Disgust Influences Health Purity Attitudes (2016, background): “Anger also motivates political action (Ryan 2012) and punitive attitudes (Gault and Sabini 2000).”
Leader Ethical Decision-Making in Organizations: Strategies for Sensemaking (2012, background): “Discrete emotions like anger often incite punitive evaluations of others and outward blame attributions (Gault and Sabini 2000; Nabi 2003; Smith and Ellsworth 1985), precursors of moral disengagement.”
The Role of Emotional Response during an H1N1 Influenza Pandemic on a College Campus (2013, background): “For example, anger aroused by a story about toxic waste dumping was linked to greater support for punishing the responsible party, compared to systemic change or helping the victims (Gault & Sabini, 2000).”
The Benefits, Costs, and Paradox of Revenge (2010, background): “Men, in general, tend to endorse and take revenge more than women do (Cota-McKinley et al., 2001; Crombag et al., 2003; Stuckless & Goranson, 1992), a gender difference also found in tendencies toward aggression (Eagly & Wood, 1991; Maccoby & Jacklin, 1980) and punitiveness (Gault & Sabini, 2000).”
Emotions about crime and attitudes to punishment (2012, background): “In a series of studies Gault and Sabini (2000) provide evidence that state anger (i.e. current emotional mood or contextual reaction) predicts support for punitive actions while trait anger (a relatively stable individual characteristic) is not a significant predictor of policy preferences.”
