• To Provide or Protect: Motivational Bases of Political Liberalism and Conservatism (2009, background): “They believe that the death penalty makes us safer (by both deterrence and punishment of nonnormative behaviors; see Carlsmith & Darley, 2008), and thus their positions on these two issues are coincident with their more general avoidant regulatory (protect-based) focus.”
• Organizational justice: New insights from behavioural ethics (2013, background): “Other work has shown that individuals will act assertively to restore fairness, often engaging in retributive behaviour (e.g. Carlsmith and Darley, 2008; Jones, 2009; Tripp et al., 2002).”
• Six Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Grand Challenges (2023, background): “From a psychological perspective, when confronted with perceived injustice, people tend to want to identify the perpetrator of the harm they suffered and punish his or her wrongdoing (Carlsmith & Darley, 2008).”
• Individual differences in third-party interventions: How justice sensitivity shapes altruistic punishment (2011, background): “Indeed, moral outrage as an intuitive-affective demand for ‘‘just deserts’’ has been demonstrated as the critical emotion mediating the effect of the severity of perceived injustice on punishment (Carlsmith & Darley, 2008; Carlsmith, Darley, & Robinson, 2002).”
• Does Anger Expression Help or Harm Leader Effectiveness? The Role of Competence-based versus Integrity-based Violations and Abusive Supervision (2017, background): “This is because punishment of unethical acts represents a form of retributive justice that shapes people’s perceptions of fairness (Carlsmith & Darley, 2008; Hogan & Emler, 1981).”
