The importance of unfair intentions and outcome inequality for punishment by third parties and victims What drives punishment in third parties and victims?

Whereas third parties and victims punish unfair intentions, victims may also punish the resulting negative outcome inequality between them and the offender. In the proposed study, we orthogonally cross the factors offender’s intention with the actual outcome. The participants are either in the role of a third party or of the victim and decide on the punishment of the offender. This approach captures qualitative differences of third-party punishment and punishment by victims. This is a preregistration of the article: Hechler, S., & Kessler, T. (2022).
