Call for unpublished papers: Meta-analysis on affective consequences of revenge

Karolina Dyduch-Hazar () and Sophie L. Kjærvik () are conducting a meta-analysis to examine the correlation between revenge and positive and negative affect and requesting any unpublished data related to the affective consequences of revenge.

Of particular interests are any online or laboratory studies that examined affective consequences of taking revenge as well as declaring, imagining, or recalling taking revenge against a person or a group. These activities could include but are not limited to administering noise blasts, sticking pins in a doll representing the transgressor, assigning difficult puzzles or distressing images to the provocateur, or serving them a hot sauce. Affective consequences of revenge could be assessed by asking participants to report their feelings, complete implicit measure of affect, or using more sophisticated measures such as, for example, EMG, EDA or EEG.

If you have conducted research or have access to unpublished data in this area, they would be grateful if you could share it with us. Your contributions will be acknowledged, and results remain confidential and used solely for this meta-analytic review.

Please feel free to contact Karolina Dyduch-Hazar () or Sophie L. Kjærvik ( if you have any questions or require further clarification.
