“…Stuckless and Garonson (1992) demonstrated that the Vengeance Scale was negatively related to empathy and positively related to trait anger. Previous studies have confirmed its external validity (Holbrook, White, & Hutt, 1995) and convergent validity (Hutt, Iverson, Bass, & Gayton, 1997). Therefore, the scale was translated into Japanese in order to examine associations among vengeance, trait anger, and empathy.…”

The aim of this study was to construct a model of the elicitation of schadenfreude through vengeance, envy, and trait anger. Japanese undergraduates (239 men, 284 women) completed questionnaires assessing dispositional vengeance, trait anger, and empathy. Then, participants read two scenarios: one about a target person's success and one about his or her misfortune. After reading the first scenario, the participants were asked to rate their envy toward the target person, then their feelings of schadenfreude after the second. A Japanese version of the Vengeance Scale was developed, and its construct validity and test-retest reliability were confirmed. Structural equation modeling was applied to examine how dispositional vengeance, trait anger, and envy were related to schadenfreude. The results indicated that envy and dispositional vengeance were significantly related to scores on the schadenfreude scale, with no gender effect, whereas vengeance was associated with envy only for women.

“…I measured vengefulness using the 20-item Vengeance Scale (VS) developed by Stuckless and Goranson (1992). Previous researchers have demonstrated the measure's reliability, fi nding internal consistency and test-retest reliability coeffi cients typically exceeding .80 (Brown, 2004;Holbrook, White, & Hutt, 1995;Hutt, Iverson, Bass, & Gayton, 1997). The measure's fi nal score ranges from 20 to 140, with higher scores representing a stronger endorsement of vengeful attitudes.…”

This study examined the effects of context on emotional ratings using standardized ratings to form 3 levels of images. Participants, shown only 1 level of context, rated each image using a Likert Scale. We proposed that if context effects infl uence emotional ratings, then ratings would differ by weighted stimulus contexts. Results indicated that context effects altered how participants rated images. However, when participants were informed to be aware of context effects, ratings were closer to standardized ratings. These results show that emotional responses are infl uenced by context and further, that awareness of context can overcome this infl uence.

“…Vengeance also correlates significantly with greater machismo: an exaggerated sense of masculinity (Hutt et al, 1997;Sommers, 2000). This phenomenon sheds light on the three cases in which boys shot other boys who directly threatened their relationship with girls who were important to them.…”

“…Research shows that males sometimes attribute their acts of violence to jealousy (Bookwala et al, 1992;Stamp and Sabourin, 1995;Holtzworth-Munroe et al, 1997;Sommers, 2000) and studies pertaining to intimate violence cite jealousy as a common motive for murder (Sommers, 2000). Vengeance also correlates significantly with greater machismo: an exaggerated sense of masculinity (Hutt et al, 1997;Sommers, 2000). This phenomenon sheds light on the three cases in which boys shot other boys who directly threatened their relationship with girls who were important to them.…”

This article shows how 'normalized masculinity' and its effects are operative but invisible in public discussions of targeted violence against girls. In school shootings, dating violence and sexual harassment, boys assaulted girls who rejected them or otherwise caused the boys gender distress. Against this backdrop, the analysis situates recent school shootings, dating violence and sexual harassment on a continuum of unrecognized violence against young girls. Through a media analysis of 13 United States school shootings that took place between 1996 and 2002, it shows how gender played a significant influencing role. It then puts forward a framework for efforts to prevent violence rooted in damaging masculinity ideologies.
