“…Similarly, behavioral economists argue that altruistic punishment may be driven by either strategic or emotional motivations (Espín et al 2012;Frank 1988). More broadly, moral and legal systems have long distinguished between "provoked" or emotional retaliation and premeditated retaliation, generally viewing the former as more acceptable (e.g., Gould 2003;Racevskis 2002).…”

The authors investigate how conflict between groups shapes social status within groups. Conflict may create opportunities for individuals to gain or lose status by demonstrating group commitment. Pursuing revenge for an intergroup affront can serve as a source of status in settings characterized by a “culture of honor” or “code of the street.” Yet little is known about whether this holds in everyday settings. The authors develop a theoretical account of the relationship between vengeful behavior and social status. They test their predictions with four online survey experiments. Respondents generally perceive intergroup retaliation as more status-worthy than interpersonal retaliation, and these status rewards are similar for men and women, are specific to retaliation rather than initiating aggression, and are diminished by premeditation. Broader implications include understanding how status shapes the social organization of aggression, why trivial disputes escalate, and the link between inter- and intragroup relations.
