“…But in an outbreak of a transgression, not only the victims, but observers also likely engage in punishment (Fehr & Fischbacher, 2004) and forgiveness (Brown, Wohl, & Exline, 2008)-especially when they identify with a victim or feel that the moral values they internalize are threatened (Brown et al, 2008;Carlsmith & Darley, 2008;Wenzel, Okimoto, Feather, & Platow, 2008). To date, a number of studies have directly pitted the responses of victims and observers, revealing that victims, at times, may be more inclined than third-party observers to forgive those who have hurt them (Cheung & Olson, 2013;Cooney, Allan, Allan, McKillop, & Drake, 2011;Green, Burnette, & Davis, 2008;Hashimoto & Karasawa, 2010).…”
