三个实验探讨了惩罚性性格归因于规范违反者的决定因素。实验一表明，意识形态保守主义和操纵的社会威胁增加愤怒和归因惩罚时，有歧义的罪责。实验2表明，通知观察员，违反规范的行为是普遍的，很少受到惩罚，通过激活愤怒的报复性目标增加归因惩罚。实验3表明，自由主义者和保守主义者都认为有理由将更大的责任归咎于那些犯下疏忽行为并造成更严重后果的高地位肇事者，但只有保守主义者认为有理由这样做。总的来说，研究结果加强了这样一个假设，即社会威胁激活了一种起诉心态，这种心态可以通过一组相关的归因、情绪、惩罚目标和惩罚性来识别。
Three experiments explored determinants of punitive character attributions to norm violators. Experiment 1 showed that ideological conservatism and manipulated threat to society increased anger and attributional punitiveness when there was ambiguity about culpability. Experiment 2 showed that informing observers that norm violations were widespread and rarely punished increased attributional punitiveness by activating anger-charged retributive goals. Experiment 3 showed that liberals and conservatives alike felt justified in assigning greater blame to high-status perpetrators who commit acts of negligence with more severe consequences but that only conservatives felt justified in doing so for low-status perpetrators. Overall, the results reinforce the hypothesis that societal threat activates a prosecutorial mindset identifiable by a correlated cluster of attributions, emotions, punishment goals and punitiveness.
