程序不公平何时会导致报复？为什么不公平待遇的接受者有时会寻求报复，有时会抑制报复？五项研究探讨了这些问题。作者提出并发现，监管重点缓和了对不公平颁布当局的报复：促进重点参与者比预防重点参与者更有可能报复。提升焦点与个人自我相关，也提高了个人自我的可及性。反过来，个人自我的可及性影响报复。事实上，在高个人自我可及性的条件下，预防焦点参与者和促进焦点参与者一样具有报复性。本文最后讨论了程序公平性和监管焦点文献的启示，并对未来的研究提出了建议。
When does procedural unfairness result in retaliation, and why do recipients of unfair treatment sometimes pursue and other times inhibit retaliation? Five studies addressed these questions. The authors proposed and found that regulatory focus moderates retaliation against an unfairness-enacting authority: Promotion-focus participants were more likely to retaliate than prevention-focus participants. Promotion focus was associated with, and also heightened the accessibility of, the individual self. In turn, individual-self accessibility influenced retaliation. In fact, prevention-focus participants were as retaliatory as promotion-focus participants under conditions of high individual-self accessibility. Implications for the procedural fairness and regulatory focus literatures are discussed, and suggestions for future research are offered.
