- Future research on revenge should adopt a multilevel approach, considering both individual actions and their influence on larger cultural systems, to explore how revenge affects societal change.

Psychological studies illustrate the spirals of escalation and radicalisation: Just as much as violence begets violence, revenge intensifies fear and anxiety ... also in the retaliator. #violence #revenge #fear https://t.co/MPRqDS1yE8
@VoiceOfIslamUK @mtracey Revenge is a rather complex psychological process https://t.co/MPRqDS1yE8 https://t.co/xSW2kU74et
"Interestingly, vengeful people often feel less safe from future harm than do nonvengeful people ... This evidence suggests that, of the many proximal predictors of revenge, deterrence may be among the least influential." #violence #revenge #fear https://t.co/MPRqDS1yE8
