Collective victimhood predicts revenge reactions independent of its associated emotions.
Evidence
We found that CV-negative emotions both in the case of Hindus and Muslims did not mediate the relationships of Collective victimhood with either revenge or reconciliation. There was only a small drop in beta values of Collective victimhood when it was entered singly and thereafter when it was entered along with CV-negative emotions. — R. C. Tripathi, R. Kumar, and V.
