Study of Revenge

This study is limited to individuals. In contemporary US (society) people identify as members of groups, even though the rights guaranteed by the US Constitution are for individuals not groups. They take an offense against a member as an offense against all members. Thus there are multiple events passing for revenge against an individual by a group. Not only was this aspect not included in the study it raises further questions about the breakdown in fairness of society, and denial of Constitutional protections for individuals.

Revenge may be all in the anticipation
Behavioral studies suggest that thinking about revenge stimulates the brain but that following through doesn't improve mood.
