Nereida Bueno Guerra Psicología revenge research Vengeance retaliation reciprocity Frijda (1994) warned that there was no major psychological study on vengeance, encouraging researchers to explore it. In the present article, an updated bibliographic search is done yielding similar conclusions but this time stating four arguments (cultural, judicial, criminal and psychological and social) to justify its study, concluding how society and individuals would benefit from it.
