SummaryPrevious research has shown that retaliation can be an effective means of restoring equity to the relationship between a harm‐doer and his victim The present study investigated the equity restoring properties of two components of retaliation the harm‐doer “paying the price” for his harmful act, and the victim being given an opportunity to inflict harm Equity was restored to the relationship between the harm‐doer and his victim when the harm‐doer believed that his victim would be given an opportunity to inflict harm either upon the harm‐doer or a neutral party When the harm‐doer was led to believe that he would be retaliated against by someone other than his victim, equity restoration did not occur. The suggestion was made that the crucial factor in equity restoration may be the way in which the harm‐doer thinks the relationship is viewed by his victim
