This work relates judgements of deservingness or undeservingness to perceived responsibility, values, linking relations, and ingroup/outgroup relations. It presents a social-cognitive process model concerned with how people react to offences and to the perpetrators of offences. Studies concerned with achievement outcomes and retributive justice, and potential developments to the theoretical approach are described.
