Abstract

This study uses the criteria from Roseman's (2008) research on differentiating emotions from motivations. We classified hate as an emotion by showing that hate can affect motivations. In addition, we confirmed previous findings that people who hate someone are more accepting of harm coming to the target of that hate.
