Abstract

We examined the relationship between aggression addiction and vicarious vengeance amongst psychopaths - factor 1 & 2- with gender as a third-order moderator. The findings indicate those with more psychopathic traits are more likely to enact vicarious vengeance. Aggression addiction did not present a significant relationship with the other variables.
