Have Your Cake and Make Her Eat It Too: Sabotaging Others While Maintaining Moral Self-Integrity
We show that people are motivated to sabotage close others when they experience self-threat, but act on this motivation primarily when they feel that sabotage is morally justifiable. Furthermore, we find that people who are threatened in one domain (e.g. academia) may sabotage close others in another (e.g. dieting).
