The deontic principles of fairness theory suggests that people respond to misconduct not because of their own self-interest but because of their moral obligations to do what is right (Cropanzano et al., 2003). Mistreatment can infringe on norms of moral conduct, resulting in negative emotions that drive third parties to seek re- tribution toward offenders for their wrongdoings. Third parties might experience strong emotions and revenge intentions even in situations when they are not closely identified with victims or are unharmed by the wrongdoings (Turillo et al., 2002). For example, in two experimental studies involving student respondents, Van den Bos and Allan (2001) found that the unfair treatment experienced by others is as powerful a consideration in the perception of justice as if the participants themselves experienced the unfair treatment.
