Spite
Hi. In fair division, a branch of theoretical economics, there is a thing called spite where a player acts against his own interests in order to hurt someone else. So I started a page called spite.

But the concept is much broader. How about some knowledgeable wikpedian adding some examples of spite/spiteful behaviour from literature or politics or psychology?

Someone should give some empirical examples of this, and elaborate on the psychology aspect, it can be a considerably large motive to human behavior. Raskolnikov The Penguin 02:35, 2005 July 21 (UTC)
