Abstract

Transgression-related interpersonal motivations are motivations experienced and expressed by a person towards the other person post transgression. The objective of the present study was to determine whether there are any genderdifferences between the younger (married for 5-10 years) and older (married for 20-25 years) couples with respect to the transgression-related interpersonal motivations – revenge, avoidance, and benevolence motivations. This study also aims to determine whether there are any correlations between the revenge, avoidance and benevolence motivations of transgression in younger and older couples. A non-probability purposive sampling method was used to select a sample of 40 couples, out of whom 20 couples were married for 5-10 years and 20 couples were married for 20-25 years.
