	abstract = {In this study, we examined what contextual factors influence adolescents{\textquoteright} judgments and reasoning about spousal retribution. Adolescents were drawn from Central and Northern Israel and consisted of 2,324 Arab and Jewish students (Grades 7-11). The study was set up in a 2 (Arab/Jewish respondent) {\texttimes} 2 (spousal retribution scenarios) factorial design. Our findings suggest that societal and cultural norms may be more powerful contextual variables than group stereotypes in influencing Arab and Jewish adolescents{\textquoteright} evaluations of spousal retribution. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.},
