Spite (sentiment)
Spite or spitefulness as a sentiment, action, or a personality trait has several possible meanings. According to the American Psychological Association there is "no standard definition of spitefulness. Spite can be broadly defined to include any vindictive or mean-spirited actions. Alternatively, a narrower definition includes the requirement that spiteful acts involve some degree of self-harm." One possible definition of spite is to intentionally annoy, hurt, or upset even when there might be no (apparent) gain, and even when those actions might cause the person spiting harm, as well. ''Spiteful'' words or actions are delivered in such a way that it is clear that the person is delivering them just to annoy, hurt, or upset. In his 1929 examination of emotional disturbances, ''Psychology and Morals: An Analysis of Character'', J. A. Hadfield uses deliberately spiteful acts to illustrate the difference between disposition and sentiment. Spite has also been studied as a trait of ...

Spite (game Theory)
In fair division problems, spite is a phenomenon that occurs when a player's value of an allocation decreases when one or more other players' valuation increases. Thus, other things being equal, a player exhibiting spite will prefer an allocation in which other players receive less than more (if more of the good is desirable). In this language, spite is difficult to analyze because one has to assess two sets of preferences. For example, in the divide and choose method, a spiteful player would have to make a trade-off between depriving his opponent of cake, and getting more himself. Within the field of sociobiology, spite is used to describe those social behaviors that have a negative impact on both the actor and recipient(s). Spite can be favored by kin selection when: (a) it leads to an indirect benefit to some third party that is sufficiently related to the actor (Wilsonian spite); or (b) when it is directed primarily at negatively related individuals ( Hamiltonian spite).

Spite Plateau
The Spite plateau (or Spite lithium plateau) is a baseline in the abundance of lithium found in old stars orbiting the galactic halo. It was named after the astronomers François and Monique Spite, who published the discovery in 1982. Background The element lithium was first produced during the Big Bang that created the observable universe. The cosmic abundance of lithium is of interest because it provides several constraints to the various Big Bang models. Those models that fail to satisfy these constraints are therefore subject to rejection or correction by the scientific community. Lithium is readily consumed by fusion with protons at temperatures above , such as is found in the cores of stars. Thus, if the convection zone of a main sequence star circulates a star's lithium through the core region (which is believed common in low-mass types K and M), the abundance of lithium in the star should be greatly reduced. Likewise, lithium can be produced in interstellar matter by ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Spite Fence
In property law, a spite fence is an overly tall fence or a row of trees, bushes, or hedges, constructed or planted between adjacent lots by a property owner (with no legitimate purpose), who is annoyed with or wishes to annoy a neighbor, or who wishes to completely obstruct the view between lots. Several U.S. states and local governments have regulations to prohibit spite fences, or related regulations such as those establishing a maximum allowed height for fences. In the United Kingdom, the terms spite wall or blinder wall (as in, to blind the view of a neighbor) are more commonly used. Law Courts have said, " der American rule... one may not erect a structure for the sole purpose of annoying his neighbor. Many courts hold that a spite fence which serves no useful purpose may give rise to an action for both injunctive relief and damages." Sundowner, Inc. v. King is a classic spite fence case. In this case from Idaho, the defendant King, bought a motel from the plaintiff (Bush ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Spite House
A spite house is a building Construction, constructed or Renovation, substantially modified to irritate neighbors or any party with Estate in land, land stakes. Because Residency (domicile), long-term occupation is not the primary purpose of these houses, they frequently sport strange and impractical structures. Purpose Spite houses may deliberately obstruct light or block access to neighboring buildings, or might be flagrant symbols of defiance. Although, in the US, homeowners generally have no right to views, light, or air, neighbors can sue for a negative easement. In instances regarding a spite build, courts are far more likely to side with the neighboring parties which may have been affected by that build. For example, the Coty v. Ramsey Associates, Inc. case of 1988 ruled that the defendant's spite farm constituted a nuisance, granting the neighboring landowner a negative easement. Spite houses, as well as spite farms, are considerably rarer than spite fences. This is partial ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cutting Off The Nose To Spite The Face
"Cutting off one's nose to spite one's face" is an English-language idiom, used to describe an irrationally self-destructive act taken in pursuit of revenge. The phrase often takes the form of a proverb, "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face". An early record of this phrase appears in the 12th Century writings of Peter of Blois, who referred to it as a "common saying" ''(Proverbium vulgare)'' and recorded it as: "He who cuts off his nose takes poor revenge for a shame inflicted on him." ''("Male ulciscitur dedecus sibi illatum, qui amputat nasum suum.")'' Modern Use and Examples Popular Culture Taylor Swift's 2019 single, "The Archer", provides a straightforward example of the phrase:“I cut off my nose just to spite my face / And I hate my reflection for years and years.”An invocation of the idiom that emphasises the everyday character of spite which is quickly regretted appears in Seamus Heaney's 1966 poem, "Gravities":"Lovers with barrages of hot insult ...
