The Social Consequences of Envy
We find that feelings of envy lead to greater escaping behavior from the envied target. Three experiments show that envious individuals, particularly those with high dispositional attention-to-feelings, perceive themselves to be less similar to the envied individual and to pursue different values in life, and exhibit more unique consumption preferences.
