Malicious Desire Towards the Envied Product: Effect of Outcome-Focused Mindset on Malicious Envy

The present research examines that consumers want to possess not only benignly-envied products but also maliciously-envied products. Furthermore, when people focus on outcome, malicious envy might result in higher ‘envy premium’ (with regard to both WTP and choice) than benign envy in certain situations.
