The Different Effects of Benign Versus Malicious Envy on Self-Control
This research hypothesizes that benign envy, as compared to malicious envy, heightens people’s private self-awareness, which in turn leads to improved self-control and greater consistency in sequential choice. Results from four experiments provide support for our predictions, contributing to the small but growing literature on consumer envy.
