Abstract Objectives: envy is a negative social emotion that stems from a social comparison. This study explores the effect of deservingness on the intensity of schadenfreude (pleasure in another’s misfortune) in situations of invidious comparison. Method: the participants, 181 children between the ages of three and 10, were asked to describe what an envious character felt when the character (s/he) envied had lost an (deserved or undeserved) advantage. They were also asked to explain their answers. Results: the findings showed that schadenfreude was more intense when the lost advantage was undeserved than deserved only in young children. The difference between conditions decreased with age. The children’s explanations of schadenfreude were based on the damage to the envied person, whereas the responses of pity were justified by the misfortune and equitable ending (no one wins) of the story. Conclusions: the discussion addresses some of the possible factors, such as the acquisition of display rules, deservingness and perception of equality, that contribute to children’s understanding of emotions such as envy and schadenfreude.

嫉妒情况下的应得程度对schadenfreude强度的影响:一项发展研究/嫉妒情况下的应得程度对schadenfreude强度的影响:一项进化研究

摘要目的:嫉妒是一种消极的社会情感,源于社会的比较。这项研究探讨了在令人难以置信的比较情况下,应得程度对幸灾乐祸的强度(幸灾乐祸)的影响。方法:参与者181名3至10岁的儿童被要求描述一个令人羡慕的角色(羡慕的角色)失去(应得的或不应当的)优势时的感受。他们还被要求解释他们的答案。结果:研究结果表明,当失去应得的优势时,幸免于未得,而不是只有年幼的孩子中,幸灾乐祸更加激烈。条件之间的差异随着年龄的增长而减小。孩子们对幸灾乐祸的解释是基于对嫉妒者的伤害,而怜悯的回应则是通过故事的不幸和公正的结局(不是一场胜利)来证明的。结论:讨论解决了一些可能的因素,例如获得展示规则,应得和平等的感知,这些因素有助于儿童理解诸如嫉妒和幸灾乐祸的情绪。
