For centuries, scholars have argued that envy is the source of much
aggressive behavior as well as the root cause of much unhappiness,
but it is only recently that there have been attempts to examine
the emotion from an empirical perspective. This book is the first
of its kind to offer a comprehensive summary of current theoretical
and empirical work on envy provided by scholars from a range of
disciplines.
The first section of the book focuses on the rich theological,
philosophical, and evolutionary foundations of scholarly thinking
on envy. The second section covers the social psychological work on
envy and includes chapters on social comparison processes,
definitional challenges, the link between envy and schadenfreude,
intergroup envy, and fear of envy. The third section covers
research on envy from organizational psychology, experimental
economics, marketing, neuroscience, and anthropology. The fourth
section focuses on the implications of understanding envy for
physical and mental health with chapters on psychoanalytic
conceptions of envy, health psychology, and the challenges of
coping with envy. A final chapter consists of reflective comments
on all the chapters and brings together recurring themes and makes
suggestions for future research on envy.
