我们提出了两项关于被嫉妒的研究。研究1使用了情感叙事方法。我们询问了44名西班牙人（23名女性，21名男性）和48名欧洲裔美国人（36名女性，12名男性），请他们讲述自己最近被别人嫉妒的经历。我们分类了前因、关系背景、嫉妒标记、应对策略以及被嫉妒的积极和消极影响。在研究2中，174名西班牙人（88名女性，86名男性）和205名欧洲裔美国人（106名女性，99名男性）对他们拥有别人想要的东西的情况做出了反应。我们操纵欲望的对象（学业成就或拥有“更好的生活”）。我们在成就取向（即纵向个人主义）、合作和人际和谐（即横向集体主义）、对成功的零和观点、认为成功会带来敌意的垂涎、对成功的恐惧和性格上的嫉妒等方面衡量了个体差异。我们还测量了参与者的评价、积极情绪和消极情绪以及应对策略。这两项研究的结果都表明，被嫉妒既有积极的影响（例如，增强自信），也有消极的影响（例如，害怕别人的恶意）。与以合作和人际和谐为导向的参与者（西班牙人）相比，以成就为导向的参与者（欧裔美国人）被嫉妒对心理和关系产生了更多的积极和消极影响。
We present 2 studies on being envied. Study I used an emotional narrative methodology. We asked 44 Spanish (23 women, 21 men) and 48 European American (36 women, 12 men) participants to tell us about a recent experience in which others envied them. We classified the antecedents, relationship context, markers of envy, coping strategies, and positive and negative implications of being envied. In Study 2, 174 Spanish (88 women, 86 men) and 205 European American (106 women, 99 men) participants responded to a situation in which they had something someone else wanted. We manipulated the object of desire (academic achievement or having "a better life"). We measured individual differences in orientation to achievement (i.e., vertical individualism), cooperation and interpersonal harmony (i.e., horizontal collectivism), a zero-sum view of success, beliefs that success begets hostile coveting, fear of success, and dispositional envy. We also measured participants' appraisals, positive and negative emotions, and coping strategies. The findings from both studies indicate that being envied has both positive (e.g., increased self-confidence) and negative consequences (e.g., fear of ill will from others). Being envied had more positive and more negative psychological and relational consequences among those participants who were achievement oriented (European Americans) than among participants who were oriented to cooperation and interpersonal harmony (Spanish).
