Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Envy is a universal emotion. This research investigated the impact that status hierarchies within brand communities have on the occurrence of Envy. Across four experiments, I examined the antecedents and consequences of Malicious and Benign Envy as well as their effect on members of brand communities. Specific attention was paid to Self-Brand Connection (SBC), Deservingness, and Schadenfreude. Findings from Experiment 1 showed that Deservingness affects feelings of both Malicious and Benign Envy. Results indicated that participants showed Benign Envy toward a higher status target who is deemed worthy of good fortune. However, if the higher status member of the brand community is deemed unworthy of the good fortune, participants experienced Malicious Envy toward that person. In Experiment 2, Deservingness and SBC were manipulated to investigate their effects on the emotional presence of Malicious and Benign Envy. For Malicious Envy, the impact of the source of the car was greater for High SBC than for Low SBC Participants. In Experiment 3, level of brand ownership, within the luxury brand hierarchy, was manipulated to investigate how level of ownership affected feelings of Malicious and Benign Envy. Results indicated that more Benign Envy was felt for those who deserved/earned their car than for those who were gifted their car. In Experiment 4, a product failure manipulation was added to investigate under what circumstances feelings of Malicious and Benign Envy transmute into Schadenfreude. Practical implications and future directions are discussed.

This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,3, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne (Paris School of Economics), course: Consumer Psychology, language: English, abstract: The present study analyzes envy and its effects on individuals’ willingness to pay. On the basis of previous research in the field of envy, an experiment with 80 subjects was designed in order to find out more about malicious envy in relation with branded products. By eliciting malicious envy through a pitch-and-toss game with an unfair outcome, a better-off and a worse-off participant could be determined. During the experiment, malicious envy was supposed to influence individuals’ willingness-topay for a bar of chocolate. After collecting the willingnesses-to-pay, the results of an experimental group and a control group were compared. The findings show that malicious envy effectively influences the subjects’ willingness-to-pay for the branded product as well as for the no-name product in a negative way, whereas the general perception of the chocolate is positive.
Download or read book The Hidden Nature of Envy written by Amy Bonham and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The consequences of envy in the workplace can have a significant impact upon the workplace environment and on productivity. This thesis aims to explore how situational factors influence the behavioural and interpersonal consequences of envy in the workplace. This study was conducted with participants from three businesses and involved semistructured, individual interviews with employees. The key findings suggest that the consequences of envy experienced in the workplace are jointly influenced by envious individuals’ perceptions about themselves, the envied other and the organisation. Furthermore, the data suggest that, given certain circumstances, envy can have constructive outcomes in the workplace, such as increased job performance and pro-social, helping behaviours. It is suggested that the direction and strength of envy outcomes are particularly influenced by the relationship between the envious individual and the target of envy. The theoretical implications of these findings support the argument for a situational view of envy. The findings also suggest that so-called malicious and nonmalicious envy are not types of envy, but different envy responses that are triggered by the discomfort of realising one’s relative inferiority. The practical implications for the study are that the organisation is not powerless against the outcomes of workplace envy experiences; through open communication with staff, the organisation can influence envious employees’ perceptions of organisational fairness and concern for equity, thereby fostering constructive envy outcomes.
Download or read book The Moral Psychology of Envy written by Sara Protasi and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-08-22 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Envy is a vicious and shameful response to the good fortune of others, one that ruins friendships and plagues societies—or so the common thinking goes, shaped by millennia of religious and cultural condemnation. Envy’s bad reputation is not completely unwarranted; envy can indeed motivate malicious and counterproductive behavior and may strain or even tear apart relations between people. However, that is not always the case. Investigating the complex nature of this emotion reveals that it plays important functions in social hierarchies and it can motivate one to self-improve and even to achieve moral virtue. Philosophers and psychologists in this volume explore envy’s characteristics in different cultures, spanning from small hunter-gatherer communities to large industrialized countries, to contexts as diverse as academia, marketing, artificial intelligence, and Buddhism. They explore envy’s role in both the personal and the political sphere, showing the many ways in which envy can either contribute or detract to our flourishing as individuals and as citizens of modern democracies.

Download or read book Envy at Work and in Organizations written by Richard H. Smith and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Competition for resources, recognition, and favorable outcomes are all facts of life in professional settings. When one falls short in comparison to colleagues or subordinates, feelings of envy may arise. Fueled by inferiority, hostility and resentment, envy is both ubiquitous and painful. Will employees "level up" with their envied counterpart through self-improvement behaviors? Or will they "level down" through sabotage and undermine their peers and subordinates in the process? Envy at Work and in Organizations aims to determine the direction workplace envy takes. Contributors are drawn from many countries and from an extraordinary range of disciplines to share their insight: experimental social psychologists offer insights from lab studies, psychoanalytical scholars emphasize unconscious processes, organizational psychologists describe groundbreaking research from disparate work settings, and cross-cultural psychologists reveal the variety of ways that envy can emerge as a function of cultures as wide-ranging as the Japanese school system to the fascinating structure of the Israeli kibbutzim. Work and insight from behavioral economists and organizational consultants is also included. Envy at Work and in Organizations is a valuable, distinctive resource for both scholars and practitioners looking to grasp the nature of envy. Edited by Richard H. Smith, Ugo Merlone, and Michelle K. Duffy, this volume will help readers understand the factors that help individuals and organizations overcome envy and transform it into something positive to promote workplace well-being.
Download or read book Schadenfreude written by Wilco W. van Dijk and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-24 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When someone suffers a mishap, a setback or a downfall, we sometimes find ourselves experiencing schadenfreude - an emotion defined as deriving pleasure from another's misfortune. Schadenfreude is a common experience and an emotion which is seemingly inherent to social being. This book offers a comprehensive summary of current theoretical and empirical work on schadenfreude from psychological, philosophical and other scientific perspectives. The chapters explore justice as an underlying motive for schadenfreude, and the role played by social comparison processes and envy in evoking pleasure at the misfortunes of others in interpersonal relations. Schadenfreude is also described as a common phenomenon in intergroup relations. This is a compelling volume on a fascinating subject matter that aims to increase our understanding of the nature of this emotion and the role it plays in social relations.
Download or read book Consumers Selves and Marketing written by Daniela Herzog and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumers' self-concept plays a key role in consumer behavior. Against this background, this doctoral thesis is dedicated to the examination of important aspects related to consumers' self. In three papers, Daniela Herzog studies consumers' self in the context of marketing from three different perspectives. In Paper 1, she provides a better understanding of the two types of consumers' self-concepts (actual and ideal self) and how they are construed. In Paper 2, she examines how an activated ideal self (i.e., ideal self-congruence) and its different facets (e.g., related to status or friendship) influence the perceptions of brands and consumers' emotions simultaneously. Finally, in Paper 3, she studies how advertising that promotes the beauty of normality and challenges unrealistic beauty ideals impacts females' self-discrepancy (difference between the actual and ideal self), emotions, and brand perceptions. Conclusively, this dissertation highlights consumers' self as a central, multifaceted, and complex phenomenon. The three papers improve our understanding of consumers' actual and ideal self and provide insights into how to target them. The dissertation also shows that both aspirational branding (communicating with ideals) and therapeutic advertising (promoting the beauty of normality and challenging unrealistic and unattainable beauty ideals) can have positive and negative effects on a consumer simultaneously (a dual effect). These findings imply that managers and researchers need to be aware of such potential dual effects. In sum, this dissertation generates implications for research in the context of consumers' self in marketing and consumer behavior. Furthermore, this dissertation generates important implications for managers on how brands can most effectively target and activate consumers' selves, on how to positon brands which are congruent with consumers' ideals, and on how to implement advertising strategies challenging unrealistic beauty ideals.
Download or read book Envy written by Richard H. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

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.
Download or read book Antecedents and Consequences of Creativity and Beauty Judgements in Consumer Products written by Bo T. Christensen and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature in consumer psychology has tended to lack a clear separation between theoretical models of creativity and beauty evaluations of products. The present study examined whether creativity and beauty affected willingness to pay jointly or separately. In three experiments using paintings, wrist watches and designer lamps as stimuli, the present study shows how creativity and beauty both positively influence consumer willingness-to-pay for the product, but each explains different parts of the variance. Further, product complexity differentially affects consumer judgments of creativity and beauty. The results show that it is essential to develop separate models of creativity and beauty evaluations in consumer psychology, in that they seem to be distinct factors, explaining different parts of the variance in their consequences on willingness to pay, and are affected differentially by antecedent factors, such as complexity.
