Question

We Envy People of Our Own Age More
New York: While envy lessens with age, both men and women are more likely to envy someone of their own age, reveals a new study. [...]

"Envy can be a powerful emotion," said study co-author Christine Harris, psychology professor at the University of California, San Diego, US.

"We wanted to investigate envy not only because it is subjectively experienced as negative but also because it has been suggested as motivation for a whole host of events - from fairy tale murder to, in modern times, the force behind the Occupy Wall Street movement," Harris noted. [...]

While 40 percent of participants under 30 envied others for their success in romance, fewer than 15 percent of those over 50 said the same.

"Envy of monetary success and occupational success was common across all age groups," Harris said.

Men did envy occupational success more often than women, while women envied looks more often than men, the findings showed.
