Abstract

Dispositional envy has been conceptualized as an emotional trait that varies across comparison domains (e.g., attraction, competence, wealth). Despite its prevalence and potentially detrimental effects, little is known about stability and change in dispositional envy across time due to a lack of longitudinal data. The goal of the present research was to close this gap by investigating stability and developmental change in dispositional envy over time. In a preregistered longitudinal study across 6 years, we analyzed data from N = 1229 German participants ( n = 510–634 per wave) with a mean age of 47.0 years at intake ( SD = 12.4, range 18–88). Results from latent factor models revealed that both global and domain-specific dispositional envy were stable across 6 years in terms of their rank order and mean levels, with stability coefficients similar to those of other trait measures reported in literature. Moreover, a substantial amount of variance in global and domain-specific dispositional envy was accounted for by a stable trait factor. Results thus provide evidence for a stable disposition toward the experience of envy both at the global level and within specific envy domains. The present findings have important theoretical and practical implications for the stability and development of dispositional envy in adulthood and advance the understanding of emotional traits in general.
性格嫉妒的稳定性和变化:嫉妒作为一种稳定特质的纵向证据
性格嫉妒被定义为一种情感特征,在不同的比较领域(如吸引力、能力、财富)中有所不同。尽管它的普遍性和潜在的有害影响,但由于缺乏纵向数据,人们对性格嫉妒的稳定性和随时间的变化知之甚少。本研究的目的是通过调查性格嫉妒随时间的稳定性和发展变化来缩小这一差距。在一项为期6年的预登记纵向研究中,我们分析了来自N = 1229名德国参与者(每波N = 510-634)的数据,这些参与者在入组时平均年龄为47.0岁(SD = 12.4,范围18-88)。潜在因素模型的结果显示,整体和特定领域的性格嫉妒在6年内的等级顺序和平均水平都是稳定的,其稳定系数与文献中报道的其他特征测量相似。此外,总体和特定领域的性格嫉妒的大量差异被一个稳定的特质因素所解释。因此,研究结果为全球层面和特定嫉妒领域对嫉妒体验的稳定倾向提供了证据。本研究结果对性格嫉妒在成年期的稳定性和发展具有重要的理论和实践意义,并促进了对一般情绪特征的理解。
