The aim of this study was to construct a model of the elicitation of schadenfreude through vengeance, envy, and trait anger. Japanese undergraduates (239 men, 284 women) completed questionnaires assessing dispositional vengeance, trait anger, and empathy. Then, participants read two scenarios: one about a target person's success and one about his or her misfortune. After reading the first scenario, the participants were asked to rate their envy toward the target person, then their feelings of schadenfreude after the second. A Japanese version of the Vengeance Scale was developed, and its construct validity and test-retest reliability were confirmed. Structural equation modeling was applied to examine how dispositional vengeance, trait anger, and envy were related to schadenfreude. The results indicated that envy and dispositional vengeance were significantly related to scores on the schadenfreude scale, with no gender effect, whereas vengeance was associated with envy only for women.
本研究的目的是构建一个通过报复、嫉妒和特质愤怒引发幸灾乐祸情绪的模型。日本大学生（239名男性，284名女性）完成了评估特质报复、特质愤怒和同理心的问卷。然后，参与者阅读两个情景：一个是关于目标人物的成功，另一个是关于他或她的不幸。在阅读第一个情景后，参与者被要求对他们对目标人物的嫉妒程度进行评分，然后在阅读第二个情景后对他们的幸灾乐祸情绪进行评分。开发了日语版的报复量表，并确认了其结构效度和重测信度。应用结构方程模型来检验特质报复、特质愤怒和嫉妒与幸灾乐祸情绪之间的关系。结果表明，嫉妒和特质报复与幸灾乐祸量表得分显著相关，且不存在性别效应，而报复仅与女性的嫉妒相关。
