In this research, we explored and demonstrated a relatively implicit and covert means of undermining envied targets-namely, helping them in a way that retains their future dependence, rather than in a way that increases their autonomy. In four studies, we varied our envy manipulations, measured the extent to which these manipulations trigger malicious motivations, and examined the consequences in terms of intended (Studies 1-2) and actual (Studies 3-4) helping behaviors. In Study 4, we also measured and tested the role of individual differences in terms of proneness to malicious versus benign envy. Taken together, our findings suggest that the extent to which envy toward superior versus neutral peers activates malicious motivations negatively impacts peoples' willingness to provide these superior peers with help, particularly with autonomous help.

在这项研究中，我们探索并展示了一种相对隐晦和隐蔽的方式来破坏被嫉妒的目标——即，以一种保留他们未来依赖的方式帮助他们，而不是以一种增加他们自主性的方式帮助他们。在四项研究中，我们改变了对嫉妒的操作，测量了这些操作引发恶意动机的程度，并根据预期（研究 1-2）和实际（研究 3-4）的帮助行为来检查后果。在研究 4 中，我们还测量和测试了易恶意嫉妒与易良性嫉妒个体差异的作用。总之，我们的发现表明，对优秀同伴的嫉妒程度相对于对中性同伴的嫉妒程度激活恶意动机，会对人们提供这些优秀同伴帮助的意愿产生负面影响，特别是提供自主帮助的意愿。
