Abstract

This study explored the relationship between subjective socioeconomic status (SSS) and envy, as well as the role that sense of control plays in this relationship in the Chinese collectivist culture. Participants were 927 Chinese adults (female = 64.8%; mean age = 24.52 years, SD = 4.935 years) who completed a series of questionnaires. Structural equation modelling showed that having a lower SSS was associated with a higher level of dispositional, benign, and malicious envy. Sense of control negatively mediated the relationship between SSS and dispositional, benign, and malicious envy. Multigroup analyses revealed no sex differences in either main or indirect effects. These results are related to the Chinese collectivist culture. The mediating role of sense of control is partially consistent with the social cognitive theory of social class. We propose that interventions focusing on sense of control could help reduce debilitating envy and its negative effects among lower SSS individuals.

中国集体主义文化中的主观社会经济地位与嫉妒:控制感的作用
本研究探讨了主观社会经济地位(SSS)与嫉妒之间的关系,以及在中国集体主义文化中,控制感在这种关系中所起的作用。参与者是927名中国成年人(女性=64.8%;平均年龄=24.52岁,SD=4.935岁),他们完成了一系列问卷调查。结构方程模型显示,SSS越低,嫉妒的倾向性、善意和恶意程度越高。控制感对SSS与倾向性嫉妒、善意嫉妒和恶意嫉妒之间的关系起到了负面中介作用。多组分析显示,无论是主要影响还是间接影响,都没有性别差异。这些结果与中国的集体主义文化有关。控制感的中介作用部分符合社会阶层的社会认知理论。我们提出,专注于控制感的干预措施有助于减少SSS较低人群中令人衰弱的嫉妒及其负面影响。
