Previous research has conceptualized dispositional envy as a general construct that does not vary across comparison domains. In five studies (N = 1393), we examine domain–specific construct. Study 1, present the development of measure envy. Across samples from different populations and two countries (Studies 2 3), is shown to have good reliability, validity stability over three months, highlighting trait–like character State levels were also examined in academic domain (Study 4) dyadic...
A notable uptick of interest in the stability self–esteem has been observed over past few years. Most researchers, however, have focused on unidimensional rather than multidimensional conceptualizations self–esteem. The paucity empirical research is surprising given conflicting theoretical perspectives goal present study was to thoroughly disentangle different and test opposing classical theories (i) (ii) direction mutual influence these forms We analysed two–year longitudinal data from...
The present investigation addresses the question of whether certain factors can protect high-achieving students at risk for being labeled a nerd against devaluation.

We propose a novel answer―the tit-for-tat hypothesis. It states that like other people non-narcissists do and others reciprocate by liking return. also examine whether hypothesis generalizes to communal A large round-robin study ( N = 474) assessed (Wave 1) included two waves (Waves 2-3). The...

Classical theoretical perspectives have implied that either global self-esteem has an impact on domain-specific (top-down) or affects (bottom-up). The goal of the present research was to investigate whether classical top-down and bottom-up approaches could withstand a thorough test. To do so, we applied elaborate analytical methods in four-wave longitudinal study across 6 years with preregistered hypotheses data analyses. We analyzed from N = 1,417 German participants (30.6% men, median 12...
Research converges on the notion that when people feel envy, they disguise it towards others.This implies a person's envy in given situation cannot be accurately perceived by peers, as lacks specific display could used perceptual cue.In contrast to this reasoning, research supports contributes regulation of status hierarchies.If threatens positions, should highly attentive identify enviers.The combination two led us expect (a) state is difficult perceive unacquainted persons and (b)...
The current research investigated a phenomenon that has received little attention so far: the labelling of students who are characterised by strong academic orientation. We analysed whether personality predicts being labelled ‘Streber’ (literally person strives for success; German origin, similar to English word ‘nerd’) and others as Strebers. Besides individual characteristics, we examined impact classroom context. In Study 1 (N = 317), eighth–grade nominated classmates were considered be...
Using data from the Berlin Speed Dating Study, we tested rival hypotheses concerning effects of self–enhancement attractiveness on dating outcomes. Three hundred eighty–two participants took part in one 17 speed–dating sessions. After each interaction, indicated how interesting they found respective person as a long–term and short–term partner. social relations analyses, computed perceiver (being more or less choosy) target rated interesting) partner ratings. Self–enhancement was...
Previous research has shown that people with an optimistic life orientation are perceived as socially more attractive than pessimists. However, following the similarity-attraction hypothesis, we assumed both perceiver's and target's affects perceptions of social attractiveness. Moreover, were interested in how composition romantic partners’ (similar vs. dissimilar) relationship quality. The results experimental online study (N = 316) confirmed previous findings: Overall, optimists...
A large body of research revealed that shame is associated with adaptive and maladaptive correlates. The aim this work was to validate a new dimensional instrument (SHAME), which developed disentangle dimensions proneness. Confirmatory factor analyses supported the three-factorial structure (bodily, cognitive, existential shame) in American ( n = 502) German 496) community samples, using invariance testing. Bifactor model exhibited distinct associations (bodily cognitive (existential...
