We envy people of our own age more
While envy lessens with age, both men and women are more likely to envy someone of their own age, reveals a new study.
New York: While envy lessens with age, both men and women are more likely to envy someone of their own age, reveals a new study.
The researchers also found that younger adults are more envious over looks and for a wider range of other reasons, as compared to older adults. The findings are based on two studies: the first surveyed more than 900 people from 18 to 80 years, and another of 800 more in the same age group to remember when they had been the target of envy.
The researchers found that envy declines with age -- about 80 percent of people less than 30 years were reported feeling envious in the last year. By age 50 and over, the figure went down to 69 percent.
Young people reported more frequently feeling envious over looks and romance as well as achievement at school and social success.
