Although previous cross‐sectional studies have investigated the between‐person correlation between dispositional envy and subjective well‐being, few longitudinal studies have explored the within‐person relationships between state benign/malicious envy and subjective well‐being, as well as the intrapersonal and interpersonal mechanisms involved. This study adopted a diary approach for 14 consecutive days from a sample of 167 young women to investigate the within‐person associations among benign/malicious envy, self‐esteem, perceived social support, and subjective well‐being. The results revealed that benign and malicious envy had opposite effects on subjective well‐being within individuals. Besides, the results indicated that self‐esteem and perceived social support mediated the relationships between benign envy and two dimensions of subjective well‐being (positive affect and life satisfaction) within individuals. Furthermore, self‐esteem played a within‐person mediating role in the relationships between malicious envy and three dimensions of subjective well‐being, whereas perceived social support only served as a within‐person mediator between malicious envy and positive affect. These findings shed light on the distinction between benign envy and malicious envy and help in comprehending the intrapersonal and interpersonal mechanisms through which the two types of envy impact subjective well‐being in daily life.

Entertainment for Cosmopolitism: Science Fiction Fosters Identification With All Humanity via Awe

Research suggests that identification with all humanity (IWAH), a socio-psychological basis underpinning global solidarity, may be fostered by science fiction (sci-fi). However, the causality remains undetermined, and the underlying mechanisms are not fully explored. To address this, we propose a genre-specific pathway of self-transcendent media effects and test it from both the immediate and longitudinal perspectives. We conducted three studies with participants recruited from China. The preliminary study ( N = 1,060) revealed that sci-fi was distinctive in its capacity to elicit awe, a nuanced self-transcendent emotion in response to vast and novel stimuli. Using two controlled experiments, Study 1 ( N = 713) found that sci-fi narratives (vs. realistic narratives or no-message) boosted state IWAH by inducing awe. Through a three-wave panel design, Study 2 ( N = 543) documented that cumulative sci-fi engagement elevated IWAH over time by facilitating awe experiences in everyday life.

IntroductionThis study aimed to explore the relationship between family function and altruistic behavior in adolescents, while also investigating the potential mediating roles of extraverted personality and perceived social support.MethodsSurveys were administered to high school students across various schools in Guangdong Province, utilizing the Family APGAR Questionnaire, Extraversion Personality Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, and Altruistic Behavior Scale. A total of 972 valid questionnaires were collected for analysis.ResultsThe findings revealed that family function did not directly predict altruistic behavior. However, extraverted personality and perceived social support were identified as mediators between family function and altruistic behavior. Furthermore, both extraverted personality and perceived social support acted as chain mediators in this relationship.DiscussionThese results emphasize the importance of considering family dynamics in understanding adolescent altruistic behavior and highlight the potential pathways through which family function influences altruistic tendencies. Promoting positive family environments and enhancing extraverted personality and perceived social support may facilitate the cultivation of altruistic behavior in adolescents.
