“…To assess the emotions evoked by each trial, the participants completed a computerized questionnaire (see Table I) including 18 items, of which 13 were adapted from the depression adjective checklist (DACL) [Lubin, 1981] and from previous studies assessing fortune of others emotions [Brigham, 1997;Smith et al, 1996;Van Dijk et al, 2006]. Each item presented an emotion, and participants were asked to rate how well this emotion reflected their feelings at that particular moment on a scale from 1 (not at all) to 7 (extremely).…”

Humans have a drive to evaluate themselves by examining their abilities and outcomes in comparison to others. The present study examined the emotional and neural correlates of upward social comparison (comparison with those who have more) and downward social comparison (comparison with those who have less). Two experiments were conducted with volunteers in an interactive game of chance, in which a putative player won or lost more money than the participant. The results showed that even when participants lost money, they expressed joy and schadenfreude (gloating) if the other player had lost more money. On the other hand when they actually won money, but the other player had won more they expressed envy. This pattern was also demonstrated in a differential BOLD response in the ventral striatum. Comparing the activations between an actual gain and a relative gain indicated that even when a person loses money, merely adding information about another person's greater loss may increase ventral striatum activations to a point where these activations are similar to those of an actual gain. We suggest that the ventral striatum plays a role in mediating the emotional consequences of social comparison.

“…The onedimensional scale used in our research shows a satisfactory reliability (alpha 0.79). A third measure, used to operationalize the concept of psychological well-being, was a Dutch variant of a composite of two subscales of the Depression Adjective Check List (Lubin 1965(Lubin , 1981Arrindell and van Rooijen 1999) measuring dysphoria (22 items) and euphoria (12 items). The respondent is asked to cross out those affects that give expression to his momentary emotional feelings.…”

Why Sin?—A Test and an Exploration of the Social and Psychological Context of Resentment and Desire

This article focuses on the theory put forward by Donald Capps in his The Depleted Self (Sin in a narcissistic age. Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 1993) that there is a particular link between some forms of narcissism and the commitment of particular deadly sins. The data in the research reported in this paper robustly validate the idea that the psychological consequences of the bureaucratic consumer society, understood as a lack of individual well-being leading to a narcissistic defense, show the theological relevance of the deadly sins in understanding those conditions in society which on a global scale appear to threaten the individuality of the single person. Narcissism, both in its covert and overt mode, seems to be the most important variable in explaining the two factors of sin: resentment and desire. In addition to the effects already accounted for by well-being and narcissism, the possible contribution of religion and biography is explored.

“…In general, the correlations for test-retest reliability, as expected, are the lowest of any in the table, although significant because of the large N . The state form of the DACL was used, and these correlations should be sensitive to transient mood change (Lubin & Himelstein, 1976 Table 2 presents findings on the concurrent validity of the four versions of the DACL. Both the DACL and the self-rating scale are measures of self-reported state depression, and, as expected, the highest correlations are between these two measures on all versions of the DACL.…”

Data are presented on the translation, reliability, concurrent validity, and norms of the Spanish, Hebrew, and Chinese versions of three equivalent forms of the Depression Adjective Check Lists, and comparisons with the English version are made. Reliability estimates (split‐half, alternate form, and internal consistency) for the four versions are quite similar in magnitude (.79 to .94). Concurrent validity was determined in each case by means of correlations with translated versions of a self‐rating scale of depression, the Bradburn Scale, the Cantril Self‐Anchoring Striving Scale, and the Katz Psychophysiologic‐psychosomatic Symptom Scale. The English and Hebrew norms are based upon national probability sampling.
