The present study addresses the effect of the context of group comparison and group identification on children's expression of this emotion. Through different stories, participants aged between 6 and 11 years were exposed to four contexts of upward social comparison in which they had to adopt the role of the disadvantaged character. From their emotional responses and their decisions in a resource allocation task, three response profiles were created: malicious envy, benign envy, and non-envy. Although we found important differences between verbal and behavioral responses, the results showed greater envy, both malicious and benign, when the envied was an out-group. On the other hand, when the envied belonged to the in-group and competed with a member of the out-group, malicious but not benign envy practically disappeared. With age, envious responses decreased, and non-envious responses increase...

They completed the self-report online questionnaire that included Work Spillover into Family Life scale, Acculturative Behaviour scale, Perceived Social Justice scale, and socio demographic questions. The results showed that work-home management conflict significantly dominated over a work-leisure conflict in the group of working immigrants, and only those Lithuanian immigrants who have children reported higher work-parent conflict compared to other types of work-non-work conflict. Higher assimilation level predicted lower work-leisure and lower work-home management conflict while higher integration level was related to higher work-home management conflict. Higher scores of Perceived Social Justice scale were related to lower work-non-work life conflict.
