Definition of controversy

Jealousy is commonly known as "pink eye, jealousy, sour grapes", etc. In terms of inner feelings, jealousy manifests itself as a pressure from comparison to disappointment in the early stage; in the middle stage, it manifests as psychological frustration from shame to humiliation; in the later stage, it manifests as a venting behavior from dissatisfaction to resentment and hatred.

Jealousy is a relatively complex psychology, including anxiety, fear, sadness, suspicion, shame, self-blame, depression, hatred, hostility, resentment, revenge and other unpleasant mental states. Others' natural stature, appearance, and intelligence that are revealed day by day can become the objects of jealousy; other factors related to social evaluation, such as honor, status, achievements, property, prestige, etc., can also easily become the objects of jealousy.

The "Dictionary of Psychology" says: Jealousy is a kind of shame, anger, resentment, etc. that is caused by comparing with others and finding that one is inferior to others in terms of talents, reputation, status or circumstances. Complex emotional states. There are two errors in this concept: one is that jealousy comes from finding oneself inferior to others; the other is that jealousy is defined as an emotion.

First of all, we can find that a lot of jealousy does not come from finding that oneself is inferior to others. This is just an inducement to produce jealousy. Jealousy is caused by the weakening or loss of one's own sense of superiority and competitiveness because one is inferior to others. fundamental. For example, the many so-called suppression of subordinates by superiors that we see every day, as well as the story in history such as "David prevented Faraday from joining the Royal Society as president" are obviously caused by jealousy, but it is not just It is caused by the jealous person discovering that he is not as good as the other person in some aspects. At most, it is just that his power and position are threatened.

Secondly, emotions such as "shame, anger, and resentment" can only be manifestations of jealousy. This definition includes the jealous person's biased perception of the envied person and the jealous person's desire to compete. Non-emotional psychological phenomena such as these are excluded. If we only use such emotions to summarize the phenomenon of jealousy, it will be difficult to express its psychological essence. Instead, we can only describe it as both temporary and stable, and including various kinds of symptoms caused by jealousy. It will be more accurate to define and summarize the corresponding "mental states" including cognition, emotion, conscious desire, etc.
