Envy
An eight-item, five-point Likert-type scale is used to measure the degree to which a person desires another person's possessions and resents others with the desired possessions. A shorter version of the scale was used by O'Guinn and Faber (1989; Faber and O'Guinn 1992). See also Richins (2004).
