Счастливы когда-нибудь

Зависть может оказывать искажающий эффект, особенно когда она касается денег. Это было доказано серией экспериментов, недавно проведенных в США[37]. В одном из них участников попросили занять завистливую или нейтральную позицию, когда они думают о таком же, как они, человеке, отличающемся лишь в одном отношении – он очень богат. Затем участникам предложили оценить ежедневные взлеты и падения, которые богатый человек может испытывать, отвечая на структурированные вопросы, например: «Если бы вы были тем человеком, как часто вы бы испытывали мелкие неудобства в сравнении с вашей нынешней жизнью?» Те, кто встал в позицию завистника, гораздо чаще приписывали воображаемому богачу взлеты, в отличие от респондентов, занявших нейтральную позицию. То есть люди, завидуя, представляют жизнь богатых намного лучше и счастливее, чем она есть в реальности. Поэтому если вы завидуете тем, кто богаче, то лучше представьте их ужасные поездки на работу, их вопящих детей и огромные налоговые счета.
