Generally, if the advantage is unfair, especially in terms of objectively derived and agreed upon standards, the full-blown emotions of resentment and indignation rather than envy will result (e.g., Walker & Smith, 2002). Envy occurs when the advantage is painful but fair by such objective standards. Envy seems linked with a sense of injustice, but this sense of injustice is qualitatively different from that which produces indignation and resentment in their unalloyed forms. It is subjectively derived and nurtured. This notion of subjective injustice will be discussed further, but the key point here is that envy seems flavored by resentment, but of a kind qualitatively distinct from the feelings aroused by objectively unfair advantage. When we envy, we feel inferior because another person, otherwise like ourselves, possesses something that we long for but cannot have. Also, in a subjective sense, we usually feel that this advantage is not quite deserved.
