Abstract

Previous research found cultural differences in participants’ reactions when observing another person being flattered. Collectivists rated a flattered opponent more negatively than did individualists. The current study examines how envy, parenting styles, childhood social experiences and personality traits affect individuals’ reactions to an opponent being flattered.
