Sumario:This study aimed to examine the influence of benign and malicious envy upon offers from proponents with envious and envied status in the Ultimatum Game. Participants were 172 university students from Cordoba (Argentina). A factorial inter-subject 2 (type envy: benign and malicious) × 2 (condition of the participant: envied and envious) design was used, with an additional absolute control group. Offers in the Ultimatum Game were compared according to experimental condition. No statistically significant differences were observed between the different conditions. Nevertheless, the fear of being envied was positively associated with offers in the Ultimatum Game.
