A dataset from a mixed factorial design study analyzing children's attribution of malicious (schadenfreude) or benign envy in gain/loss situations. The study, authored by Quintanilla Cobián, Laura, was harvested from e-cienciaDatos Dataverse and last updated on 2025-10-14. It includes variables for subject age, sex, grade, and independent conditions of deservingness and gain/loss.
Use Cases
- Analyzing the effect of zero-sum reasoning on schadenfreude intensity based on the gain/loss condition.
- Investigating the role of deservingness in envy attribution based on the merit/no-merit condition.
- Modeling age-related differences in emotional reasoning based on the controlled age variable.
- Studying verbal justifications for emotional responses as mentioned in the study description.
Strengths
- Study design controls for age and sex across all experimental conditions.
- Experimental conditions are clearly defined (deservingness/no-deservingness, gain/loss).
- Data includes verbal justifications for children's responses as mentioned in the description.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
