Abstract: In order to explore the development of envy of primary school children in different situations and the influence of envy on task persistence, Study 1 measured the developmental characters of envy of 343 children from grade 3～5 based on the suitable envy scenario stories constructed by the experimenters, and Study 2 examined the influence of envy of 83 children on their task persistence by using the method of recall personal envy experiences to induce their own envy. The results were as following: (1) The envy of primary school children was the highest in the family context.(2) In the school context, the envy of the boys in grade 4 and 5 was higher than that of the girls, and the envy of grade 5 boys was higher than that of grade 4 boys, but the envy of grade 3 girls was the highest. In the family context, there was no significant change with increasing grade in the envy of the boys, but the envy of grade 4 girls was the lowest, and the envy of grade 4 boys was higher than that of the girls. In other context, the envy of the boys was higher than that of the girls, but the envy of grade 4 children was lower than that of grade 3 children.(3) The envy of primary school children had a positive effect on their task persistence.

Key words: primary school children; envy; fairness; development; task persistence
