Envy is a pervasive negative emotion. Previous studies on envy focused more on the negative effects of it, and did not distinguish between benign envy and malicious envy. Moral hypocrisy at the interpersonal level is defined as the gap in the moral evaluation of others or oneself. The present study explores the influence of benign envy and malicious envy on moral hypocrisy and its underly mechanisms. Preliminary experiment tested two different emotional arousal methods and found that recollection is more effective in arousing different types of envy. Based on it, the formal experiment showed that the arousal of benign envy and malicious envy can both deduce moral hypocrisy. However, there may be differences in their internal mechanisms, which still need further verification. In addition, the relationship between envy and moral hypocrisy will be moderated by the displacement of responsibility. When it is high, the arousal of envy will no longer have a significant influence on moral hypocrisy.
