AI Summary

New research from Linköping University in Sweden suggests that envy can influence how people vote. The study found that when an individual vote is unlikely to change the outcome, a person’s sense of personal responsibility decreases. This emotional shift, the researchers say, can lead voters to be more driven by envy in collective decision‑making. Professor Gustav Tinghög notes that the effect does not undermine democracy, but highlights that both positive and negative emotions play a role in voting behavior.
