Research Note - Why Following Friends Can Hurt You: An Exploratory Investigation of the Effects of Envy on Social Networking Sites among College-Age Users (2015, background): “Particularly for young adults, these processes are likely to be pronounced, because envy reaches its peak during reproductive years (Hill and Buss 2008), and younger users have limited experience in coping with its detrimental consequences (Salovey and Rodin 1988, Smith and Kim 2007).”
Envy As Pain: Rethinking the Nature of Envy and Its Implications for Employees and Organizations (2012, background): “As an adaptation, the pain of envy, along with the attention it draws toward the envied target, may motivate people to expend effort to address the unfavorable situation (Hill & Buss, 2008), and this can lead to diverse behavioral responses.”

Attentional biases within malicious and benign envy (2014, background): “According to an evolutionary account of envy (Hill & Buss, 2008; Hill, DelPriore, & Vaughan, 2011), this emotion has offered selective advantages for survival and reproduction in competitive social environments marked by scarce resources.”
Organizational Neuroscience: Taking Organizational Theory Inside the Neural Black Box (2011, background): “Hill and Buss (2008) have provided an evolutionary account of how envy evolved, and Smith, Combs, and Smith (2008) present evidence suggesting that jealousy can engender cardiovascular disease.”

Too Many ‘Friends,’ Too Few ‘Likes’? Evolutionary Psychology and ‘Facebook Depression’ (2015, background): “It has been hypothesized that the adaptive function of envy is to motivate and prompt action when one’s nearest competitors are perceived to be out-competing one (Hill & Buss, 2008).”
The Evil Queen's Dilemma: Linking Narcissistic Admiration and Rivalry to Benign and Malicious Envy (2016, background): “Envy not only alerts people of their shortcomings relative to others, it also spurs them to deal with such disadvantages (Crusius & Lange, 2014; Hill & Buss, 2008; Hill, DelPriore, & Vaughan, 2011).”
