“due to KU55933 biological activity someone else” was also affected by the emotion condition, F(3,105) = 12.89, p < 0.001, 2 = 0.269, with the highest endorsement in the schadenfreude p condition (all pairwise ps < 0.001). The appraisal that the event was "due to someone else" was also higher in the group (M = 4.73, SE = 0.219) than the individual (M = 3.87, SE = 0.232) emotion conditions, F(3,105) = 8.02, p = 0.006, 2 = 0.071. Lastly, there p was only an effect of emotion condition on the appraisal that the participant was an observer of what happened, F(3,105) = 41.18,These single questions were analyzed individually in mixed-model ANOVAs. Means are shown in Table 3. The least smiling was reported in the schadenfreude condition, all ps < 0.026. In addition, the schadenfreude condition yielded the least celebration, all ps 0.001. Also, glee was more freely expressed in the gloating than in the schadenfreude condition, p = 0.005, and pleasure was flaunted more in the gloating than in the schadenfreude condition, p = 0.033. Participants boasted only marginally more in the gloating than in the pride (p = 0.076) and schadenfreude (p = 0.100) conditions.Frontiers in Psychology | Emotion ScienceFebruary 2015 | Volume 6 | Article 201 |Leach et al.Distinguishing schadenfreude and gloatingFIGURE 2 | Appraisals of agency, power, performance, and status, Study 1.

Thus, schadenfreude was characterized by appraisals that others, rather than the self, were the agent of the precipitating event. Schadenfreude was also unique in being experienced as a state of lower power and performance. Unlike, gloating, joy, and pride, the pleasure in schadenfreude was expressed somewhat furtively; there was less reportedsmiling and less glee, boasting, and flaunting of participants' pleasure. As well as being distinct from schadenfreude, gloating tended to be as pleasurable as joy ?the most pleasurable emotion we examined. Gloating and joy also tended to be about equal in openly expressing pleasure. This further confirms the intense pleasure of "making others suffer".Section of Figure 2, participant's appraisal that their feeling was caused by something "due to me" was affected by the emotion condition, F(3,104) = 60.46, p < 0.001, 2 = 0.636, with the lowest endorsement in the schadenp freude condition, all pairwise comparisons p < 0.001.
