Based on attachment theory, this study explore the relationship between father absence and benign/malicious envy, as well as the moderating mechanism. Results show that father absence negatively predicts benign envy and positively predicts malicious envy. Furthermore, social support mediates between father absence and benign envy, while core self-evaluation mediates the link between father absence and malicious envy. More importantly, father absence could influence malicious envy through the chain mediating path of ‘social support - core self-evaluation’. The results reveals the specific mechanism that helps to inhibit negative effects of father absence on envy, and enriched relative theories about envy.
