Other's attainments.

Step-by-step explanation:

'Relative deprivation' is demonstrated as the theory that aims to describe the perceived insufficiency or lack of resources that are essential to maintain a standard quality of life as the people tend to decide the availability of resources relatively. Similarly, an individual's 'tendency for his/her personal happiness' is highly affected by 'other's attainments' in context of relative deprivation as people set their parameters of happiness relatively on the basis of other's possessions or attainments.
