\nAbstract:
\nStatistical evidence &ndash\; say\, that 95% of your co-workers badmouth each other &ndash\; can never render resenting your colleague appropriate\, in the way that other evidence (say\, the testimony of a reliable friend) can. The problem of statistical resentment is to explain why.
\nWe put the problem of statistical resentment in several wider contexts: The context of the problem of statistical evidence in legal theory\; the epistemological context &ndash\; with problems like the lottery paradox for knowledge\, epistemic impurism and doxastic wrongdoing\; and the context of a wider set of examples of responses and attitudes that seem not to be appropriately groundable in statistical evidence.
\nRegrettably\, we do not come up with a fully general\, fully adequate\, fully unified account of all the phenomena discussed. But we give reasons to believe that no such account is forthcoming\, and we sketch a somewhat messier account that may be the best that can be had here.
