Friendship Characteristics, Threat Appraisals, and Varieties of Jealousy About Romantic Partners’ Friendships
Interpersona | An International Journal on Personal Relationships interpersona.psychopen.eu | 1981-6472 Articles Friendship Characteristics, Threat Appraisals, and Varieties of Jealousy About Romantic Partners’ Friendships Timothy R. Worley* a, Jennifer Samp b [a] Murray State University, Murray, KY, USA. [b] Department of Communication Studies, University of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA. Abstract This study examined the role of friendship sex composition, friendship history, and threat appraisals in the experience of jealousy about a romantic partner’s involvement in extradyadic friendships. Using a survey, 201 individuals responded to scenarios describing a romantic partner’s involvement in a significant friendship outside the romantic dyad. A partner’s involvement in a cross-sex friendship was associated with greater perceptions of threat to both the existence and quality of the romantic relationship than was a partner’s involvement in a same-sex friendship. Further, the specific forms of jealousy experienced about partners’ friendships were dependent on the threat appraisals individuals associated with the friendships. Appraisals of relational existence threat mediated the influence of friendship characteristics (i.e., sex composition and history) on sexual jealousy and companionship jealousy, while appraisals of relational quality threat mediated the influence of friendship characteristics on intimacy jealousy, power jealousy, and companionship jealousy. This study points toward the central role of threat appraisals in mediating associations between rival characteristics and various forms of jealousy about a partner’s friendships. Keywords: jealousy, friendship, threat appraisals, cross-sex friendships Interpersona, 2014, Vol. 8(2), 231–244, doi:10.5964/ijpr.v8i2.169 Received: 2014-07-02. Accepted: 2014-10-29.

Virginia Ave. Reno, NV 89577 USA [email protected] Abstract This article features a review of communication scholarship about sex from the past two decades (2000-2020). A typo- graphic analysis of relevant research reveals 11 primary topic areas related to how interpersonal sexual communication is commonly researched in communication studies. Six of these topic areas are relationship-oriented in nature: flirting and initiation; pleasure and desire; sexual expectations; relational and sexual satisfaction; communication after sex; and negative aspects of sex and sexuality. Three of the topics are health-oriented in nature: sex education, especially in consideration of how parent-child talk happens in families; negotiation of safe sex practices; and sexual dysfunction. Finally, two of the topics are cultural in nature: social factors and influences; and media influences and representations. Scholarship is also reviewed in terms of theoretical commitments, with most research following sociopsychological or critical traditions but with a noteworthy number also embracing sociocultural or biological paradigms. -

Don't Ask, Must Tell- And Other Combinations Adam M. Samaha* & Lior Jacob Strahilevitz** The military's defunct Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy has been studied and debatedfor decades. Surprisingly, the question of why a legal regime would combine these particular rules for information flow has received little attention. More surprisingly still, legal scholars have provided no systemic account of why law might prohibit or mandate asking and telling. While there is a large literature on disclosure and a fragmented literature on questioning, considering either part of the information dissemination puzzle in isolation has caused scholars to overlook key considerations. This Article tackles foundational issues of information policy and legal design, focusing on instances in which asking and telling are either mandated or prohibited by legal rules, legal incentives, or social norms. Although permissive norms for asking and telling seem pervasive in law, the Article shows that each corner solution exists in the American legal system. -

The Relationship Between Forgiveness Tendency, Communication of Forgiveness, and Relationship Satisfaction in Married and Dating Couples Pavica Sheldon, Eletra Gilchrist-Petty, & James Adam Lessley Willingness to forgive is one of the most important factors contributing to healing and restoring damaged relationships. Although recent studies have emphasized the link between forgiveness and positive communication, this is among the first studies to exam- ine how tendency to forgive influences the strategies married and dating couples use to communicate forgiveness to each other. According to the Vulnerability-Stress-Adaptation model, links among vulnerabilities, stressors, and behaviors lead to changes in marital satisfaction and stability. -
Genital Herpes and Other Sexually Transmitted Diseases April Is STD Awareness Month
Genital herpes and other sexually transmitted diseases April is STD Awareness Month Genital herpes, caused by the herpes simplex type 1 and type 2 viruses, is a very common sexually transmitted disease (STD). Any person who is sexually active is at risk for getting herpes. In fact, most people with the virus don’t have any symptoms; however, even without symptoms, the disease can still be spread between sexual partners. According to the CDC, about one in every six people between the ages of 14 and 49 in the United States has genital herpes. Herpes is spread when someone has vaginal, anal, or oral sex with another person who has the disease. Generally, contact with the fluid in the sores can cause the infection. However, you can still get herpes from someone who is infected, even if they don’t have a visible sore. This is because the virus can be released through their skin. Symptoms Symptoms of herpes can be nonexistent or very mild. Sometimes this means that symptoms are mistaken for something else. Because of this, many people do not know they have herpes. When symptoms do occur, they usually show as sores that look like blisters on or around the genitals, rectum, or mouth. After the blisters break, they leave painful sores that can take weeks to heal. A person with herpes can have genital ulcers and develop lesions in other areas such as buttocks, groin, fingers, or eye. Herpes can also cause some rare but serious complications including blindness, encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), and aseptic meningitis (inflammation of the brain linings). -
Managing Relational Transgressions As Revealed on Facebook: the Influence of Dependence Power on Verbal Versus Nonverbal Responses
J Nonverbal Behav (2014) 38:477–493 DOI 10.1007/s10919-014-0197-x ORIGINAL PAPER Managing Relational Transgressions as Revealed on Facebook: The Influence of Dependence Power on Verbal Versus Nonverbal Responses Jennifer A. Samp • Caren E. Palevitz Published online: 9 August 2014 Ó Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014 Abstract Dependence power is defined by the control a less dependent partner is per- ceived to have by the more dependent individual in a close relationship. Guided by assumptions about dependence power, we examined how individuals manage perceived relational transgressions by partners on Facebook, distinguishing between face-to-face responses versus those that are expressed nonverbally (through monitoring or maintenance behaviors) on the site. Participants included 290 females and 210 males in a dating rela- tionship who completed measures of dependence power and Facebook use. Participants then viewed a screenshot reflecting a hypothetical Facebook partner transgression that varied by potential threat (high versus low). Finally, participants completed measures of perceived threat and a measure of responses to the transgression (monitoring and main- tenance). Dependence power was associated with perceptions of the threat of a trans- gression, the likelihood of confronting a partner face-to-face about the perceived transgression, and engaging in Facebook monitoring behavior after a perceived trans- gression. Dependence power was not significantly associated with maintenance responses. Keywords Social networking sites Á Relational transgressions Á Power Introduction The rise in the accessibility of social networking sites (SNS) such as Facebook has advanced the processes of relational initiation, maintenance, and monitoring efforts into the electronic sphere (Baym 2010; Bryant et al. -
