  • Attachment Styles and Jealousy Induction in Romantic Relationships
    Waking the Green-Eyed Monster: Attachment Styles and Jealousy Induction in Romantic Relationships DIANE WHITSON Although the majority of individuals involved in romantic relationships report having experienced jealousy, relatively little research has examined what factors Saint Louis University lead individuals to attempt to induce jealousy in their romantic partners. We examined how adult attachment is related to individuals’ jealousy-induction * BRENT A. MATTINGLY tendencies. Results indicated that (a) jealousy-induction was positively related to both attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance, (b) specific attachment styles Ashland University (i.e., secure, preoccupied, dismissing, fearful) were not associated with more or fewer jealousy-inducing behaviors, and (c) women tend to induce jealousy more than men. Because jealousy is negatively associated with relationship satisfaction, these findings suggest that insecurely attached individuals’ behaviors may actually be counterproductive in that they are unintentionally making their partners less happy with the relationship. any people can think of a friend or previous have paternal uncertainty (i.e., they are never guaran- romantic partner who has purposely induced teed that a woman’s child is truly their offspring), there Mjealousy in a partner.

  • 1 Rethinking Jealousy Experience and Expression
    Rethinking Jealousy Experience and Expression: An Examination of Specialness Meaning Framework Threat and Identification of Retroactive Jealousy Responses Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jessica Renee Frampton Graduate Program in Communication The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Dr. Jesse Fox, Advisor Dr. Kelly Garrett Dr. Shelly Hovick Dr. Roselyn Lee-Won 1 Copyrighted by Jessica Renee Frampton 2019 2 Abstract Extant jealousy models predict jealousy is a response to perceiving a partner’s current or anticipated involvement with a rival as threatening to a relationship’s existence, relational benefits, or self-esteem (e.g., Guerrero & Andersen, 1998; White & Mullen, 1989). Those three threats may explain cases of reactive jealousy, which occurs in response to a partner’s unambiguous involvement with a current rival (Barelds & Barelds-Dijkstra, 2007; Bringle, 1991), but they likely cannot explain cases of retroactive jealousy. Retroactive jealousy entails a negative response to information about a partner’s prior romantic or sexual experiences that occurred before the primary relationship began (Frampton & Fox, 2018b). This type of jealousy is evoked even though the partner is not perceived to be currently romantically or sexually involved with ex-partners. This difference in the nature of retroactive jealousy makes it difficult for current jealousy models to predict retroactive jealousy experience and expression. Two studies were conducted to further explore retroactive jealousy experience and expression. Study 1 experimentally tested predictions about threat to a specialness meaning framework derived from the meaning maintenance model (MMM; Heine, Proulx, & Vohs, 2006; Proulx & Inzlicht, 2012) alongside of predictions about threat to the relationship’s existence, relational benefits, and self-esteem.

  • Sex Differences in Feelings of Guilt Arising from Infidelity
    Evolutionary Psychology www.epjournal.net – 2008. 6(3): 436-446 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Original Article Sex Differences in Feelings of Guilt Arising from Infidelity Maryanne Fisher, Department of Psychology, St. Mary’s University, Halifax, Canada. Email: [email protected] (Corresponding author) Martin Voracek, Department of Basic Psychological Research, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria P. Vivien Rekkas, Department of Psychology, University of Toronto (Scarborough), Toronto, Canada Anthony Cox, Centre for Psychology and Computing, Halifax, Canada Abstract: Although there is extensive literature regarding sex differences in jealousy due to infidelity, guilt resulting from infidelity remains unexplored. We hypothesize that men will feel guiltier from imagined emotional rather than sexual infidelity, as it is most important for their partner’s reproductive success. Similarly, we predict that women will feel more guilt from imagined sexual rather than emotional infidelity. The findings indicate a different pattern; men feel guiltier following sexual infidelity, whereas women feel guiltier following emotional infidelity. Results also show that both sexes believe their partners would have a more difficult time forgiving sexual, rather than emotional, infidelity, but women and not men report that sexual infidelity would more likely lead to relationship dissolution. These findings are discussed in view of evolved mating strategies and individual reproductive success. Keywords: infidelity, sex differences, guilt, mate selection. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Introduction Infidelity in romantic relationships is far from rare; recent national surveys of Americans have documented that between approximately 20 to 25% of respondents report at least one sexual affair during their lifetime (Atkins, Baucom, and Jacobson, 2001; Laumann, Gagnon, Michael, and Michaels, 1994). All infidelity is not the same, however, as women and men apparently do not perceive their affairs in an equivalent manner.

Animal Sentience 2018.158: Webb & de Waal on Cook et al. on Dog Jealousy Situating the study of jealousy in the context of social relationships Commentary on Cook et al. on Dog Jealousy Christine E. Webb & Frans B. M. de Waal Department of Psychology, Emory University Abstract: Whereas the feelings of other beings are private and may always remain so, emotions are simultaneously manifested in behavior, physiology, and other observables. Nonetheless, uncertainty about whether emotions can be studied adequately across species has promoted skepticism about their very presence in other parts of the animal kingdom. Studying social emotions like jealousy in the context of the social relationships in which they arise, as has been done in the case of animal empathy, may help dispel this skepticism. Empathy in other species came to be accepted partly because of the behavioral similarities between its expression in nonhuman animals and humans, and partly because of the neurological parallels. Non-invasive brain imaging results like those reported in the target article can thus help integrate human and animal emotions within an evolutionary framework — but the social context underlies precise definitions of the phenomenon.

  • The Self-Conscious Emotions
    EMOTIONS The Self-Conscious Emotions Michael Lewis, PhD Institute for the Study of Child Development, UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Child Health Institute, USA September 2011 Introduction 1 Until recently, the self-conscious emotions have been poorly studied. Little research on their meaning, how they develop, and how individual differences arises have been conducted, even though Charles Darwin 2 discussed them in some detail as far back as his book, The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. Darwin’s observations were not followed up by neither psychoanalysis nor developmental psychopathology until about 40 years ago. In part, this was due to Freud’s focus on guilt and on the confusion between such self- conscious emotions as embarrassment, guilt and shame. In fact, Darwin’s observations and theorizing were not able to differentiate these different self-conscious emotions, in large part due to his measurement of the self- conscious emotions, where he used blushing behaviour. While blushing is a useful behaviour to measure, many people do not blush. Moreover, blushing is a measure of self reflection in the presence of other people, most noticeable embarrassment, but is not a measure of all the other self-conscious emotions such as shame, guilt or pride. While Darwin recognized the role of a person’s thoughts, especially around the emotion of embarrassment, he did not use cognitive capacities as a way to differentiate between them. Subject Michael Lewis, in his studies of the origins of the self-conscious emotions, makes the point that to understand the ontogenesis of these emotions in children, it is necessary to consider the cognitive development of the child 3,4 which likely give rise to them.

  • Current Research in Social Psychology
    CURRENT RESEARCH IN SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY Volume 5, Number 17 Submitted: July 25, 2000 Resubmitted: August 4, 2000 Accepted: August 25, 2000 Publication date: August 25, 2000 ON PREDICTING RELATIONSHIP SATISFACTION FROM JEALOUSY: THE MODERATING EFFECTS OF LOVE Jeremy W. Dugosh University of Texas at Arlington ABSTRACT Researchers in the interdisciplinary research area of close relationships have recently had a renewed interest in relationship satisfaction and its causes. In some of the several recent studies that have looked at the determinants of relationship satisfaction, a positive link between jealousy and relationship satisfaction has, somewhat counterintuitvely, been found. Other studies have likewise shown a negative relationship between jealousy and relationship satisfaction such that as one's level of jealousy increases, his or her satisfaction decreases. In an effort to clarify this seemingly conflicting evidence, data was collected from a sample of 134 currently dating heterosexual participants. The participants completed self-report measures of relationship satisfaction, jealousy, and love. Moderated multiple regression analyses were conducted on the data. It was found that level of jealousy alone is a fair predictor of relationship satisfaction. However, this relationship is qualified by a significant interaction between jealousy and love. In other words, jealousy can predict relationship satisfaction, but this relationship depends on how much one loves his or her partner. Implications of the results and potential problems with the study are discussed. [254] --------------- [255] INTRODUCTION In recent years, researchers in the interdisciplinary field of close relationships have increasingly focused their attention on satisfaction in romantic relationships and its causes (Hendrick and Hendrick 1989; Rusbult 1980 1983; Rusbult, Verette, Whitney, Slovik, and Lipkus 1991;Wess and Hyman 1990; Yovetich and Rusbult 1994).

Romantic jealousy is an important phenomenon in public health, as it brings consequences for the subject, the couple and the rival, even to the point of death. This theory-based study performed a systematic review of the re- search published in major international databases and platforms, as of December, 2016. The results of 230 studies that met the inclusion criteria were classified in pursuance of the variables associated with jealousy: a) personal variables (differences in sex, sexual orientation, hormones / use of contraceptives, self-esteem, attachment style and use of alcohol); b) interpersonal variables (romantic love, satisfaction and violence); c) sociocultural variables (transcultural comparisons, features of the rival and social networks). Future studies, with sufficient statistical robustness, should achieve a clinical formulation that indicates the relevance and predictive power of each variable.
