  • To investigate the experience of sexual jealousy in a random community sample.
  • To explore gender differences in jealousy concerns and coping mechanisms.
  • To identify factors associated with heightened jealousy.

Main Methods:

  • Survey of a random community sample to assess jealousy experiences.
  • Inquiry into specific concerns (e.g., partner loss, relationship quality).
  • Analysis of coping strategies, demographic factors, and psychological correlates (e.g., self-esteem, psychiatric symptoms).

Main Results:

  • All subjects reported experiencing jealousy.
  • Men's jealousy focused on partner loss; women's on relationship impact.
  • Intense jealousy correlated with specific surveillance behaviors.
  • Men used denial/avoidance; women expressed distress/sought to enhance attractiveness.
  • Younger men, heavy drinkers, those with psychiatric symptoms, and individuals with lower self-esteem reported greater jealousy.
  • Relationship satisfaction was inversely correlated with jealousy.

Conclusions:

  • Sexual jealousy manifests differently in men and women within the community.
  • Factors like self-esteem, relationship satisfaction, and certain demographics influence jealousy.
  • Findings provide a foundation for understanding and addressing jealousy in clinical settings.
