Abstract

<p xmlns="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/JATS1">Romantic jealousy is a multidimensional response to a perceived threat to one’s relationship or self-esteem and the specific emotions experienced in the process are complex and interrelated, affecting one another. Many researchers focus on jealousy-related sex differences, however there are few studies exploring gender-specific jealousy. The current study investigated whether individuals representing various types of biological sex and psychological gender differ in their experience and expression of romantic jealousy. The study involved 367 subjects (213 women, 154 men) ranging in age from 18 to 40 years. The assessments were carried out using the Psychological Gender Inventory based on gender schema theory, proposed by Bem, and the author’s own Questionnaire on the Emotion of Romantic Jealousy. The results of MANOVA showed associations between romantic jealousy and both biological sex and psychological gender, however efforts to save the relationship appear to be the only gender-differentiated response to jealousy. Those with a high level of feminine traits are more likely to take action to preserve their relationships. Overall negative emotions elicited by a partner’s infidelity are stronger in women and in feminine individuals. The results confirm it is necessary to take psychological gender into account in research focusing on jealousy. The findings, however, do not support claims suggesting that men and masculine individuals tend to respond with stronger aggression to a partner’s infidelity, as proposed in the literature.</p></span> </div> </div> <div id="ContentPlaceHolder1_divPublisher" class="publisher mt40"> <p class="font-bold font20">Publisher</p> <p class="color-gray2 mt10"> <span id="ContentPlaceHolder1_Labelpublisher">Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID)</span> </p> </div> <div id="ContentPlaceHolder1_divLink" class="link mt40"> <p class="font-bold font20">Link</p> <p id="ContentPlaceHolder1_divLink2" class="link-item color-gray2 mt10"><a href="https://spb.psychopen.eu/index.php/spb/article/download/4161/4161.pdf" target="_blank">https://spb.psychopen.eu/index.php/spb/article/download/4161/4161.pdf</a></p> </div> <div id="ContentPlaceHolder1_divReference" class="reference mt40"> <p class="font-bold font20">Reference<span class="reference-num"><span id="ContentPlaceHolder1_Labelreferencescount">48</span> articles.</span></p> <div id="ContentPlaceHolder1_divReference2" class="reference-item color-gray2 mt10"><p>1. <a href="/WebPortal/ArticleView?wd=068B97C88CE4CF5DA32C367C53EDCD8F22403773420DF1701143C0A10F27E86C" target="_blank">Antecedents in romantic jealousy experience, expression, and goals</a></p><p>2. <a href="/WebPortal/ArticleView?wd=1D7AD104DF47DEEBBDD72F73914922B1C2BCBDD81F5DF15DCB3E20E965BDFA13" target="_blank">Różnice międzypłciowe w zazdrości – perspektywa psychologii osobowości a perspektywa psychologii ewolucyjnej</a></p><p>3. <a href="/WebPortal/ArticleView?wd=3860211E45E775901AADFAB09500EBBB7B4DF32572D26678" target="_blank">The measurement of psychological androgyny.</a></p><p>4. <a href="/WebPortal/ArticleView?wd=3860211E45E77590AA4615FA84A2B01A67B984D1D6DAC4B83F5D721108C6A1EB" target="_blank">Gender schema theory: A cognitive account of sex typing.</a></p><p>5. <a href="/WebPortal/ArticleView?wd=3860211E45E775906993D8ABE82CDFA7AB2D5DCCA35715A3619308B96E351384" target="_blank">Gender schema theory and self-schema theory compared: A comment on Markus, Crane, Bernstein, and Siladi's 'Self-schemas and gender."</a></p></div> </div> <div id="ContentPlaceHolder1_divCited" class="cited mt40"> <p class="font-bold font20">Cited by<span class="reference-num"> <span id="ContentPlaceHolder1_LabelCitedcount">1</span> articles.</span> <span class="reference-num"> <a onclick="return confirm('您确定要订阅此论文施引文献吗?');" id="ContentPlaceHolder1_LinkButton3" class="mr15 color-wit line-h pl10 bg-red" href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$LinkButton3','')">订阅此论文施引文献</a> <span id="ContentPlaceHolder1_Label3">订阅此论文施引文献,注册后可以免费订阅5篇论文的施引文献,订阅后可以查看论文全部施引文献</span> <span id="ContentPlaceHolder1_lbMsg"></span> </span> </p> <div id="ContentPlaceHolder1_divCited2" class="reference-item color-gray2 mt10"><p>1. <a href="/WebPortal/ArticleView?wd=FA07B4B65EA61D199011E2C0CBF8241BDC4A9392C9BA20ADD933B5E6E930F688" target="_blank">Understanding Romantic Relational Aggression in Emerging Adults Using Latent Profile Analysis of Jealousy and Hostile Attribution Bias</a>;Psychological Reports;2024-08-04</p></div> </div> </div> </div> <!----------------------------------到这结束----------------------------------------> <!--main end--> </div> <input type="hidden" name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$HiddenField1" id="ContentPlaceHolder1_HiddenField1" value="9729BFCA968D9C844EE1878EFBD3AD122B2E9C189091B0D8" /> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <!--foot start--> <div class="box100 foot "> <div class="box1200 mau clearfix"> <div class="pt20 pb20 font24">同舟云学术</div> <div class="fl box50"> <div class="box100 clearfix"> <p class="foot-tip fl mr15 fun-btn"><span>1.学者识别</span>学者识别</p> <p class="foot-tip fl mr15 fun-btn"><span>2.学术分析</span>学术分析</p> <p class="foot-tip fl mr15 fun-btn"><span>3.人才评估</span>人才评估</p> </div> <p class="font12 pr40 pt20 pb20 color-gray">"同舟云学术"是以全球学者为主线,采集、加工和组织学术论文而形成的新型学术文献查询和分析系统,可以对全球学者进行文献检索和人才价值评估。用户可以通过关注某些学科领域的顶尖人物而持续追踪该领域的学科进展和研究前沿。经过近期的数据扩容,当前同舟云学术共收录了国内外主流学术期刊6万余种,收集的期刊论文及会议论文总量共计约1.5亿篇,并以每天添加12000余篇中外论文的速度递增。我们也可以为用户提供个性化、定制化的学者数据。欢迎来电咨询!咨询电话:010-8811<span style="font-size:0px;color:white">{复制后删除}</span>0370</p> <p class="color-gray"><b><a href="/">www.globalauthorid.com</a></b></p> </div> <div class="fr qerbox "> <p class="color-blue text-center pt20 pb10">TOP</p> <a href="#top" class="btn-top mau"><img src="/images/top.png" alt=""></a> </div> <div class="fr qerbox mr15"><img src="/images/code_web.png" alt=""></div> </div> <p class="pt20 pb20 text-center">Copyright © 2019-2024 北京同舟云网络信息技术有限公司<br> <a href="http://www.beian.gov.cn/portal/registerSystemInfo?recordcode=11010802033243" target="_blank">京公网安备11010802033243号</a>  <a href="https://beian.miit.gov.cn/#/Integrated/index" target="_blank">京ICP备18003416号-3</a></p> </div> <!--foot end--> </td> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html>
