“…We systematically searched 11 medical and social sciences databases (ASSIA (Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts), CENTRAL (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials), CINAHL (Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature), Embase (Excerpta Medica Database), IBSS (International Bibliography of the Social Sciences), Medline (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online), PsycINFO (Psychological Information), Social Policy and Practice, Social Services Abstracts, Sociological Abstracts and Web of Science) with key search terms related to IPV adapted from Cochrane protocols [ 28 , 29 ], and to infidelity or RJ adapted from previous reviews [ 15 , 30 , 31 ], and a scoping review of the literature (see Appendix A for our full search strategy). This review protocol is registered with the PROSPERO (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews) database (registration ID: CRD42019130697).…”

“…Findings from a recent systematic review on RJ in relationships, and studies on women’s experiences of IPV, indicate strong evidence of association between male RJ and physical, psychological and sexual male-to-female IPV (referred to as IPV here-on-out unless otherwise specified) [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. Bidirectional psychological IPV has also been found to be associated with higher levels of dominance and RJ in both men and women [ 18 , 19 ].…”

Infidelity and romantic jealousy (RJ) are commonly cited relational level drivers of intimate partner violence (IPV) but remain undertheorized and underutilized in IPV research and prevention. This global systematic review aims to characterize the existing research on real or suspected infidelity and RJ in relation to IPV and inform future research and programming. We systematically searched 11 databases for peer-reviewed research, published between April 2009 and 2019, that provided data on the prevalence or a measure of association (quantitative), or pathway (qualitative), between real or suspected infidelity or RJ, and IPV. Fifty-one papers from 28 countries were included and the evidence showed a consistent association between real or suspected infidelity, RJ and IPV. Our findings identify three overarching mechanisms and six pathways between infidelity, RJ and IPV. These provide support for prominent theories in the field related to patriarchal culture, threatened masculinities and femininities and a lack of emotional regulation and conflict resolution skills, but not evolutionary theories. Our findings suggest that researchers should use standardized measurement tools that make the distinction between RJ and suspected, confirmed and accusations of infidelity. Policy and programming should aim to transform traditional gender roles, accounting for infidelity and RJ and improving couple’s communication and trust.

“…Moreover, further research should include several questions related to the use of social networks such as Facebook or Snapchat, given the current importance of these communication media and the evocation of romantic jealousy (Dainton & Stokes, 2015;Utz et al, 2015) or to use parallel scales that evaluate them. In addition, it is necessary to confirm the relationships found in non-Colombian population with personal, interpersonal and sociocultural variables (Martínez-León et al, 2017) thereby continuing with the study of this important and complex human emotion…”

Romantic jealousy is one of the most complex emotions people experience in their relationships; people may reach high levels of violence as a result of pathological jealousy. This paper sought to adapt to Spanish language use and examine the psychometric properties of the Interpersonal Jealousy Scale (IJS). This scale evaluates the negative emotion resulting from actual or threatened loss of a loved one to a rival. We used a Colombian sample of 603 Colombian adults (59,03% women). Factor models were tested by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), in order to confirm the stability of the internal structure of the scale. The CFA supported the robustness of a one-dimensional structure with 18 items. Good internal consistency and evidence of external validity were found, as well as adequate adjustment parameters under the item response theory. In the analysis of the differential functioning of the items by sex, five items measured the different latent trait in men and women. The data indicate that the revised Spanish version of the IJS is a useful instrument to assess romantic jealousy.

“…Logo, desenvolveu maior sensibilidade ao ciúme emocional, que funcionaria como uma maneira de proteger o relacionamento de possíveis rivais (Easton et al, 2007;Sagarin et al, 2012;Bendixen et al, 2015;Yamamoto;Valentova, 2018). Seguindo esta linha, quando diante de potenciais rivais ou da infidelidade real, os homens apresentam maior interesse em saber sobre os as características físicas do rival, e as mulheres preocupam-se mais se houve envolvimento emocional entre o parceiro e a rival (Marazziti et al, 2010 (Buss et al, 1992;Guadagno, 2004;Edlund et al, 2006;Treger;Sprecher, 2011;Bendixen et al, 2015;Martínez-León et al, 2017;Buss, 2018). No entanto, alguns estudos que empregaram medidas contínuas não encontraram diferenças (DeSteno et al, 2002;Harris, 2003a;Green;Sabini, 2006;Sagarin et al, 2012).…”
