“…Several studies have shown that there are individual differences in the ways people experience and express jealousy based on personal characteristics such as attachment style (e.g., Guerrero, 1998;Radecki-Bush, Farrell, & Bush, 1993;Sharpsteen & Kirkpatrick, 1997), masculinity versus femininity (e.g. Aylor & Dainton, 2001), introversion (e.g., Tarrier, Becket, Harwood, & Ahmed, 1989), neurotism (e.g., Xiaojun, 2002), and love style (White & Mullen, 1989). These studies suggest that people are likely to respond to jealousy in ways that are consistent with more general patterns of behavior related to their personalities and communication styles.…”

Two independently conducted studies investigate the relations between jealousy‐related emotions and communicative responses. In Study 1, participants provided open‐ended accounts of specific jealousy episodes, from which descriptions of jealous communication were coded. Study 2 examined whether people tend to experience jealousy‐related emotion and use communicative responses to jealousy in systematic and related ways. Across both studies, fear and anger were central to the experience of jealousy. Various combinations of emotion predicted the different communicative responses to jealousy. For example, violent communication was predicted by high levels of hostility and low levels of guilt, while communication with the rival was predicted by high levels of passion and hostility. These results suggest that people are likely to express jealousy differently depending on the specific emotions they experience.

“…Empirical studies on jealousy and personality have particularly linked jealousy to personality characteristics such as insecurity and self-esteem, and have found that, as individuals are more insecure or have lower self-esteem, they report higher levels of jealousy (e.g., Jaremko & Lindsey, 1979;McIntosh, 1989;Mullen, 1994;Nadler & Dotan, 1992). Related, there is consistent evidence for a positive association between jealousy and neuroticism (e.g., Buunk, 1981Buunk, , 1997Dijkstra & Barelds, 2008;Mathes et al, 1982;Melamed, 1991;Tarrier et al, 1989;Xiaojun, 2002). An explanation that is often given for the positive relationship between neuroticism and jealousy and the negative relationship between self-esteem and jealousy is that neurotic and low self-esteem individuals (note that neuroticism is also negatively related to self-esteem; e.g., Dijkstra & Barelds, 2008) feel less adequate as a partner (cf.…”

“…Besides self-esteem and neuroticism, several other personality variables have been related to jealousy. For instance, jealousy has been found to be negatively related to personality characteristics such as extroversion (e.g., Mathes et al, 1982;Tarrier et al, 1989), rigidity (e.g., Buunk, 1997), and need for control (e.g., Brainerd et al, 1996). Although quite a few studies have related (types of) jealousy to personality characteristics, most studies have only examined a few isolated personality characteristics in relation to jealousy.…”

The present study set out to examine the relationships between ‘bright’ and ‘dark’ personality traits and three different types of jealousy: reactive jealousy (negative emotions in reaction to a partner’s infidelity), anxious jealousy (worrying about a partner’s infidelity), and preventive jealousy (the need to prevent a partner from having contact with others). In so doing, we used both a general broad personality questionnaire and a Dark Triad questionnaire for the assessment of personality. In a heterogeneous sample of 680 participants, it was found that neuroticism was positively related to anxious and preventive jealousy, and introversion and hostility to all three types of jealousy. Structure was related positively to reactive jealousy, and Machiavellianism and narcissism to preventive jealousy. These results are largely in line with our hypotheses. The Dark Triad traits were found to have incremental validity in the prediction of preventive jealousy, with Machiavellianism being the best predictor of preventive jealousy. This suggests that preventive jealousy might be a bit ‘darker’ than previously thought. Practical implications for dealing with jealousy in relationships are discussed.

“…Research shows that jealousy is associated with a variety of individual difference factors usually considered as negative or “bad.” Jealousy has been associated with low self-esteem, low self-confidence, low generalized trust, low empathy for others, loneliness, a need for approval, neuroticism, depression, and generalized hostility (Bringle, 1981; Buunk, 1997; Buunk & Dijkstra, 2000; Radecki-Bush, Farrell, & Bush, 1993; Rotenberg, Shewchuk, & Kimberley, 2001; Salovey & Rodin, 1985, 1989; Stieger, Preyss, & Voracek, 2012; Tarrier, Beckett, Harwood, & Ahmed, 1989; Thomas, Miller, & Warner, 1988). Evidence also has linked jealousy with differences in adult romantic attachment style, such that insecurely attached individuals (particularly the anxious insecure type) are more prone to experience jealousy than those with a secure attachment style (Guerrero, 1998; Harris, 2009; Sharpsteen & Kirkpatrick, 1997; White & Mullen, 1989).…”

This study confirmed a hypothesis from the Emotion-in-Relationships conceptual model, which predicts that greater interdependence between relationship partners—or closeness—creates the potential for jealousy. The study also sought to better define the positive side of romantic jealousy in addition to its more negative attributes. College students in premarital relationships (N = 229) completed a questionnaire, including 27 different measures and the Multidimensional Jealousy Scale. Select data were obtained from 122 cases at 3-month follow-up. Each jealousy scale was tested for associations with demographic (age, sex, and race), person (life satisfaction, loneliness, romantic attachment styles, love styles, and romantic beliefs), and relationship (affective, closeness, and social exchange theory) constructs. Results clearly distinguished emotional/reactive jealousy as mostly “good” and cognitive/suspicious jealousy as “bad.” Behavioral jealousy was associated with few measures. Implications are discussed for the interdependence model of relationships and the transactional model of jealousy.
