Height and jealousy over partner’s ex and a new rival among coupled men and women

Jealousy and anxiety in male domestic abusers: A comparative study

“…This helps to explain the finding that, when compared with the general population, only participants in the P Group indicated problems stemming out from jealousy, an aspect that has already been discussed by other scholars (Dossi et al, 2008;Elphinston et al, 2013). Thus, it can be inferred that the jealous behavior regarding the partner has an impact on the anxiety levels among the perpetrators, which are associated with the emergence of cognitive patterns indicative of jealousy, such as distrust, and the need to control and surveil which result in psychological aggression that precedes episodes of physical violence (Buss, 2000;Doğan, 2016;Pavela et al, 2014). Scholars have warned that these patterns are risk indicators for physical aggression (Arriaga, Capezza, Goodfriend, Rayl, & Sands, 2013;Cortez, Padovani, & Williams, 2005;Padovani & Williams, 2002;Walker, 2016).…”

“…Jealousy in romantic relationships is present in all societies and cultures and it involves a set of complex cognitive, emotional, physiological, and behavioral responses determined by a perceived threat to an intimate relationship by a rival, regardless of whether that threat is real or not (Elphinston, Feeney, Noller, Connor, & Fitzgerald, 2013;Gouveia, Silveira, Santos, Souza, & Belo, 2015;Pavela, Banai, & Šimic, 2014;Ramos, Yazawa, & Salazar, 1994). The diversity of such responses can be observed through the set of feelings associated with jealousy, such as anger, fear, sadness, excessive distrust, and may be accompanied by aggressive behavior (Buss, 2000;Doğan, 2016;Elphinston et al, 2013;Wigman, Graham-Kevan & Archer, 2008).…”

“…Jealousy can occur as a response to any perceived threats to relationships valued by those experiencing it (Pavela, et al, 2014), and as such it is one of the main causes of infidelity, divorce, Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), and femicide (Buss, 2000;Sheehan, Murphy, Moynihan, Dudley-Fennessey, & Stapleton, 2015). Buss (2000) indicates that the frequency with which jealousy is experienced or the emotions caused by a jealous episode do not differ between males and females.…”

“…Hence, the expression of jealousy and its emotions are not gender related. However, the consequences of jealous behavior are different for men and women, with jealousy-fueled violence being mainly directed at women (Pavela, et al, 2014). Therefore, the present study will focus on jealous behavior of men and its association with IPV.…”

Simmering on the Back Burner or Playing with Fire? Examining the Consequences of Back-Burner Digital Communication Among Ex-Partners

“…Although people tend to experience more jealousy toward new rivals than toward ex-partners, 14 exes may pose a greater threat to a current relationship. The prior existence of a relationship establishes an implicit precedent between ex-partners, which can make either partner appear available for future sexual contact.…”
