“…People respond to and cope with jealousy in a variety of ways (Buunk & Dijkstra, 2000;McIntosh & Matthews, 1992). Given a range of potential responses to jealousy, intentional induction may well be motivated in part by the informational value the partner's response to jealousy provides.…”

This study develops a general model of jealousy induction in romantic relationships. The model posits that the goals of jealousy induction predict jealousy-induction tactics, which in turn predict partner responses to jealousy, which in turn predict strategic outcomes. Measures were developed for this study to assess jealousy-induction goals, induction tactics, and strategic outcome (i.e., tactical efficacy). Exploratory factor analysis revealed two types of jealousy-induction goals (i.e., relational rewards, relational revenge), three types of jealousy-induction tactics (i.e., relational distancing, flirtation façade, relational alternatives), and three types of partner response to jealousy (i.e., aggressive, withdrawal, relational compensation). Using relational outcome variables representing tactical efficacy and relational improvement, structural equation modeling demonstrated partial support for the model, but with modifications to several components. Specifically, the jealousy responses did not function as a single latent variable, and were treated as individual indicators. Furthermore, the final model did not fit well statistically, but did fit very well according to the descriptive indices, for both males and females. The model provides a general framework for understanding strategic jealousy induction, and suggests a variety of paths for future work elucidating the role of jealousy in relational development and maintenance.

“…In addition to these nineteen mate retention tactics other categories also have been distinguished, for example avoidance of the spouse, reappraisal of the situation, and communication with the partner, in particular confronting the partner about the jealousy event (Buunk, 1982;McIntosh & Matthews, 1992). In the case of a relationship breakup due to a rival or romantic rejection, jealous individuals may also engage in stalking and unwanted pursuit (Davis, Ace, & Andra, 2002;Tassy & Winstead, 2014).…”
