Abstract

A review of experimental research on jealousy showed further research is required to understand the concept beyond a listing of basic differences in self-report. An analogue study of the coping abilities of people high and low in jealousy was conducted. Using the stress of intimate self-disclosure, individuals high and low in jealousy were able to use a cognitive coping strategy equally well. Alternative rival hypotheses are reviewed. Other results replicated previous findings that the jealous person tends to be more anxious, lacking in self-esteem, and possibly more depressed.
