Abstract
We predicted that men's and women's jealousy and perceived threat from an interloper would vary as a function of the resources that a mate's extradyadic partner possessed. We found that men's jealousy did not vary as a function of the material resources possessed by a mate's extradyadic partner, although their reported level of threat did. Conversely, women's jealousy varied as a function of the reproductive resources that an extradyadic partner possessed, whereas their feelings of threat did not. The results of this study provide support for the contention that men and women make distinctions between jealousy and perceived threat to a primary relationship posed by a rival.
