Problematic alcohol use, jealousy, and digital dating abuse: A dyadic analysis

Young adults engage in digital dating abuse (DDA), or threatening, monitoring, and controlling behavior towards a romantic partner through technology. Alcohol use and jealousy are well-established risk factors for in-person partner abuse but have not yet been investigated in couples in the context of DDA. Jealousy might be a relevant moderator in the digital context, potentially amplifying the negative associations between problematic alcohol use and DDA. Thus, we examine dyadic associations between young adults’ problematic alcohol use and DDA perpetration, with romantic jealousy as a moderator. Participants are young adult heterosexual couples ( N = 91 couples, M age = 21.03 years, 54.4% White, 19.2% Latino, 26.3% other). Results from actor-partner interdependence models suggest that men’s jealousy significantly moderates both the actor effect for men and the partner effect for women. In contrast, women’s jealousy significantly moderates the partner effects for both men and women. Men’s problematic alcohol use is a risk factor for their own DDA perpetration at high levels of jealousy and is a risk factor for their partner’s DDA perpetration across their own or their partner’s jealousy. Women’s problematic alcohol use is a risk factor for their partner’s DDA perpetration across levels of their jealousy. These findings underscore the importance of considering individual and relational factors in understanding DDA. The study highlights the need for dyadic interventions targeting problematic alcohol use and jealousy to prevent DDA. Future research should utilize longitudinal designs and diary studies to investigate in-the-moment processes and within-person variability.

Predicting relationship outcomes from rejection sensitivity in romantic couples: testing actor and partner effects

This study sought to test actor and partner effects of rejection sensitivity on romantic relationship outcomes. In total, 200 participants (100 mixed-sex couples; mean age = 36.17 ± 11.11 years) completed questionnaire measures at a single timepoint. After controlling for participant age and relationship duration, results showed that personal rejection sensitivity, but not partner rejection sensitivity, predicted self-report relationship outcomes for both men and women. Higher levels of rejection sensitivity were associated with lower levels of relationship satisfaction and relationship commitment, and higher levels of jealousy and self-silencing behaviour. Rejection sensitivity was unrelated to relationship investment. Multiple mediation models further demonstrated that anxious and avoidant attachment styles mediated associations between rejection sensitivity and relationship outcomes. Analyses of couple similarity in rejection sensitivity showed that couples report worse relationship outcomes when both partners score high on rejection sensitivity. Overall, the study provides evidence that rejection sensitivity has an important role in relationship outcomes among couples. Creating awareness of the role of rejection sensitivity in relationship outcomes might be a useful approach to improving relationship quality.

Romantic jealousy: a transcultural comparison between the United States, Colombia, and Mexico

Romantic jealousy, a complex and universal emotion found across cultures, is influenced by societal norms and stems from the actual or threatened loss of one’s partner to a rival. This study aimed to determine the transcultural equivalence of the Interpersonal Jealousy Scale across the United States, Colombia, and Mexico, and subsequently compare levels then to make comparisons of romantic jealousy. The research involved a total sample of 1,127 university students aged 18 to 23. Progressive factorial invariance analysis revealed a high degree of invariance for the 18-item unidimensional scale in all three countries. Asymmetry, kurtosis, and corrected total item correlation and reliability are also optimal. Significant differences were found between the total scores of the three countries, with Latin American countries being more similar to the US. Gender did not show a significant effect. The study identified that scenarios involving partner collaboration, receiving compliments, or shared interests with others resulted in lower jealousy levels. Conversely, situations related to reconnecting with old friends and possessiveness yielded varying responses, with the USA consistently displaying higher scores. The implications of these findings for future research are thoroughly discussed.

Sexual and emotional jealousy in relation to the facial sexual dimorphism of a potential rival

Background and purpose: Previous studies have shown that men are more sensitive to sexual infidelity, while women are more sensitive to emotional infidelity. Studies have also shown that jealousy is evoked by the rival’s desirable characteristics. Therefore, it was assumed that women would be more jealous of a woman with a feminine face, while men would report greater levels of jealousy when presented with a rival with a masculine face. It was also predicted that these expected differences would depend on the infidelity type – sexual and emotional. Based on this, the aim of this study was to investigate differences in jealousy in relation to participants’ sex, the type of infidelity and the rival’s facial sexual dimorphism. Materials and methods: The study included 401 (164 men and 237 women) participants, aged between 18 and 35. Jealousy was assessed by using hypothetical scenarios of a partner’s emotional and sexual infidelity that involved rivals with a masculine and feminine face. Participants reported the intensity of jealousy on a 7-point scale. Results and conclusions: As predicted, men reported higher levels of jealousy over sexual, whereas women were more upset over emotional infidelity. Moreover, while there was no difference in jealousy among men in relation to the rival’s facial sexual dimorphism, women reported a higher intensity of jealousy toward a rival with a feminine face, regardless of the infidelity type. These results are interpreted by different adaptive mechanisms in men and women.

Legal Certainty for the Provision of Employee Services as the Intent of Protection of Labor Rights based on Labor Rights and Its Implementation in PT. Semen Padang

Outsourcing was born as a side effect of the implementation of business process reengineering (BPR). Another problem that arises from outsourcing practices is the elimination of labor rights by employers. Based on the Constitutional Court Decision (MK Decision No. 27 / PUU-IX / 2011), the Court emphasized that Outsourcing is a reasonable business policy of a company in the context of business efficiency. However, workers who carry out work in an outsourcing company may not lose their rights which are protected by the constitution. Following up on the Constitutional Court Decision, the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration has issued Circular Letter Number B.31 / PHIJSK / I / 2012 concerning Implementation of the Constitutional Court Decision Number 27 / PUU-IX / 2011 dated January 17, 2012. Based on this, there are 3 (three ) The legal issues that the author will examine are: (1) How is the suitability of the implementation of the provision of worker services at PT. Semen Padang with the applicable law; (2) How to fulfill workers' rights in the implementation of Worker Service Provision at PT. Semen Padang; and (3) What are the negative and positive consequences of the implementation of the Provision of Worker Services on workers' rights at PT. Semen Padang. This exploratory research reveals how the application of legal norms from Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower and Regulation of the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration Number 19 of 2012 concerning Requirements for Submission of Part of Work Implementation to other companies at PT. Semen Padang. From the results of the study concluded that: (1) Implementation of the provision of employee services at PT. Semen Padang has not complied with the applicable law. On the one hand, PT. Semen Padang has implemented the provisions of Article 66 paragraph (3) of the Manpower Act. PT. Semen Padang has set one of the most basic requirements, namely the vendor must have an Operational Permit (SIO) for Manpower Providers issued by the Department of Manpower (Disnaker) of West Sumatra Province. PT Semen Padang has also complied with the provisions of Article 17 Paragraph (3) of the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration No. 19 of 2012. On the other hand, PT. Semen Padang still uses worker service providers for jobs that are not regulated in Article 17 of the 2012 Minister of Manpower Regulation or even doing work that should be done by employees of PT Semen Padang itself; (2) The fulfillment of the rights of outsourcing workers at PT Semen Padang has been carried out quite well, where this can be proven by PT Semen Padang providing legal protection to Outsourcing Workers through the Decree of the Board of Directors of PT.Semen Padang No. 0000143 / HK.00.02 / SKD / 50003853/3000 / 12.2017 dated 21 December 2017 concerning Changes in the Value Structure of PT Semen Padang's Outsourcing Labor Contract, and (3) Implementation of Provision of Worker Services at PT. Semen Padang has negative consequences and positive consequences. The negative consequence is the high level of jealousy of the outsourcing workers towards organic workers, both in terms of the type of work performed, the uniforms worn, and differences in workers' rights. One of the positive consequences of employing outsourcing workers, labor costs can be reduced in one way through the provision of worker services.

044 Sexual and Emotional Affairs: Does Friendship Matter?

There are asymmetries in the amount of time it takes for an individual to reproduce (Trivers, 1972). For example, because of internal gestation, the minimum amount of time it takes for females to reproduce is vastly greater than it is for males. This internal gestation in females can also compromise the certainty of a male’s paternity in offspring. Due to these asymmetries, reproductive strategies differ somewhat for males and females. These differences manifest in a variety of ways, but specifically influence how jealousy is experienced towards a partner’s potential infidelities. Previous research has shown that women experience greater jealousy at the thought of a romantic partner having an emotional affair than do men, while men experience greater jealousy at the thought of a romantic partner having a sexual affair (Buss, Larsen, Westen, & Semmelroth, 1992). However, no research to date has investigated how infidelities between a partner and a close same-sex friend relate to levels of upset in men and women. Because affairs often occur with close friends of a couple, it is important to understand how friendship might influence levels of jealousy experienced towards partner infidelities.

Jealousy in women with migraine: a cross-sectional case-control study

BackgroundEstrogen influences susceptibility to migraine attacks and it has been suggested to affect jealousy in romantic relationships in women. Therefore, we hypothesized that migraine women may be more jealous.MethodsJealousy levels and hormonal status were determined based on a cross-sectional, web-based, questionnaire study among female migraine patients and controls. A random sample of participants was selected from a validated migraine database. Participants with a serious and intimate monogamous relationship were included (n = 498) and divided into the following subgroups: menstrual migraine (n = 167), non-menstrual migraine (n = 103), postmenopausal migraine (n = 117), and premenopausal (n = 57) and postmenopausal (n = 54) controls. The primary outcome was the difference in mean jealousy levels between patients with menstrual migraine, non-menstrual migraine and premenopausal controls. Results were analyzed with a generalized linear model adjusting for age, relationship duration and hormonal status (including oral contraceptive use). Additionally, the difference in jealousy levels between postmenopausal migraine patients and controls was assessed. Previous research was replicated by evaluating the effect of combined oral contraceptives on jealousy.ResultsJealousy levels were higher in menstrual migraine patients compared to controls (mean difference ± SE: 3.87 ± 1.09, p = 0.001), and non-menstrual migraine patients compared to controls (4.98 ± 1.18, p < 0.001). No difference in jealousy was found between postmenopausal migraine patients and controls (− 0.32 ± 1.24, p = 0.798). Women using combined oral contraceptives were more jealous compared to non-users with a regular menstrual cycle (2.32 ± 1.03, p = 0.025).ConclusionYoung women with migraine are more jealous within a romantic partnership.

A Cock in the Henhouse

Abstract. The present study’s primary aim was to examine the effect of an imbalanced sex ratio on the Dark Triad traits, three types of jealousy, and their relations. For this purpose, data were collected in the Netherlands ( n = 297) and Curaçao ( n = 199). Curaçao is a constituent part of the Netherlands, but has, contrary to the Netherlands, a highly imbalanced sex ratio. We expected the Dark Triad traits to be positively related to anxious and preventive jealousy, but not to reactive jealousy (Hypothesis 1), and, in addition, these relations to be more pronounced in Curaçao than in the Netherlands (Hypothesis 2). Furthermore, it was expected that Curaçaoan men would score higher on the Dark Triad traits than Dutch men (Hypothesis 3), and that Curaçaoan men and women would, overall, report higher levels of jealousy than Dutch men and women (Hypothesis 4). Results largely supported Hypotheses 1, 2, and 4, but not Hypothesis 3. Results are discussed in relation to the role of sex ratio and the cultural beliefs that may accompany it. The current study’s findings may provide new insights into the role of the Dark Triad traits in mating psychology.

Różnice międzypłciowe w zazdrości – perspektywa psychologii osobowości a perspektywa psychologii ewolucyjnej

&lt;p&gt;Celem badania było określenie, czy różnice w zazdrości wynikają raczej z płci metrykalnej (co jest zgodne ze stanowiskiem psychologii ewolucyjnej) czy z płci psychologicznej (co jest zgodne ze stanowiskiem psychologii osobowości). Dodatkowo sprawdzono, czy obie płcie przeżywają silniejszą zazdrość seksualną w sytuacji pomiaru na skali ilościowej. Na potrzeby badań skonstruowano ankietę mierzącą poziom przeżywania poszczególnych emocji składowych i zarazem ogólne natężenie zazdrości w sytuacji hipotetycznej zdrady emocjonalnej i seksualnej. Oparto się przy tym na modelu zazdrości zaproponowanym przez G.L. White’a i P.E. Mullena. Zastosowano także Inwentarz do Oceny Płci Psychologicznej A. Kuczyńskiej. Badaniem objętych zostało 100 osób (68 kobiet i 32 mężczyzn), które w trakcie prowadzenia badań pozostawały w heteroseksualnym związku partnerskim. Analiza wykazała, że obie płcie przeżywają silniejsze emocje (gniew, smutek, zawiść) w przypadku zdrady seksualnej niż emocjonalnej. Wymiar kobiecości psychologicznej nasilał ogólny poziom zazdrości oraz większość jej emocji składowych, wymiar męskości zaś osłabiał lęk, smutek i winę. Dodatkowo okazało się, że w interakcji płci metrykalnej i psychologicznej to płeć psychologiczna ma znaczenie dla przeżywania emocji w przypadku zazdrości.&lt;/p&gt;

Male Sexual Jealousy: Lost Paternity Opportunities?

Numerous studies have shown that men experience relatively greater levels of jealousy in response to the sexual aspects of an infidelity (relative to women), whereas women experience relatively greater levels of jealousy in response to the emotional aspects of an infidelity (relative to men). The traditional explanation for this relationship suggests that men experience this greater level of jealousy due to threats of a loss of paternal certainty. In this article, we present three studies that demonstrate that men's differentially greater jealousy occurs in response to situations that threaten paternity opportunities. These results suggest that a loss of perceived paternity opportunities is the ultimate origin of men's increased jealousy in response to sexual infidelity.

Jealousy at work: The role of rivals' characteristics.

The present study examined rival characteristics that may evoke jealousy in the workplace, differences between men and women in this regard, and the relationship between jealousy responses and intrasexual competitiveness and social comparison orientation. Participants were 426 male and female employees. By means of a questionnaire, participants were presented with a jealousy-evoking scenario after which jealousy responses to 24 rival characteristics were assessed. Findings showed that a rival's social communal attributes evoked highest levels of jealousy, and that, compared to men, women reported more jealousy in response to a rival's physical attractiveness. Overall, as individuals had higher scores on intrasexual competitiveness and social comparison orientation, they also experienced more jealousy in response to their rival, regardless of his or her characteristics. These findings suggest that those characteristics that are highly valued in employees may backfire when employees perceive co-workers as rivals.

Intrasexual Competition and Sexual Response in Androphilic Women

Androphilic (sexually attracted to men) women demonstrate genital and self-reported arousal to sexual stimuli of both their preferred and non-preferred genders - a “gender-nonspecific” sexual response (e.g., Chivers et al, 2007). One hypothesis for female non-specific arousal patterns is intrasexual competition (the rivalry among the same sex for mates). Previously intrasexual competition has been operationalized as the level of jealousy a woman feels towards another woman. Intrasexual competition has been found to increase attentional adhesion to same sex stimuli (Maner, Gilliot &amp; Roudy, 2007) The Information Processing Model (IPM; Janssen et al, 2000) posits that visual attention to sexual cues may result in a sexual response. Longer viewing times to same sex stimuli motivated by intrasexual competition (Maner et al., 2007) could therefore lead to an increase in self-reported arousal to non-preferred stimuli. This study explores the relationship between traits associated with intrasexual competition and sexual responding (visual attention and self-reported sexual arousal).&#x0D; Androphilic women are exposed to sexual stimuli varying by gender (preferred, non-preferred) and physical attractiveness level (attractive, unattractive). Visual attention is measured using an eye tracker and sexual arousal is assessed by participant self-report. Intrasexual competition is operationalized through measures of self-reported jealousy, anger, indirect aggression, and body image. I predict the participants will exhibit greater intrasexual competition after viewing images of attractive women compared to images of unattractive women and men. I also explore visual attention as a mediator between intrasexual competition and self-reported sexual arousal. Data collection for this project is currently underway.&#x0D; Chivers, M. L., Seto, M.

Jealousy and relationship satisfaction among Indonesian dating adults.

This study aimed to explore the link between jealousy and relationship satisfaction among dating adults in Indonesia. A survey of 150 adults showed that, while the overall level of jealousy was not significantly correlated with relationship satisfaction, correlations exist between relationship satisfaction and certain aspects of jealousy.

Interacción Por Sexo Y Consumo De Alcohol En El Nivel De Celos E Infidelidad De Estudiantes De Licenciatura De La UAEH

The gradual increase of alcohol consumption in college students has become a public health problem at global and national level. Among the psychosocial consequences of this consumption is an increase in violence levels in dating relationships, mediated by factors such as jealousy and infidelity. Objective: to determine the interaction by sex and level of risk in alcohol consumption levels on jealousy and infidelity levels in college students. Material and Methods: 131 students were selected a nonprobabilistic convenience sampling. The age was from 17 to 23, M= 19.81, SD=1.89. 61.1% were women and 38.9% men. The Questionnaire Disorders Identification due to Alcohol Consumption (AUDIT), Multidimensional Inventory Jealousy (EMUCE) and Inventory Multidimensional Infidelity (IMIN) were used. They were conducted descriptive analyzes and factorial ANOVA 2x2. Results: Of the factorial ANOVA, indicate that women are more likely to feel greater levels of jealousy, while there is no difference between the level of infidelity in men and women. Conclusion: There are differences in sexuality as a reason for infidelity, saying that men without risk in consumption have lower levels in this factor than average risk women

Touch reduces romantic jealousy in the anxiously attached

Feelings of jealousy are usually detrimental to relationships, often resulting in negative outcomes ranging from conflict to violence and relationship dissolution. Anxiously attached individuals are especially prone to jealousy in their relationships and are therefore especially likely to experience negative outcomes of jealousy. In this research, we examined the effectiveness of both touch and a traditional security prime as a potential means of reducing feelings of jealousy for individuals who are high in anxious attachment. Individuals in romantic relationships were induced to feel jealous, during which time they were randomly assigned to receive affectionate touch from their partners, a traditional nontouch security prime, or no intervention (control). Results revealed that anxious attachment was associated with high levels of jealousy, and touch was an effective buffer against jealous feelings for individuals high in anxious attachment. The traditional security prime did not buffer jealous feelings. Implications of results for potential relationship interventions are discussed.

Developing the Spouse Emotional Jealousy Scale

The Spouse Emotional Jealousy Scale (SEJS) has been developed in order to measure spousal jealousy levels of married individuals in the frame of this study. In the process of developing the SEJS, which is the aim of this study, data was gathered from married people living in Ankara. SPSS and LISREL 8.7 were used for data analysis. After exploratory factor analysis of 267 individual analyses, confirmatory factor analysis was carried out with data gathered from 303 individuals. The ensemble of the model’s coefficients are (?2 204= 600,988, p = .00, ?²/sd = 2.95, GFI = .84, AGFI = .80, NFI = .87, CFI = .91, RMSEA = 0.08). SEJS’s reliability was tested on two separate sets of data: Firstly, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the scale was found to be .95 in the analysis carried out on the set of data gathered from 267 individuals; this was also found to be .95 for the set of data gathered from 303 individuals. Secondly, the split half-test reliability was analyzed. The coefficient between the analyses of 267 individuals and 303 individuals was calculated as .93 for the one with 267 individuals and .92 for the one with 303 individuals. SEJS’s validity and reliability show that the scale has the ability to measure spouses’ levels of emotional jealousy validly and reliably.

Attractive rivals may undermine the expectation of career advancement and enhance jealousy. An experimental study

This experiment with 119 adult females examined the effect of a rival’s attractiveness on jealousy and career advancement expectations in a simulated work setting where individuals had to compete for a job promotion. We hypothesized that an attractive rival would evoke relatively more jealousy and lower career advancement expectations, especially in individuals high in Intrasexual Competitiveness (ISC). In addition, we examined the moderating effects of characteristics attributed to the rival in terms of popularity, professionalism, and unfriendliness. The results showed that, overall, an attractive rival induced more jealousy and lower career advancement expectations than an unattractive rival. Especially among women who attributed unfriendliness to their rival, the attractiveness of the rival induced higher levels of jealousy and lower career advancement expectations. Among women high in ISC, the rival’s attractiveness induced lower career advancement expectations. It is recommended that managers and human resource officials pay particular attention to how physical attractiveness may interfere with female employees’ professional development, and to the important role of emotions in the workplace.

Rejection Sensitivity, Jealousy, and the Relationship to Interpersonal Aggression

The development and maintenance of interpersonal relationships lead individuals to risk rejection in the pursuit of acceptance. Some individuals are predisposed to experience a hypersensitivity to rejection that is hypothesized to be related to jealous and aggressive reactions within interpersonal relationships. The current study used convenience sampling to recruit 247 young adults to evaluate the relationship between rejection sensitivity, jealousy, and aggression. A mediation model was used to test three hypotheses: Higher scores of rejection sensitivity would be positively correlated to higher scores of aggression (Hypothesis 1); higher scores of rejection sensitivity would be positively correlated to higher scores of jealousy (Hypothesis 2); jealousy would mediate the relationship between rejection sensitivity and aggression (Hypothesis 3). Study results suggest a tendency for individuals with high rejection sensitivity to experience higher levels of jealousy, and subsequently have a greater propensity for aggression, than individuals with low rejection sensitivity. Future research that substantiates a link between hypersensitivity to rejection, jealousy, and aggression may provide an avenue for prevention, education, or intervention in reducing aggression within interpersonal relationships.
