Beliefs about love and jealousy can be variables that influence violence against women. The aim of our reproduction of a United States study was to compare our data with those of the original study regarding the acceptance of violence related to jealousy. A total of 264 college students participated in the study. They heard and assessed two audio recordings ("jealousy" and "no jealousy"), but half heard situations in which the husband beat his wife and half situations in which the husband does not beat his wife. After each audio recording, participants answered six questions, among them: "how much the husband loves his wife" and "how long would the relationship last". It was observed that, aggression, in the case of "no jealousy", showed to have a negative meaning both in the United States study and in the present study, which was not observed in the case of "jealousy". It may be concluded that violence against women is a cultural practice in Brazil and that social rules regarding male honor, female submission and jealousy exert influence on this practice.Keywords: Jealousy; Love; Violence against women -Brazil. 526N.

Resumo: Ciúme e amor aparecem relacionados desde muito cedo na história da humanidade e ainda hoje observa-se essa relação. No entanto, praticamente não existem dados empíricos que apóiam a relação entre ambos. O artigo de Puente e Cohen, dois norte americanos, é um dos poucos que descreve estudos empíricos sobre essa relação. Como a presente pesquisa consistiu em uma replicação sistemática de um dos estudos desses autores, mantiveram-se os mesmos objetivos: verificar se as pessoas relacionam ciúme e amor e identificar se existe diferença nas respostas considerando o gênero do participante. A amostra foi constituída de 200 participantes, os quais foram apresentados a um texto descrevendo situações nas quais uma esposa interagia com um desconhecido e as reações dos maridos: um que apresentou ciúme frente à situação e o outro que não apresentou. Posteriormente responderam a uma escala Likert avaliando a reação de cada marido. De forma geral, confirmou-se a hipótese de que à medida que o comportamento da esposa se tornava mais provocativo, os participantes perceberiam a reação do marido ciumento como mais amorosa e favorável em comparação ao não ciumento. Os dados foram analisados a partir de conceitos como cultural, controle por regras e quadros relacionais. Abstract: Jealousy and love appear related since an early age in the history of humanity and such relationship has still been observed nowadays. However, there are virtually no empirical data to support the relationship between them. The article by Puente and Cohen, two North Americans, is one of the few that describes empirical studies about this relationship. As the present study consisted of a systematic replication from one of the studies by these authors, they were kept the same goals: to check if people relate jealousy and love and to identify if there is a difference in the responses considering the participant gender. The sample was consisted of 200 participants, who were presented to a text describing situations in which a wife interacted with a stranger and the husbands' reactions: one who had jealousy about the situation and the other who did not present. After, they should respond to a likert scale in which they evaluated the reaction of each husband. In general, it was confirmed the hypothesis that as wife's behavior got more provocative, the participants perceived the reaction of jealous husband as more loving and favorable compared to not jealous one. Data were analyzed from concepts such as culture, control by rules and relational framework. Palavras
