“…Various thinkers in the humanities and the social sciences have tried to gain a better understanding of sexual jealousy. These include: philosophers (Neu, Note 1;Spinoza, 1979); sociologists (Bernard, 1977;Clanton & Smith, 1977;Davis, 1936;Wagner, 1976); psychiatrists and psychoanalysts (Barag, 1949;Brunswick, 1929;Chatterji, 1948;Docherty & Ellis, 1976;Fenichel, 1953;Freud, 1922;Hoaken 1976;Jones, 1929;Klein, 1957;Klein & Riviere, 1964;Lagache, 1950;Mooney 1965;Ping Nie Pao, 1969;Puras 1967;Riviere, 1932;Schechter, 1968;Wulff, 1951); developmental psychologists (Neill, 1960;Odel, Zav, & Zdravlje, 1975;Taviel de Andrade, 1969;Vollmer, 1946); humanistic psychologists (Ard, 1967;Blood & Blood, 1977;Constantine, 1976Constantine, , 1977Constantine & Constantine, 1971, 1973Denfield, 1974;Ellis, 1977;Hibbard, 1975;Mazur, 1973); personality psychologists (Bringle 1981;Bringle, Roach, Adler, & Evenbeck, Note 2;Bringle, Roach, Adler, & Evenbeck, 1979;…”

The paper presents a social-psychological approach to the empirical study of sexual jealousy, after surveying the philosophical, sociological, anthropological, psychoanalytic, and nonscientific literature on the subject. The social-psychological approach focuses on the environmental and situational factors that cause people to act in a jealous manner.One hundred and three men and women varying in age, length of relationship, and relationship style responded to a specially designed sexual jealousy inventory. Results indicated that jealousy is a negative physiological, emotional, and mental state, experienced at least at some point of their lives by all the subjects in the study. Numerous antecedents, correlates, and consequences of jealousy were investigated and discussed. Fifty-four percent of the subjects described themselves as "a jealous person" even when they had good situational reasons to feel less secure in the relationship and to experience jealousy, and even though this dispositional selfattribution has negative consequences for coping.Sexual jealousy has produced pathology, drama, and tragedy from time immemorial. A wide range of hostile, bitter, and painful events has been attributed to jealousy: Family murder followed by suicide (Goldney,

“…Preventive jealousy can be considered as equivalent to mate guarding. Similar phenomena in the psychological literature have been labeled suspicious jealousy by Bringle (1991), behavioral jealousy by Pfeiffer and Wong (1989), and unprovoked jealousy by Hoaken (1976). A focus upon the possibility of sexual and emotional involvement of one's partner with someone else, may also take the form of the more innerdirected anxious jealousy.…”

Abstract. Most studies on changes in female behavior and preferences across the menstrual cycle have been conducted in samples comprised of largely white undergraduate students from Western populations. The present study examined cyclical shifts in reactive, preventive and anxious jealousy in a sample of 71 Afro-Caribbean women from Curaçao, a country in the Caribbean. We expected that, because of the risk of conceiving, especially preventive jealousy would be relatively high when fertile to safeguard the male's protection, provisioning and investment. The results showed that, when fertile, women experienced indeed particularly more preventive jealousy, and also somewhat more anxious jealousy, but not more reactive jealousy, than when non-fertile. In addition, preventive jealousy was higher the later the age of the first menarche. We discuss possible explanations for the functionality of preventive jealousy during the fertile phase of the cycle, and for the functionality of such jealousy among women with a slow life history strategy.

“…A phenomenological overlap is believed to exist between Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and obsessional jealousy, including similarities of jealous ruminations with obsessions, unwelcome, unpleasant, repetitive, intrusive, and irrational thoughts recognized by the patient as ego dystonic (25).…”

Context: Obsessive jealousy is a highly disturbing disorder that is usually unrecognized, as most studies are concerned with delusional jealousy. The aim of the present article was to provide a narrative review of studies conducted on obsessional jealousy and associated factors. Evidence Acquisition: A literature search was conducted using electronic databases, including MEDLINE/Pubmed, g fmoonesi@yahoo.ca google scholar, Psycho INFO, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus for articles published between 1976 and April 2016. Results: The core of jealous concerns was found to be different between males and females. Patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) had greater concerns about their partner than healthy individuals. Studies suggested a phenomenological overlap between OCD and obsessional jealousy, for which anti-OCD treatment could be useful. Conclusions: Different terms were found for symptoms associated with obsessive jealousy, such as cognitive jealousy or neurotic jealousy. The term obsessional jealousy should be standardized in psychiatry reference books. It could be used in scales applied for diagnosis and evaluation of OCD.
