“…This then explains the prior concentration on individual emotions. For example, Jaremko and Lindsey ( 1979) and White ( 198 1 ), among many others, studied jealousy that way. Social constructionists have added participant observation and intensive interviewing as a way to study emotions.…”

Although social constructionists now study emotions, they neglect what emotion feels like and how it is experienced. This paper argues that social constructionists can and should study how private and social experience are fused in felt emotions. Resurrecting introspection (conscious awareness of awareness or self‐examination) as a systematic sociological technique will allow social constructionists to examine emotion as a product of the individual processing of meaning as well as socially shared cognitions. Examining introspection as a sociological process, this paper argues that introspection can generate interpretive materials from self and others useful for understanding the lived experience of emotions. Findings from four studies–one, self‐introspective, and the other three, interactive introspective examinations with co‐investigators–provide information about the subjective part of emotion. They demonstrate the advantages of introspection in dealing with the complex, ambiguous, and processual nature of emotional experience.

“…The role of dispositional selfesteem has been demonstrated only inconsistently At best, standard, global self-esteem scales are moderately associated with jealousy or envy (Aronson & Pines, 1980;Bringle, 1981;Hupka & Bachelor, 1979, Jaremko & Lindsey, 1979, Manges & Evenbeck, 1980. Sometimes, these correlations are near zero (Buunk, 1982, Mathes & Several, 1981White, 1977White, , 1981bsee Bringle &Buunk, 1985, andMullen, 1989, for a more thorough description of the dispositional correlates of jealousy).…”

In two studies, feelings of jealousy and envy in a life domain were reliably associated with (a) the importance of the domain to oneself, (b) the degree to which one assesses actual performance in a domain as not measuring up to ideal expectations, and (c) low global self-esteem. The first study reported results tram a survey of 6,482 readers of a national magazine. A more conventional sample ol 220 adults drawn from the local community participated in the second, replication study. The results suggest the value of self-evaluation maintenance theory and self-discrepancy theory lor understanding situations that provoke jealousy and envy, and the nature of these complex emotional experiences. Individuals are often confronted by situations in which another's pos sessions or attributes threaten their self-worth or challenge the exclu sivity of a close relationship. Envy is the term most often used to de scribe the displeasure one feels at the perception of another's superior ity, in particular, a superior advantage that one would like to have for oneself. When one perceives that the superior advantage of a rival threatens the stability of a close relationship, jealousy flares. JealousyWe would like to thank John D Mav er, Paula M Niedenthal, C R Snyder, and several anonymous reviewers for their comments on earlier drafts of this paper We are very grateful to Timothy Strauman lor suggesting the rank-order correlation analysis used in both studies and for his comments on the manuscript Stephanie Fishkin, Michael Baron, and especially Theresa Claire's help in the production of this paper is also gratefully appreciated.

“…Other correlational studies of jealousy were carried out by Bringle et al (Note 2, 1979), Corzine (Note 5), Jaremko and Lindsey (1979), and Raush et al (1979). Again, these studies focus on "dispositional" correlates o( jealousy and indicate that highly jealous people tend to be self-deprecating, unhappy, externally controlled, arousable, anxious, and dogmatic.…”

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,
