Abstract
Subjects reported projected feelings and actions asso- ciated with sexual jealousy after viewing a videotaped jealousy- evoking scenario. Tapes were varied systematically to determine the effects of sex and physical attractiveness of a third person interloper on jealousy responses in an existing relationship. Analyses of variance revealed significant differences due to sex, attractiveness, or their interaction for 12 of the 36 dependent measures. Results were discussed in regard to cultural and situational influences on male and female response patterns.Keywords
