The relationship between jealousy and extraversion in men and women
Jealousy is a negative response to the actual, imagined or expected emotional or sexual partner’s involvement with another person. There are two basic types of jealousy: emotional and sexual. The majority of previous studies which have investigated the relationship between sex and type of jealousy were found that women react more strongly to emotional infidelity and men on sexual. Furthermore, the results in terms of extroversion are quite consistent and indicate the existence of a negative correlation with jealousy. Previous studies usually used self-esteem as a measure of jealousy, while decision times did not. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether the identified relations would exist using more objective dependent variable. 219 participants (85 men, 134 women) took part in pre- testing whose purpose was to determine sexual orientation and to measure level of extraversion. The main part of the study included 119 heterosexual participants (62 men, 57 women) whose z scores on the extraversion were ± 1sd. They performed the tasks in which after presenting an imaginary scenario they had to make a choice between two different answers (one relating to sexual and other on emotional infidelity), in accordance with which one cause them a greater degree of jealousy. Decision time was also registered. Analysis showed that male participants choose in equal proportion sexual (N=31 ; 50%) as emotional jealousy ((N=31, 50%) while women more often chose emotional (N=43 ; 75%) in relation to sexual jealousy (N=14 ; 25%). Analysis of time decisions confirm the aforementioned, i.e. women took significantly less time when selecting emotional infidelity, while men took approximately the same time when deciding on the type of infidelity to which they were more jealous. Extraverted individuals are more sensitive than introverted ones in sexual infidelity and introverted are more jealous in emotional than in sexual infidelity, but this trend was confirmed only for women. Extraverts and introverts, regardless of gender, have had the same decision time.
