Adult heterosexual women and men are often jealous about completely different threats to their relationship. These differences seem to establish themselves far sooner than people need them. The finding surprised researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) who studied the topic. You don t really need this jealousy until you need to protect yourself from being deceived, says Professor Leif Edward Ottesen Kennair at NTNU s Department of Psychology.
Romantic jealousy can be experienced as horrible at its worst. But jealousy associated with a partner s infidelity has clearly been an evolutionary advantage. Jealousy is activated when a relationship we care about is threatened. The function is probably to minimize threats to this relationship. These threats have historically been somewhat different for men and women, says Per Helge H. Larsen, a master s student in the Department of Psychology at NTNU.
