Men's Jealousy and Women's Jealousy : Sex differences in Sexual and Romantic Jealousy

질투의 성차에 관한 특정 모듈 이론가들은 남성은 짝의 성적인 부정에 대해 더욱 큰 혼란을 겪는 반면, 여성은 짝의 정서적 부정에 대해 더 당혹스러워 한다고 주장한다. 그 이유는 남녀가 진화적 적응환경에서 자손을 번식시키기 위해 적응해야 하는 핵심과제가 달랐기 때문인데, 남성은 남의 자식을 자기 자식으로 잘못알고 키우는 경우가 진화적 적응의 핵심문제인데 반해 여성에게는 짝이 임신과 출산 및 양육의 기간 동안에 자신과 자식에게 자원을 제공하지 않는 정서적 배신을 하는 것이 더 치명적이었다는 주장이다. 본 연구에서는 한국 성인 표본을 대상으로 Buss 등(1992)의 질투의 성차에 관한 특정 모듈 가설을 반복 검증해 보고, DeSteno와 Salovey(1996)의 이중사살 가설과 Harris(2003b)의 사회-인지 가설의 가능성을 검토해 보려 했다. 300명의 한국인 남녀 성인들을 대상으로 가상적 상황에서 성적 부정과 정서적 부정 중 어느 것이 더 괴로운가를 묻는 강제선택방식 질문에 대한 응답을 얻었다. 연구 결과, 남성은 여성에 비해 연인이나 배우자의 성적 부정에 대해 더 혼란을 겪었으며, 여성은 남성에 비해 정서적 부정에 대해 더 큰 혼란을 겪는 것으로 나타나 특정 모듈 가설이 반복 검증되었다. 아울러, 이중사살 가설이나 사회-인지 가설의 주장을 입증할만한 지지 증거는 발견하지 못했다. 연구의 결과는 특정 모듈 가설과 사회-인지 가설과 관련해서 논의되었으며, 질투에 관한 대안적인 설명의 가능성을 모색해 보았다.

Abstract

The specific innate modular theorists have claimed that men are innately more upset by a mate's sexual infidelity and women are more upset by a mate's emotional infidelity because the sexes faced different adaptive problems(for men, cuckoldry; for women, losing a mate's resources). The present study examined the replicability of the results of JSIM(Buss et al., 1992) for Korean adults(including college students) sample. Another purpose of the study was to rule out the explanations of the double-shot hypotheses(DeSteno & Salovey, 1996). Additionally, moderating effects of age, educational level, religion, occupation, marriage status, and attachment style based on the social-cognitive hypotheses(Harris, 2003b) were examined. 300 adults men and women completed forced-choice hypothetical measures. Results of the study replicate the findings of JSIM. Men more frequently chose the sexual infidelity scenario as most upsetting than women, whereas women more frequently chose the emotional infidelity scenario as most upsetting than men. Contrary to the double-shot explanation, choice of scenario was unrelated to two for one possibility. Interaction effects of sex with demographic and psychological factors also were not found. Results of the study were discussed in relation with JSIM and social-cognitive theory and previous studies. Alternative view of jealousy was suggested for the future research.
