Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to examine the sex and culture differences in jealousy in romantic relationship. In this study, the assumption that men's jealousy is hypothesized to be particularly concerned with mate's sexual infidelity, whereas women's jealousy is hypothesized to be particularly concerned with mate's emotional infidelity based on the Evolved Jealousy Mechanism (EJM) perspective was proposed. We hypothesized that not only distinctive feature of the sex-specific evolved jealousy mechanism across the culture was replicated, but also the magnitude of the sex differences varies somewhat across cultures was predicted. To test this purpose, 221 university students in Korea and U.S.A were asked to complete the questionnaires and two-way ANOVAs were used to test the data. Results showed that the sex differences in jealousy were robust across these cultures, providing support for the EJM. An interaction between sex and culture as well as main effects for both sex and culture in jealousy and distress for sexual infidelity were revealed. The magnitude of the sex differences varied in large for the United States but small for Koreans. Accordingly, As the men were belonging to the United States at the same time as indicated greater jealousy, and distress to a partner's sexual infidelity. These results might used to understand the sex and culture differences in jealousy in romantic relationship and other culture factors account for the differences should be discussed in future research.
