The article primarily addresses the common emotion, jealousy, that many people experience as they witness the success and achievements of other people. As the social media fosters more convenient sharing of information, people may be exposed to a great number of updates from their friends and acquaintances within minutes of scrolling through the cellphone screen.

Jealousy, by contrast, is an idolatrous (over)protectiveness of someone because we are threatened by a third party or something (work, sports, studies) that threatens us or disrupts what we desire in a relationship, and this can move us toward resentment and anger.” Jealousy is based more on status whereas envy is a personal vendetta towards a specific person or group of people. Envy is taking one aspect or thing of a person’s life and focusing on nothing but obtaining it.

When Buss did the study, he found out during a jealous relationship males were more concern with their partner Sexual faithfulness while, and women were more concern with the emotional intimacy aspect of it. "Men are universally worried about paternity certainty (hence, his mate's sexual fidelity is his main concern) while women will feel more threatened by any emotional intimacy." (Sex At Dawn 142) He also did another study about which couples would be more upset about the sexual relation or emotional intimacy. Women and Men differed by 35%, and women were more towards the emotions that may grow with their partner and another person. On the other side, men continued to be upset on female having a sexual relationship. Even when it did not involve sex or emotional intimacy, males were more upset than female.

The article “Sexual differences in jealousy: A study from Norway” by Kennair et al. (2011) examined the evolutionary theory’s validity of sex differences as the cause of differences in jealousy triggers. The researchers recreated an earlier study organized by Buss et al. in 1999, in which they examined, through two scenarios and one ranking activity, the differences in men and women’s jealousy. The researchers for this study had a purpose of repeating the Buss et al. 1999 study in a country that puts a high value on egalitarianism to see if the evolutionary theory of sex differences in jealousy holds true or if the sex differences in jealousy actually come from the society’s views and beliefs, supporting the socio-cultural theory (Kennair et al, 2011).

Buss et al. (1992) were one of the few researchers to investigate romantic jealousy between sex differences in support of the evolutionary theory. They hypothesized that men and women would differ in romantic jealousy due to the evolutionary history. Buss et al. (1992) measured jealousy differences in men and women by conducting 3 sub-studies. In the first study, infidelity differences between 202 undergraduate students were measured by 3 different methods. The first method was a self-report survey. Participants were instructed to imagine a specific scenario, and then to choose the

This qualitative study wanted to see how swinger couples managed their jealously when their partner has sex with others because in monogamous relationships extra-dyadic sex is not something they do due to jealousy or feeling threaten. The study recruited participants through swinger sites or advertisement. The participants were interviewed and used IPA to study the couples identify and meaning-making. The interviews were later coded. The three questions the study wanted to aim at were to see how swinging couples experience jealousy that may happen since they know that their partner is going to have sex with someone else. Also, is jealousy negative or can be used in a positive way? Possibly, can this study add more understanding to relationships

Smiling in response to her banter, Elena's words and the familiar feel of her lips soothed any rising jealousy in Brett as Glenn, apparently in a hurry, moved his hands all over her body. He returned the hot kiss, then bit down on her lower lip as he broke it to reply to her invitation. "it wouldn't be like me to be rude, would it?" Raising a brow, he felt a hand bump his leg as Glenn buried his fingers in Elena's cunt.

In terms of evolution, a jealous behavior is theorized to be an adaptive response that’s meant to improve reproductive success in both men and women. However, men and women cognitively process their feelings of jealousy in a variety of different ways. For example, while women need to feel like their partner is committed to their relationship and devoted to their children, men want to validate that their supposed children are biologically theirs before they expend any of their resources toward them. From a psychological perspective, women conceptualize infidelity in terms of the emotional aspects of unfaithfulness, while men focus more on the sexual aspects of

“Sexual and emotional infidelity can cause harm to both men and women, including leading to broken hearts and relationships coming to an abrupt and painful end, the authors write.” In the article, Research on jealousy: Impact of sexual vs. emotional infidelity, it was revealed that studies show that straight men were more likely than straight women to be most upset by sexual infidelity (54 percent of men vs. 35 percent of women) and less likely than straight women to be most upset by emotional infidelity (46 percent of men vs. 65 percent of women). "Heterosexual men really stand out from all other groups: they were the only ones who were much more likely to be most upset by sexual infidelity rather than emotional infidelity," said David Frederick,

Jealousy stems from a lack of trust. In children, the lack of trust can either be in a caregiver or even themselves. Limited social skills and low self-esteem are common traits in children who have difficulty coping with jealousy.
