Episode notes
Jealousy Can Escalate To Violence
- Jealousy is a common trigger for domestic violence and can be perceived as an expression of caring.
- That perception is dangerous because jealousy can escalate into abusive, violent behavior.
Jealousy Is An Anticipatory Emotion
- Jealousy is a secondary, anticipatory emotion that arises from self-awareness and threatens future loss.
- It precedes other emotions like anger or fear and motivates actions to prevent that loss.
Jealousy Varies With History, Not Just Gender
- Gender differences in jealousy (men sexual, women emotional) are often explained by personal history and attachment style rather than pure evolution.
- Detachment and relationship history better predict whether someone is more upset by sexual or emotional betrayal.
