Abstract:
|
The association between intimate partner violence (IPV) and jealousy has been widely examined. However, potential variations of this relationship across gender and culture have not been considered. The goal of this study was to examine whether jealousy was associated with IPV, and if so, how this association varies between men and women of White, Latino(a), and African American descent. We posed the following two research questions: (1) Would jealousy be equivalently associated with IPV perpetration across Latino, African-American, and Caucasian participants as a group without regard to gender? (2) Would there be gender and cultural differences in the association between jealousy and IPV such that Latino men differed from Latina women, African-American men differed African American women, and Caucasian men differed from Caucasian women?
The Interpersonal Jealousy Scale (IJS) was used to measure jealousy and the Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS2) to measure IPV perpetration in a sample of 1111 undergraduate students from a diverse, urban university. Results indicated that jealousy predicted IPV in Caucasian males and African American females, but did not predict IPV in the other groups. These results suggest that jealousy may not have the same function across cultural and gender groups.
The sample consisted of 1111 undergraduate students from a diverse, urban university and was comprised of: 476 men (226 Latino/Hispanic, 94 African American, 156 Caucasian) and 635 women (337 Latina/Hispanic, 197 African American, 101 Caucasian).
A 2x3 analysis of variance (gender x race) with jealousy as the IV and IPV as the DV was conducted. Results indicated that jealousy predicted IPV in Caucasian males and African American females, but did not predict IPV in the other groups. These results suggest that jealousy may not have the same function across cultural and gender groups.
Discussion will focus both on how jealousy is constructed across different groups and how these constructions are not neccessarily indicative of relational distress. Discussion will also reflect the danger of assuming cultural equivalence because of the near-universal presence of jealousy.
