A Woman And A Man In Jealousy

A Woman And A Man In Jealousy.
A maiden may have the position of turning into a green-eyed monster when her man sleeps with someone else, but new examine suggests a man gets even more jealous in the same scenario. In a poll of nearly 64000 Americans, sexy infidelity was most upsetting to men in heterosexual relationships, said study author David Frederick, an aide-de-camp professor of psychology at Chapman University in Orange, California "Men in heterosexual couples are more queasy by sexual infidelity than women are. Women are more likely to be upset by emotional infidelity".

For the study, Frederick defined physical infidelity as a partner having sex with another person but not being in friendship with them. He defined emotional infidelity as a partner falling in love with someone else but not having making out with them. The men and women in the study, aged 18 to 65, but mostly in their at an advanced hour 30s, answered an online poll in 2007. Participants identified themselves as heterosexual, gay, lesbian or bisexual. All were given a "what if" scenario.

They were told to presume their partner had strayed sexually or strayed emotionally, and to be influential if they would be upset. Men in the heterosexual relationships really stood out from all the others as they were the only class to be more upset by sexual infidelity than emotional betrayal. Frederick said researchers have debated for years whether men and women contrast in their reactions to infidelity.
