Abstract

This paper will focus on the problem of experiencing a negative emotion that is jealousy. The first section of the paper describes jealousy and shows its development in ontogenesis. It points to the theories explaining differences in how jealousy is experienced in the context of personality traits and gender. The authors draw attention to one of the most significant current discussions, namely, the correlation between the experience of jealousy and the sense of quality of a partnership. They review recent research on the experience of jealousy ina romantic relationship. They show various dimensions of jealousy and attempt to clearly distinguish jealousy from other emotions.
