Individual differences in romantic jealousy: The moderating effect of relationship characteristics

Abstract Previous research suggests that people who experience romantic jealousy in their relationships are typically low in self‐esteem and high in neuroticism. The purpose of this paper is to examine whether the effects of personality are moderated by the nature of the relationships. Data based on 101 respondents suggest that the jealousy–personality correlations are more apparent among dating couples with less established relationships.
