This topic submitted by Tiffin Staib & Sarah Shook (shooksa@muohio.edu) at 10:49 pm on 1/30/01. Additions were last made on Wednesday, February 21, 2001. Section: Myers.

Research Question:
How does gender affect jealousy and if so, why and in what ways does this occur?
Is one gender more likely to act out of jealousy? Is one gender more prone to causing feelings of jealousy?

Specific Predictions:
We predict that both genders equally have the capability of feeling jealousy towards their partner. However, men are more likely to act on these feelings than women. We predict that women are more likely to illicit jealous responses from their partners (whether this is with intent or not is something we will explore).

Design:
We will construct a survey that will distributed to approximatly 100 Miami students. This survey will ask questions such as gender, age, sexual orientation, relationship status, number of past relationships and how jealousy may have affected them. We will also be doing research relating to the subject. We hope to construct a media presentation combining interviews and references in popular culture surrounding jealousy.
