| Resumo: | Intimate violence has been a topic of interest for a long time now and contrary to cultural believe, although women tend to be more vulnerable, both males and females face intimate violence. Intimate partner violence (IPV), which is a subcategory of domestic violence, is strongly related to jealousy. Jealousy is defined as a common emotional state that can be sexual or emotional. The main objective of this study is to relate, for the first time, intimate partner violence (IPV) with emotional and sexual jealousy. We also want to investigate the role of age and relationship satisfaction. Participants (N = 701) completed an online questionnaire, in which measures of IPV, relationship satisfaction and the two types of jealousy were obtained. Results show that the different types of IPV are associated with the two different types of jealousy. Additionally, our data shows that emotional jealousy increases with age and the more participants are within their relationships the less they tend to perpetrate IPV. |
