Abstract

Purpose: Cross-sectional studies consistently linked jealousy to IPV perpetration among emerging adults. However, it is unclear whether jealousy is a proximal antecedent to IPV incidents that should be targeted in IPV interventions for emerging adults. The present study tested the hypothesis that the likelihood of IPV (cyber, psychological, physical, and sexual) perpetration would increase as levels of daily jealousy increased. Methods: College students (N = 236; M age = 20.53 years) completed a baseline questionnaire that assessed demographic variables and perceived partner infidelity after which they completed once-daily surveys on IPV perpetration, jealousy, and alcohol use for 60 consecutive days. Results: Controlling for sex assigned at birth, perceived partner infidelity, and daily alcohol use, multilevel modeling results revealed that college students were more likely to perpetrate cyber, psychological, and sexual IPV on a given day if they experienced high levels of jealousy. Greater perceived partner infidelity at baseline positively related to odds of cyber and psychological IPV perpetration. Daily alcohol use did not significantly associate with sexual IPV perpetration odds, and negatively associated with cyber and psychological IPV perpetration odds. Physical IPV occurred too infrequently to derive reliable model parameters. Conclusions: Results underscore the need to target jealousy in IPV interventions for emerging adults.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
