Abstract

Background. Romantic attachment is reflected in various aspects of dyadic interaction in a couple, since it is a self-reinforcing system of cognitive, emotional and behavioral patterns. Romantic jealousy was shown to be associated with dimensions of attachment insecurity in various studies worldwide. Objectives. To identify differences in expressions of romantic jealousy based on romantic attachment style. To determine the influence of attachment-related anxiety and attachment-related avoidance on cognitive, emotional, and behavioral jealousy. Design. The sample comprised 171 heterosexual individuals. The “Experiences in Close Relationships – Revised” questionnaire (ECR-R; Fraley, Waller, & Brennan, 2000; adapted for Russian by Chursina, 2022) and “Multidimensional Jealousy Scale” (MJS; Pfeiffer, & Wong, 1989) were used. Results. A number of significant differences were identified between insecure and secure attachment styles. Avoidant attachment is characterized by cognitive jealousy, ambivalent attachment is characterized by cognitive and behavioral jealousy, while dismissing attachment showed no significant differences in the manifestations of jealousy in comparison with secure attachment style. Emotional jealousy is equally characteristic of all types. The primacy of romantic attachment in relation to cognitive and behavioral jealousy was also proved. Conclusion. The experience of jealousy differs among romantic attachment styles. Attachment-related anxiety is a predictor of intrusive thoughts and behavioral manifestations of jealousy, while attachment-related avoidance is less, the greater the manifestation of jealousy behaviors.

恋爱依恋类型对青少年嫉妒的影响

背景。浪漫依恋反映在一对夫妇的二元互动的各个方面，因为它是一个自我强化的认知、情感和行为模式系统。在世界各地的各种研究中，浪漫嫉妒被证明与依恋不安全感的维度有关。目标。探讨基于浪漫依恋类型的浪漫嫉妒表达差异。确定依恋相关焦虑和依恋相关回避对认知嫉妒、情感嫉妒和行为嫉妒的影响。设计。样本包括171名异性恋者。“亲密关系的经验-修订”问卷(ECR-R);弗莱利，沃勒，&;布伦南,2000;俄罗斯版由Chursina改编，2022年)和“多维嫉妒量表”(MJS;普费弗和;Wong, 1989)。结果。在不安全依恋类型和安全依恋类型之间发现了许多显著差异。回避型依恋以认知嫉妒为特征，矛盾型依恋以认知嫉妒和行为嫉妒为特征，而解散型依恋与安全型依恋在嫉妒表现上无显著差异。情感上的嫉妒是所有类型的嫉妒的共同特征。浪漫依恋在认知和行为嫉妒中的首要地位也得到了证明。结论。在不同的恋爱关系中，嫉妒的体验是不同的。依恋相关焦虑是侵入性思想和嫉妒行为表现的预测因子，而依恋相关回避越少，嫉妒行为表现越明显。
