Ethinylestradiol has been linked to relationship jealousy; however, it suppresses testosterone, a hormone implicated in intrasexual competitiveness. This study examined the relationship between contraceptive type and self-reported intrasexual competitiveness and jealousy, with the goal of identifying practical differences among existing groups of contraceptive users.</p><h3>Methods</h3><p>A between-subjects design compared combined hormonal contraceptive users, progestin-only contraceptive users, and non-users on self-reported intrasexual competition and jealousy. Participants (<i>N</i> = 398) reported contraceptive information and then completed Buunk and Fisher’s (Journal of Evolutionary Psychology, 7(1), 37-48, 2009) intrasexual competitiveness scale and Buunk’s (Personality and Individual Differences, 23(6), 997-1006, 1997) jealousy scale.</p><h3>Results</h3><p>Hormonal contraceptive users reported slightly higher levels of jealousy than non-users (<i>p</i> = .012, η2 = 0.01), but the difference between contraceptive types was not significant (<i>p</i> = .098, η2 = 0.01).

No dosage effects of ethinylestradiol on jealousy were found. No relationship between contraceptive type and intrasexual competition was found.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Combined-hormonal contraceptive users may experience greater relationship jealousy than non-users and potentially progestin-only users. Differences may only be practically meaningful for specific populations. Further research is necessary to standardize the route of administration and explain the null findings regarding intrasexual competition. Our findings provide a basis for future research that can inform contraceptive choice.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7178,"journal":{"name":"Adaptive Human Behavior and Physiology","volume":"11 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145729780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
