Episode 3073: Dr. Marisa Cohen explores why jealousy and infidelity have been explained through evolutionary psychology, examining how men and women may react differently to emotional and sexual betrayal. She also weighs competing research that challenges these interpretations, offering a balanced look at what science does, and does not, reveal about the origins of jealousy and mate retention. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.luvze.com/infidelity-and-jealousy-from-an-evolutionary-perspective/ Quotes to ponder: "When you feel as if someone poses a threat to your relationship (whether they do or not), jealousy likely creeps in." "Essentially, jealousy serves as a mechanism by which the person remains hypervigilant to protect his/her relationship from potential intruders." "Infidelity shakes the ground upon which the relationship is built, as it creates a violation of trust and breaks the commitment each partner made to one another." Learn more about your ad choices.
