PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF JEALOUSY CONSTRUCT This paper will focus on the problem of experiencing a negative emotion that is jealousy. The first section of the paper describes jealousy and shows its development in ontogenesis. It points to the theories explaining differences in how jealousy is experienced in the context of personality traits and gender. The authors draw attention to one of the most significant current discussions, namely, the correlation between the experience of jealousy and the sense of quality of a partnership. They review recent research on the experience of jealousy in a romantic relationship. They show various dimensions of jealousy and attempt to clearly distinguish jealousy from other emotions. Keywords: jealousy, envy, emotions, self-evaluation, marital satisfaction

Lotte Hughes

Current struggles for power, land and resources in Kenyan Maasailand can only be understood in a 100-year context, by returning to the forced moves and land losses of the 1900s and closely examining subsequent complaints about their alleged illegality and long-term impacts. Drawing upon archival research and oral testimony, this article explains why the Maasai community's sense of loss and ... [Show full abstract] betrayal is so enduring. Maasai grievances stem from a feeling that they have been betrayed by the British, from the political ambitions of particular Maasai leaders, and from historical divisions between different groups of Maasai. Entangled with all these reasons for grievance is the use of history and myth in constructing nationalist and bounded identities.

Romantic Relationships and Body Satisfaction Among Young Women

April 2006 · Journal of Youth and Adolescence

In the present study we examined associations between young women's romantic relationships and their body image. Ninety-five heterosexual couples (women's mean age=22.46 and men's mean age=24.38) participated in this study. We examined young women's satisfaction with their own bodies, their perceptions of their significant others’ satisfaction with their bodies, and their significant others’ ... [Show full abstract] actual satisfaction with their bodies using the Contour Drawing Rating Scale women's weight status was assessed using body mass index (BMI). Relationship constructs examined included relationship quality and the length of couples’ romantic relationships. Results indicated that females were more dissatisfied with their bodies than they perceived their significant others to be and were more dissatisfied than their significant others actually were. Analyses further indicated that the longer women had been in a relationship with their significant other, the more likely they were to incorrectly believe that their significant other wanted them to look thinner.

The Way Ahead

Roger Johnson

A superficial but, I hope, accurate picture has been painted of the urban situation in the seventies. The new realities have been faced and the implications assessed. It remains to draw together the possible solutions. How best can we meet that principle so boldly stated in the Introduction? How to ‘create conditions in which every individual can feel his own worth. Where he or she can “step ... [Show full abstract] long”, rather than scurry and dodge and bustle. Where a sense of well-being is engendered through the fitness of things. Where there is no overpowering by “giantism”, clamour (aural and visual), quantity, and no enervating by anomie.’
