Resumo
O presente estudo tem como objectivo a compreensão do ciúme como fenómeno e sua génese, e verificar como cada um dos sexos se expressa na vivência do ciúme e a consequente relevância para cada um deles. Foi utilizada uma amostra de 210 jovens adultos de ambos os sexos, com idades compreendidas entre os 17 e os 35 anos, que preencheram um protocolo de investigação que incluía um questionário de dados demográficos e historial dos relacionamentos amorosos e sexuais, um de reacções emocionais à infidelidade do parceiro, a Chornic Jealousy Scale (White, 1981), a Multidimensional Jealousu Scale (Pfeiffer & Wong, 1989), Reactive and Suspicious Jealousy Scale (Rydell & Bringle, 2003). Foram encontradas diferenças entre géneros no que respeita às reacções emocionais face a uma potencial infidelidade, sendo que os homens consideraram pior uma infidelidade sexual e as mulheres uma infidelidade emocional. Foram ainda encontradas diferenças entre os sexos na forma como vivenciavam o ciúme, sendo que as mulheres revelaram ser mais ciumentas em todas as escalas de ciúme, com a excepção do ciúme reactivo, onde comparativamente aos homens se verificou inferior.

For this purpose, we considered a sample of 210 young adults of both sexes, aged between 17 and 35 years, who completed a research protocol which included a questionnaire of demographic data and a report of love and sexual relationships, a scale of emotional reactions to partners infidelity; the Jealousy Chronic Scale (White, 1981), the Multidimensional Scale Jealousy (Pfeiffer & Wong, 1989), Reactive and Suspicious Jealousy Scale (Rydell & Bringle, 2003). Gender differences were found in what concerns emotional reaction to a potential infidelity: men considered sexual infidelity as being the worst, whereas women pointed out emotional infidelity. Differences were also found in the way they experienced jealousy: women proved to be more jealous on all scales, with the exception of reactive jealousy.
