Jealousy has been linked to a number of deleterious relationship outcomes, including intimate partner violence; yet few studies have explored the broader ways in which inducing jealousy induction affects intimate relationships. Using data from the Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study (TARS), we examined correlates and consequences of intentionally seeking to incite jealousy from intimate partners. Drawing on data from 892 young adults, we found that men, compared to women, were more likely to use jealousy induction techniques. Further, dynamics of the intimate relationship, including partner’s infidelity and verbal conflict, directly influenced and familial background characteristics both directly and indirectly influenced individuals’ engagement in jealousy induction. Jealousy inducing behaviors also increased individuals’ experiences of intimate partner violence after accounting for familial background characteristics, intimate relationship qualities and sociodemographic factors (i.e., age, race, and biological sex). We discuss potential mechanisms linking these relationship dynamics and provide suggestions for future research.
