Research Study Findings from University of Desarrollo Update Understanding of Evolutionary Psychology (Jealousy as Predicted by Allocation and Reception of Resources in an Economic Game).

A recent research study from the University of Desarrollo delves into evolutionary psychology, specifically focusing on the role of jealousy in relationships. The study suggests that jealousy is triggered by specific challenges related to reproduction, leading to different responses from men and women. Using an economic game, the researchers found that women were more jealous when their partner allocated resources to a rival, while men showed slightly more jealousy when their partner received money from a rival. This study sheds light on the adaptive function of sex differences in jealousy and highlights the potential of economic games in understanding human behavior. [Extracted from the article]
