Jealousy is a heterogenous emotion on a spectrum from normality to psychopathology. The relationship between different jealousy subtypes/dimensions and affective temperaments remain unknown. In addition, few large surveys have investigated the associations between jealousy subtypes and psychopathological dimensions.
A Brazilian Portuguese version of the "Questionario della Gelosia" (QUEGE) was developed. We obtained data from an anonymous web-based research platform. Socio-demographic data was obtained and participants answered the QUEGE, the TEMPS-Rio de Janeiro, and the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R).
2042 participants (29% men, 71% female, mean age+SD: 28.9±8.8 years), took part in this survey. Confirmatory factor analysis provided a five-factor model for the QUEGE with self-esteem, paranoia, interpersonal sensitivity, fear of being abandoned, and obsessive dimensions. The anxious, irritable, cyclothymic, and depressive temperaments were independently associated with jealousy dimensions, whereas the hyperthymic temperament was associated with lower scores on the self-esteem jealousy dimension (N=2042, P<0.001). Jealousy subtypes were dissimilarly associated with SCL-90R psychopathological dimensions, whereas the 'obsessive' jealousy dimension was not significantly associated with SCL-90R dimension scores. We found no independent influence of gender across any jealousy dimension.
A convenience web-based sample was employed. Cross-sectional design precludes the establishment of causal inferences.
Our data indicate that a five-factor solution may provide the best-fit model for the QUEGE. Different jealousy subtypes were independently associated with affective temperaments and psychopathological dimensions. These associations reported herein should be confirmed in prospective studies.
嫉妒是一种从正常到精神病理学的异质性情绪。不同嫉妒亚型/维度与情感气质之间的关系尚不清楚。此外，很少有大规模调查研究嫉妒亚型与精神病理学维度之间的关联。
开发了巴西葡萄牙语版的“嫉妒问卷”（QUEGE）。我们从一个基于网络的匿名研究平台获取数据。收集社会人口统计学数据，参与者回答QUEGE、里约热内卢版情感气质量表（TEMPS-Rio）和症状自评量表90修订版（SCL-90-R）。
2042名参与者（29%为男性，71%为女性，平均年龄±标准差：28.9±8.8岁）参与了本次调查。验证性因素分析为QUEGE提供了一个五因素模型，包括自尊、偏执、人际敏感性、害怕被抛弃和强迫维度。焦虑、易怒、环性心境和抑郁气质与嫉妒维度独立相关，而轻躁狂气质与自尊嫉妒维度得分较低相关（N=2042，P<0.001）。嫉妒亚型与SCL-90R精神病理学维度的关联各不相同，而“强迫性”嫉妒维度与SCL-90R维度得分无显著关联。我们发现在任何嫉妒维度上，性别均无独立影响。
采用了基于网络的便利样本。横断面设计排除了因果推断的建立。
我们的数据表明，五因素解决方案可能为QUEGE提供最佳拟合模型。不同的嫉妒亚型与情感气质和精神病理学维度独立相关。本文报道的这些关联应在前瞻性研究中得到证实。
