In the context of established associations between alcohol problems and intimate partner violence (IPV), the current study investigated whether jealousy has positive and negative dimensions, and whether they differentially moderate the association between problem drinking and IPV perpetration in heavy-drinking college students (=448). Factor analyses suggested positive and negative dimensions of jealousy. Whereas negative jealousy was conceptualized by the traditional definition of jealousy, positive jealousy reflected relationship commitment and emotional distress upon considering one's partner becoming romantically involved with another person. Results supported hypotheses such that positive and negative jealousy dimensions moderated the drinking problems-IPV link in opposite directions: Drinking problems were associated with increased perpetration among individuals higher in negative and lower in positive jealousy. Results provide support for the notion that jealousy is not universally negative and highlight the importance of different types of jealousy in understanding the association between alcohol problems and IPV perpetration.
鉴于酒精问题与亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）之间已确立的关联，本研究调查了嫉妒是否具有积极和消极维度，以及它们是否以不同方式调节重度饮酒大学生（n = 448）中饮酒问题与实施亲密伴侣暴力之间的关联。因素分析表明嫉妒存在积极和消极维度。消极嫉妒是由传统的嫉妒定义概念化的，而积极嫉妒反映了在考虑自己的伴侣与他人产生浪漫关系时的关系承诺和情绪困扰。结果支持了以下假设，即积极和消极嫉妒维度以相反方向调节饮酒问题与亲密伴侣暴力之间的联系：在消极嫉妒程度较高而积极嫉妒程度较低的个体中，饮酒问题与实施亲密伴侣暴力行为的增加有关。研究结果支持了嫉妒并非普遍消极这一观点，并强调了不同类型的嫉妒在理解酒精问题与实施亲密伴侣暴力之间关联中的重要性。
