A2
2 complex mixed design was used to assess jealousy. Partici-
pants read two vignettes describing their partners as being attracted to
another person; one vignette depicted this attraction as emotional and
the other vignette depicted this attraction as physical. Thus, attraction
(emotional or physical) was the within-subjects factor. Participants rated
as the dependent measure the amount of jealousy they felt after reading
each vignette. Two between-subjects variables were factorially combined with
attraction: participants were either teenagers (eighteen or nineteen years old)
or in their middle twenties (twenty-five or twenty-six years old).
