不忠对高投资的配偶关系构成威胁。由于生殖生物学的某些方面存在性别差异，例如女性体内受精，因此这些威胁的性质对男性和女性不同。例如，男人，而不是女人，经常面临着他们的基因亲子关系不确定的问题。嫉妒是一种假设为对抗这些威胁而进化的情绪。1992年的文章《嫉妒中的性别差异：进化、生理学和心理学》报道了三项使用两种不同方法的实证研究，强迫选择和生理实验。结果支持基于进化的假设。这篇文章被高度引用有几个原因。它提升了嫉妒作为一种重要情感的地位，任何关于人类情感的综合理论都可以解释它。随后的荟萃分析有力地支持了进化假说。此外，这项工作支持了性别差异的进化元理论，该理论仅在性别经常面临不同适应性问题的领域中存在差异。它也预示着新兴的进化心理学领域作为一个有用的视角，拥有可测试性，可证伪性和启发性价值的科学美德，发现以前未知的心理现象。
Infidelity poses threats to high-investment mating relationships. Because of gender differences in some aspects of reproductive biology, such as internal female fertilization, the nature of these threats differs for men and women. Men, but not women, for example, have recurrently faced the problem of uncertainty in their genetic parenthood. Jealousy is an emotion hypothesized to have evolved to combat these threats. The 1992 article Sex Differences in Jealousy: Evolution, Physiology, and Psychology reported three empirical studies using two different methods, forced-choice and physiological experiments. Results supported the evolution-based hypotheses. The article became highly cited for several reasons. It elevated the status of jealousy as an important emotion to be explained by any comprehensive theory of human emotions. Subsequent meta-analyses robustly supported the evolutionary hypotheses. Moreover, the work supported the evolutionary meta-theory of gender differences, which posits differences only in domains in which the sexes have recurrently faced distinct adaptive problems. It also heralded the newly emerging field of evolutionary psychology as a useful perspective that possesses the scientific virtues of testability, falsifiability, and heuristic value in discovering previously unknown psychological phenomena.
