Are the differences in jealousy responses in men and women moderated by sexual orientation and sexual identification?

Abstract

This research strives to determine if the evolutionary psychology theory on infidelity remains true today for cis-males and cis-females. In addition, this study includes non-gender conforming and transgender subjects, not included in the original theory. Jealousy will be measured by using electrodermal responses (EDR) recorded through the software program AcqKnowledge 4.4. This software is ran through the BioPac program. In this study, jealousy is measured by attaching electrodes to the hand of a human subject while they listen to one of two randomly assigned audio recordings. The two recordings will counter-balance the order of the jealousy stimuli as well as reflect the subject's arousal levels.
