The degree of jealousness depends on the growth of the man, scientists have established

Scientists have found that men are more jealous than higher representatives of the stronger sex, the Air Force reports.

During a study conducted by Spanish and Dutch researchers from universities in the city of Groningen (Holland) and the city of Valencia (Spain), 549 men and women were interviewed for their attitude to jealousy. In particular, scientists tried to find out what makes them feel uncertain.

The results of the study published in the British scientific journal New Scientist showed that men are worried about attractive, rich and strong rivals. However, scientists found that the higher the man was, the less he was jealous.

The studies conducted earlier showed that high men are most often successful in their careers, make money more and have more beautiful girlfriends. Researchers believe that this is caused by an association of high growth with attractiveness, physical superiority and good reproductive qualities.

Women are most jealous of beautiful and enjoyable women in communication, although they also found the dependence of the degree of jealousy on growth: the most jealous were women of low and high stature. Women of medium height, being the least jealous, most often felt uncertainly in relation to women who differ from them on this basis.

Dutch and Spanish scientists believe that women of medium height are more physically healthy and therefore they do not feel jealousy for women with similar "characteristics." The greatest jealousy of them is caused by high women with male features, which, apparently, is associated with physical superiority and higher social status.

However, a number of scientists believe that not only the physiological aspect affects the degree of jealousy. Simon Jelstorp, from the British Society of Psychologists, believes that jealousy is a kind of fear of losing someone you love. The scientist explains that much depends on self -esteem, which in turn depends on many factors, including growth. However, the main factor that determines human jealousy, according to Jelstorp, is the fortress of his/its relationship.
