This book received the 2014 Gerald R. Miller Outstanding Book Award from the "Interpersonal Communication Division of the National Communication Association" and the "National Communication Association - Communication and Social Cognition Division - 2013 Distinguished Book Award." Informed by a wide variety of academic disciplines and offering a unique interpersonal communication approach to the study of jealousy, The Communication of Jealousy examines, integrates, and informs research on jealousy experience and expression. The book's integration and interpretation of academic jealousy research is through a jealousy expression lens, meaning that the focus will be particularly, but not exclusively, on jealousy research that includes a behavioral or communicative component that is drawn from a number of academic disciplines as diverse as communication, social and clinical psychology, sociology, criminology, forensic anthropology, and the biological sciences. To date, no academic book has considered jealousy primarily from an interpersonal communication perspective; in doing so, this book effectively connects jealousy research from related academic disciplines and develops a theory that advances the state of jealousy expression research.

An online survey asked adult participants to recall and report on either a serial or a nonserial romantic argument. Findings indicated that serial argument participants ruminated more and used more negative and avoidant, and fewer positive, conflict strategies than nonserial argument participants. Conflict topics did not vary by argument type. Serial arguments that are abbreviated (i.e., between 2 and 5 episodes) also were found to differ from those that are extended (i.e., more than 5 episodes) in nature. These findings and their implications for both serial arguments and interpersonal conflict are discussed.

Specifically, elements of Bevan, Finan, and Kaminsky’s ((2008) Modeling serial arguments in close relationships: The serial argument process model, Human Communication Research, 34, 600–624) serial argument process model were considered here as dyadic perceptions. Eighty-four romantic partners completed surveys that measured their self-reports of perceived resolvability and self- and perceived partner reports of serial argument goal importance and conflict strategy usage. Whereas there were relatively more self-perception/actor effects for goal importance and conflict strategy usage, there were more partner perception/partner conflict strategy usage effects on perceived resolvability. The implications of these findings for the dyadic consideration of serial arguments and Bevan et a...

This study examines whether social networking site (SNS) password sharing is distinct from general online surveillance, and how it is related to age, relationship satisfaction, online surveillance, and SNS jealousy. An online survey of 474 adults in current and former romantic relationships determined that, not only are password sharing and online surveillance operationally discrete, but also password sharing is multi-dimensional: (a) password sharing involves one's partner seeking their SNS passwords from them and (b) account monitoring occurs when an individual requests their partner's SNS passwords and/or accesses their partner's accounts to view content. Each aspect of password sharing is uniquely related to demographic and relationship characteristics. Implications and future research directions are discussed.
