WILMINGTON,
Del., July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The latest
study by DatingAdvice.com reveals what gets our green-eyed monsters
roaring.
"Jealousy can undermine relationships and
friendships by making a person feel inadequate or insecure," said
Amber Brooks, Editor-in-Chief for
DatingNews.com. "Whether it's wealth, love, or Chris Evans' relationship status, we all have
dreams for ourselves, and it can be hard to see someone seemingly
living your dream."
Methodology
The study reviewed how more than 2,000 Americans,
including respondents from every state, responded to questions
about jealousy concerning peers or partners. These questions
covered a variety of scenarios, such as jealousy in a romantic
relationship or the workplace. The responses were then evenly
weighted to give every state analyzed a score out of 60 (1 being
the least jealous and 60 being the most jealous) based on their
results.
The Most Jealous States in the U.S.
- Delaware leads the pack
with a jealousy score of 45.2 out of 60. Much of Delaware's jealousy starts in the workplace,
with 57% of respondents saying they feel jealous when their
coworkers get promoted and 51% reporting being jealous of their
coworkers' salaries.
- Oklahoma follows
closely with a score of 43.9. Oklahomans are the most jealous state
in the country when their partner likes models' pictures on social
media.
- Rhode Island packs
a significant punch with a jealousy score of 40.2. Its close-knit
communities might contribute to heightened awareness of each
other's successes — 62% of respondents reported feeling jealous of
their peers' salaries.
- Tennessee takes the
fourth spot with a score of 39.3. Surprisingly, 37% of Tennessee respondents have asked their partner
to stop hanging out with a friend because of jealousy.
- Indiana rounds out the
top five with a jealousy score of 36.9. While most said they are
happy for their partners' success, 34% of Hoosiers surveyed admit a
touch of envy in this department.
What Makes Americans Jealous?
- First, it's inevitable: 87% of Americans surveyed said
they experience jealousy in relationships, at least
occasionally.
- A substantial 55% of respondents admit feeling
jealous when their partner likes photos of attractive
peers, compared to 30% who feel the same about likes on
pictures of attractive famous people.
- When it comes to friends of the gender their partner is
attracted to, 3 in 5 Americans surveyed said they experience
jealousy. Further, 1 in 4 Americans have asked their partner to
stop hanging out with someone because they were jealous.
