Risk of Sperm Competition and Sexual Coercion
Factors that may lead to sexual coercion: male sexual jealousy, exercising dominance/control over partner, anti-cuckoldry tactic
Research finding:Men’s sexual coercion of their sexual partner was predicted BOTH by suspicions of female infidelity and by men’s controlling behavior
Research finding:Rape of an intimate partner often times follows accusations of infidelity

Individual Differences in Intimate Partner Violence
Individual Differences in Intimate Partner Violence
Possibility that partner-directed violence may arise from individual differences in personality traits.
Research findings: Men’s emotional stability, agreeableness, and conscientiousness predict partner-directed violence.
BUT, the correlation was moderated by men’s suspicion of partner infidelity.

Critical ReviewCritical Review Emotional manipulation as a mate retention behavior: showing care
and affection The greater amount of time spent away from a partner, the greater
the probability of sexual jealousy Observers were more accepting of violent behavior when it was clear
that sexual jealousy was triggered
We question the correlation between sexual jealousy and violence. It seems probable that the majority of males experience sexual jealousy but do not engage in physical violence
The desire to dominate and control a partner seems to be an improbable reason for sexual coercion in most instances.
Between 10% and 26% of women report being raped by their husband. What are the exact circumstances that qualify as rape? Is the self-report measure reliable?
