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.

Bericht
«Dr. Bevan provides a meticulous summary of the jealousy expression research. The chapters focusing on psychological and communicative theories are especially insightful, and include a new model, jealousy expression profile theory, which helps organize research on communicative responses to jealousy. This book is essential reading for scholars and students interested in jealousy.» (Laura Guerrero, Arizona State University)
«Bevan's work heralds a maturing of jealousy research within the communication discipline. It provides the most up-to-date, comprehensive overview available of the jealousy and jealousy expression literatures. More than simply summarizing previous research, Bevan makes an original contribution to the study of jealousy with her communication-focused thesis. [...] I anticipate the book will take its place alongside older seminal works [...] as a 'must-read' on the topic of jealousy.» (Timothy Ryan Worley, Southern Communication Journal 80.1, 2015)
