Jealousy is indeed ‘blinding’ according to a new study by two psychology professors of University of Delaware.
The recent study shows that social emotions can literally affect what we see. UD professors Steven Most and Jean-Philippe Laurenceau found that women who were made to feel jealous were distracted by unpleasant emotional images they became unable to spot targets they were trying to find.
The research was done in a lab with romantic partners seating near each other at separate computers. The woman was asked to detect targets in streams of images while the man was asked to rate the attractiveness of landscapes. In the middle of the experiment, the experimenter announced the male partner would now rate the attractiveness of other single women.
They discovered that the more jealous the women felt, the more they were so distracted by unpleasant images that they could not see the targets.
