Abstract
Background and Aim: Jealousy is one of the negative emotions that affect interpersonal relationships, physical and mental health and daily functioning in life and causes harm to the individual and society. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide a philosophical analysis of the causes, examples and strategies for dealing with "jealousy".
Methods: In the present study, the methods of documentary-library research and the method of descriptive quantitative content analysis of the written text type were used. For this purpose, using available sampling, 150 male students of Farhangian University of Kurdistan province in the academic year 2022 were selected and data were collected and analyzed using a semi-structured researcher-made questionnaire.
Ethical Considerations: The adherence of researchers to the principles of the Helsinki Declaration has been considered throughout the research period.
Results: For the causes and examples of jealousy: in the psychological-physical field, 25 concepts, in the social field, 13 concepts, in the moral-religious field, 15 concepts and in the legal-economic field, 5 concepts were obtained. In terms of solutions: in the psychological-physical field, 29 concepts, in the social field, 21 concepts, in the moral-religious field, 19 concepts and in the legal-economic field, 3 concepts were obtained.
Conclusion: Findings showed that in jealousy, both internal factors such as feelings, motivations and attitudes of the individual and external factors such as family, school and society are involved. As a result of each of the causes, motives and intentions and actions of the jealous person become negative and sometimes destructive. Therefore, choosing the right solution requires recognizing the causes and examples of jealousy. So, it is suggested that by holding training workshops for educational trainers to familiarize them with the causes and consequences of jealousy, it was effective in controlling and reducing jealousy.
