Jeff Bryson (1991), identified eight modes of response:
Emotional devastation,
Reactive retribution (get even),
Arousal (intensify ardor or interest in partner),
Need for social support (more intensive interaction with friends),
Intropunitiveness (blame and punish oneself for being jealous),
Confrontation (confront the situation directly),
Anger,
Impression management (make others think don't care/get drunk or high).
These eight responses comprise a variety of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral reactions that are independent of each other. A person may experience all of them, some of them, or only a single reaction in response to a particular jealousy-producing situation.
