Analysis
There is a mixture of feelings about jealousy within relationships. This may be due to personal experiences or individual differences. However, 60% of participants said that they thought jealousy happens in most or all relationships, and even though 40% of people said that thought that jealousy does not occur within relationships, they still went on to identify things that would make them feel jealous of a partner, which shows conflicting results. From this, I believe that jealousy is an inevitable part of life and part of relationships.

80% of participants said that they thing jealousy occurs more in a relationship between people with less trust. This is a huge majority. I think this is because if there is less trust within a relationship they the individual may get more suspicious of their partner and what they are doing and who they are seeing. This could lead to wrong conclusions and therefore jealousy.
