Jealousy typically refers to the
thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that occur when a person believes a valued
relationship is being threatened by a rival. This rival may have no knowledge of
threatening the relationship. The word stems from the French jalousie, formed from jaloux (jealous), and further from Low Latin zelosus (full of zeal), and from the Greek word for "ardour, zeal" (with a root connoting "to boil, ferment"; or "yeast" ). Jealousy is a familiar experience in human relationships. It has been reported in every culture and in many forms where researchers have looked. It has been observed in infants as young as 5-6 months old and in adults over 65 years old. It has been an enduring topic of interest for scientists, artists, and theologians. Psychologists have proposed several mode A. a feeling of resentment towards one who threatens a relationship B. a relationship threatened by an aggressive rival C. a feeling or behavior regardless of one’s age, gender or appearance D. an imagination of a potential rival [单项选择]{{B}}TEXT B{{/B}}
