This dissertation presents two studies (a kind of “theoretical review" and one experimental) about jealousy in Behavior Analysis. Although jealousy is widely researched in different areas of psychology, behavior analysis has produced few studies on this topic. Therefore, from two studies presented, the goal of this dissertation is to bring the contributions Behavior Analysis: 1) from other areas of science, so that we can create, with behavioral concepts, a sustainable framework for the study of jealousy, 2) their own behavior analysis, so they can test experimentally some of the behavioral interpretations about jealousy. Study I is a theoretical review in order to analyze the emotional behavior jealous under the theoretical framework of behavior-analytic approach, focusing on its socioverbal and interspersed with this analysis stemmed some of the concepts of sociology. From this dialogue it was found that as socio-verbal contingencies change, the concepts of jealousy and situations evoke the same are also changed. Moreover, these contingencies can also promote self-descriptions that are verbal equivalents related to jealousy within each culture, and the individual appointed jealous with these equivalents. Study II presents an experimental research on jealousy by a social arrangement devised in the laboratory, based on the externalist approach of behavior analysis in the explanation of emotional behavior jealous. His goal was to investigate the effect of pre-programmed contingencies involving a rival on the occurrence of emotional behavior jealous. The method used was the design of single subject, in which data from each participant were individually compared in the two phases of the procedure. Participants were divided into participants and observers of both sexes. The procedure was divided into Phase 1 (no competition for boosters) and Phase 2 (presence of competition for boosters). Observers inferred feelings of participants in each phase. The results showed that the experimental context was arranged jealous enough to generate responses in situations where there was competition (Phase 2). They also allowed for the operationalization of the variables necessary for the evocation of emotional behavior and jealous of the variables needed to elucidate the implications of feelings coming from individual members of a community social and verbal.
