What This Assessment Explores

Items cover exclusion, shifting closeness, attention, praise, achievements, online activity, and comparison. They examine feelings and responses such as checking, competing, withdrawing, seeking reassurance, or speaking directly. This suits anyone exploring jealousy in friendship, including reactions involving a partner, a friend’s closeness with someone else, or the possibility that an important person may prefer someone else.

Together, they distinguish fear that a friend or partner may prefer someone else from behavioral spillover and self-worth effects. The result presents three dimensions:

• Fear of Replacement (0-15) reflects exclusion sensitivity, from Secure 0-5 through Situational worry 6-10 to Persistent concern 11-15.
• Jealousy-Driven Responses (0-15) shows whether reactions are Manageable 0-5, show Noticeable Spillover 6-10, or reach Strong Behavioral Influence 11-15.
• Social Comparison (0-15) describes levels of comparison influence: Grounded perspective 0-5, Comparison tension 6-10, or Strong comparison pull 11-15.

Methodology and Scientific Basis

Each scenario offers four response options spanning different interpretations and reactions, including direct communication, threat appraisals, competition, checking, pressure, or withdrawal. The result summarizes patterns across dimensions; unspecified response weights do not support inferring a point-by-point scoring rule.

Conceptually, this online questionnaire is consistent with the Friendship Jealousy Questionnaire, which Parker and colleagues studied in 2005 for friendship jealousy and social adjustment. Krems and colleagues’ 2021 research addresses third-party threats, while Vaillancourt and colleagues’ 2024 research adds context for social-media activity. These sources support the themes, but this questionnaire is not presented as their adaptation or validation.

Bers and Rodin’s 1984 study helps explain social-comparison jealousy in the questionnaire: achievement, popularity, or praise can influence self-evaluation without proving rivalry or intent.

The questionnaire is a structured online self-report; this version provides no stated normative comparisons or reliability estimates, and its displayed bands are not clinical cutoffs. Honest self-report can shift with insecurity, memory, context, or the wish to appear fair, so interpret the bands as prompts for examining patterns and communication rather than as a diagnosis.
