WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Multidimensional Jealousy Scale (MJS) Test - Symptoms and Signs

close relationships jealousy

This measure assesses jealousy as a multidimensional construct across common response domains. The Multidimensional Jealousy Scale (MJS) is a brief self-report instrument designed to characterize emotional, cognitive, and behavioral features of jealousy in relationship contexts.

Respondents rate the extent to which they experience typical feelings, thoughts (e.g., suspicions or concerns), and actions associated with jealousy. The measure contains 24 items and typically requires about 5 minutes to complete. It may be used to support clinical formulation and to monitor patterns of jealousy over time; interpretation should be integrated with clinical history and contextual factors.

The Multidimensional Jealousy Scale (MJS) was developed by Pfeiffer and Wong.
