Are some people born more jealous than other people?

Question

I've noticed some people tend to be more jealous than other people. For example my husband and I aren't very jealous people, and then I know some people who are almost insanely jealous. Do you think this is genetic, or a learned trait?

Answer 1

Genetics and Environment factor into someone's personality.

Answer 2

I think a little of both, but more of a learned behavior based on past experiences or unnatural reaction to being hurt by others and letting it carry over into other relationships.  

Answer 3

I just read the other  day that jealousy is a genetic trait but also

i think thro life's experiences it could be learned.

as learning not to be jealous can happen.

Answer 4

  I think a little bit of both.More of a learned trait than that of a genetic trait.

Answer 5

I believe it's a learned trait. Jealous people see the kind of behaviour they are emulating from family members. Sometimes it's all they know. It's best not to be friends with these types of people.
