The first study relating to the coping strategies mentioned by the authors was conducted by White and Mullen (1989). In this study, White and Mullen (1989) recognized and categorized eight distinct coping strategies for managing jealousy, such as denial and seeking social support. Buunk (1981) conducted a study that identified four distinct coping strategies that help people manage their jealousy within an open marriage. In another study, it was suggested that people tend to downplay specific traits of their competing partner that they believe are important to their romantic partner (Schmitt, 1988). Autonomy, self-reinforcement and psychological distancing are three psychological adaptation strategies mentioned by Salovey and Rodin (1988). Even more related to the present study, Buss (1988) and Buss and Shackelford (1997) have devoted research to the study of strategies used to retain partners. Continue the literature
