<![CDATA[Early adulthood is a stage when individuals often initiate romantic relationships, including interethnic dating, which is increasingly common in Indonesia. These relationships face unique challenges, with jealousy being a key issue that can lead to aggression. This study examines the effect of jealousy on aggression in interethnic dating relationships. Using a quantitative approach with a regression analysis design, data were collected from 211 individuals in interethnic relationships through incidental sampling. The Multidimensional Jealousy Scale (MJS) and Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ) were used to assess jealousy and aggression, respectively. Data analysis using ANOVA regression showed that jealousy significantly influences aggression (t = 2.609, p = 0.010), indicating that higher jealousy levels are associated with increased aggression. These findings highlight the need for interventions to manage jealousy in interethnic couples to reduce aggressive behavior. Future studies are encouraged to explore strategies for fostering healthy and harmonious interethnic romantic relationships in Indonesia.]]>
