The authors of this paper later performed a partial replication of the study mentioned above (Brewer & Riley, 2010). They found that lower sexual dimorphism in stature (SDS) in extant romantic relationships was generally associated with higher cognitive and behavioral jealousy levels, in line with their previous research findings. | The authors of this paper later performed a partial replication of the study mentioned above (Brewer & Riley, 2010).

However, the following study's findings cast some doubt on the explanations they had utilized to explain why shorter men display higher levels of cognitive jealousy. They found no significant relationships between the male partner's height and the woman's relationship satisfaction or investment into the relationship in general. These findings render the claim that the short men are more protective of their mates as they run a greater risk of cuckoldry somewhat dubious, as one would expect women who were prone to cheat or defect from a relationship to report lower levels of satisfaction with the relationship in general. | However, the following study's findings cast some doubt on the explanations they had utilized to explain why shorter men display higher levels of cognitive jealousy.
