Answer to Question 1

Men are more jealous about acts of sexual infidelity because it is evolutionarily important for men to be concerned about paternity so that they are not supporting someone else's children. Women are more jealous about acts of emotional infidelity because women are theoretically more concerned with whether the man will be there to support her and her children.
