The belief that a good relationship will keep people from cheating is tested in new research on infidelity in couples. The findings show who’s most likely to cheat and why.
According to a new study, unhappiness may not be the cause, but an end product of a certain kind of morality.
If you’ve ever been on the losing side of a cheater’s behavior, you know how painful and unsettling this can be. When the cheater is, or was, your romantic partner, it’s particularly disheartening. Not only did you trust this person to be honest with you, but you have also done everything you could to be on the up-and-up yourself. How did this happen?seems particularly pernicious.
However, what if you just don’t think that something wrong was wrong at all? And, as the authors suggest, what if your partner has a similar view on morality? The purpose of their couples-based study was to find out whether infidelity can be better understood when two partners, rather than one, rate their beliefs in morality and their tendencies to disengage.
The authors assessed infidelity with a 33-item list of behaviors used in previous studies, in which partners indicated whether the behavior constituted cheating, whether they committed the behavior, and whether their partner committed the same behavior. Examples of cheating behavior included secretly meeting an ex, masturbating, and exchanging phone numbers with an attractive person.
