Scientists conducted a large-scale study of infidelity in couples.
A group of researchers from the University of Texas under the direction of David bass made the conclusion: men and women differ not only in the motivation of infidelity, but understanding its value.
According to David bass, the genders going to commit adultery for a variety of reasons. “People cheat because they are bored, want diversity in the intima, out of revenge, because of emotional or personal dissatisfaction, a thirst for adventure, and so on. The reasons are as varied as the motives,” said the psychologist.
The specialist argues that the causes of cheating in men and women can be the same, but in General men are much more likely than women to cheat for purely sexual reasons, solely from the desire of sensual diversity. Women are more prone to change due to the fact that they are unhappy with the partner for them cheating is the attempt of a bad, disappointing relationship.
Psychologists concluded that men and women are completely different evaluations of the value of perfect betrayal. “Men, in particular, consider cheating only intercourse, while women are more likely to think a betrayal of an emotional affair on the side. Women’s infidelity is a broader concept than for men, it includes not only physiological contact, but feelings,” stated the experts.
After analyzing the data of several studies, American psychologists came to the conclusion that in a situation of adultery, women are more upset about the emotional aspect of infidelity is that the partner chose to communicate with the other. For men the tragedy of infidelity by a partner is the realization of the fact that the woman had sex with someone else.
As for men cheating, experts say it’s only a matter of opportunity that does not depend on a prosperous marriage. “The chances of infidelity have happily and unhappily married men are approximately equal. The more women a man shows sexual interest, the more likely that it will change,” said scientists.
