#825 - Macken Murphy - The New Science Of Why Men & Women Cheat
Modern Wisdom
Understanding the Predictors of Infidelity
Infidelity predictors include previous cheating behavior, with a significant correlation reported: individuals who have cheated in past relationships are three times more likely to cheat again. The general base rate for infidelity suggests that approximately one-fourth of marriages experience infidelity, and slightly over half of individuals will cheat in at least one relationship during their lifetime. This trend appears more common among men. However, while past infidelity increases the likelihood of future cheating, many people may cheat only once in their lifetime, indicating that not all former cheaters continue the behavior. Reliable data primarily focuses on married couples, highlighting a need for improved research on dating relationships. Overall, while infidelity is relatively prevalent, it varies widely among individuals and contexts.
