Description
From the book : Evolutionary Psychology 11 issue 1 : 159-171.
We generated an inventory of 27 interpersonal behaviors and examined the extent to which participants judged each behavior as cheating on a long-term partner.
We predicted variation in these judgments based on participant sex and attachment insecurity.
Ratings for items ranged considerably; participants rated sexual behaviors as most indicative of cheating, then erotic behaviors, followed by behaviors consistent with a romantic relationship, and then behaviors related to financial support.
Women rated ten items higher than did men, and men’s ratings were higher on a minor financial support item.
Higher attachment anxiety was associated with higher ratings for 18 of 27 behaviors; higher attachment avoidance was associated with lower scores on five items and higher scores on one item.
Principle Axis Factoring identified three dimensions; sexual interaction, behaviors indicating close relationships, and casual social interaction.
We discuss these results using the framework of attachment theory and sex-specific mating strategies.
