The study examines perceptions of infidelity, paying particular attention to how these perceptions differ based on biological sex and personality traits, specifically agency and communion and their unmitigated counterparts. The study utilizes a sample of 125 male and 233 female college students. In addition to the personality measures, participants completed a 19-item checklist that assessed their perceptions of specific items that could potentially be construed as infidelity. It was hypothesized that females would construe more items as infidelity than would males. It was also predicted that unmitigated communion and communion would be positively correlated with these perceptions and that unmitigated agency would be negatively correlated with these perceptions. No correlation was predicted between agency and infidelity. All hypotheses were supported. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.
本研究考察了对不忠的看法，特别关注这些看法如何因生物性别和人格特质（即能动性和交际性及其极端对立面）的不同而有所不同。该研究使用了 125 名男性和 233 名女性大学生作为样本。除了人格测量外，参与者还完成了一份 19 项的清单，评估他们对可能被视为不忠的特定项目的看法。研究假设女性比男性更倾向于将更多的项目视为不忠。还预测未缓和的交际性和交际性与这些看法呈正相关，而未缓和的能动性与这些看法呈负相关。能动性与不忠之间没有相关性。所有假设都得到了支持。讨论了对未来研究的影响和建议。
