The purpose of this study was to examine whether gender and culture of honor were associated with the type of infidelity (sexual or emotional) that affected our subjects more. Samples of 192 Portuguese university students (119 women and 73 men) and 415 Brazilian university students (214 men and 201 women) participated in this research. Participants responded to six dilemmas reflecting a type of infidelity (sexual or emotional), a gender scale, and a culture of honor scale. The results of both samples are compatible with the cultural theses about jealousy. Both men and women were more affected by emotional infidelity. In addition, it was found that the relationship between the sex of the participants and the type of infidelity that induced stress in them was affected by sociocultural variables, such as culture of honor, masculinity, and femininity. Some differences in the response patterns in the case of an infidelity, in both samples (Portuguese and Brazilian), are shown and discussed.
本研究旨在探讨性别和荣誉文化是否与更能影响研究对象的不忠类型（性不忠或情感不忠）有关。该研究的样本包括 192 名葡萄牙大学生（119 名女性和 73 名男性）和 415 名巴西大学生（214 名男性和 201 名女性）。参与者回答了六个反映不忠类型（性不忠或情感不忠）的两难情境、一个性别量表和一个荣誉文化量表。两个样本的结果都与关于嫉妒的文化假设一致。男性和女性都更容易受到情感不忠的影响。此外，还发现参与者的性别与导致他们压力的不忠类型之间的关系受到社会文化变量（如荣誉文化、男子气概和女性气质）的影响。还展示和讨论了两个样本（葡萄牙和巴西）在不忠情况下反应模式的一些差异。
