The perceived infidelity of online sexual activity (OSA) has been noted as an important factor contributing to individual differences in OSA among people in romantic relationships. We proposed that two major factors related to infidelity-sociosexuality (willingness to engage in uncommitted sexual relationships) and commitment-might be associated with engaging in OSA via the perceived infidelity of OSA among individuals in romantic relationships. OSAs were classified as viewing sexually explicit material, seeking sexual partners, cybersex, and flirting. Participants were 313 heterosexuals in romantic relationships who completed measures of OSA experience, sociosexuality, commitment, and perceptions of infidelity. The results showed that more unrestricted sociosexuality and less commitment were associated with more frequent engagement in OSAs. Moreover, perceptions of infidelity mediated these associations of sociosexuality and commitment with OSA. These findings suggest that perceived infidelity is important for understanding the mechanism underlying people's engagement in OSA.
人们在恋爱关系中感知到的线上性行为（OSA）不忠被认为是导致个体在 OSA 方面存在差异的一个重要因素。我们提出，与不忠有关的两个主要因素——社交开放性（愿意进行无承诺的性关系）和承诺——可能通过恋爱关系中个体对 OSA 的感知不忠与参与 OSA 有关。OSA 被分为观看色情材料、寻找性伴侣、网络性爱和调情。参与者是 313 名处于恋爱关系中的异性恋者，他们完成了 OSA 体验、社交开放性、承诺和不忠感知的测量。结果表明，更不受限制的社交开放性和更少的承诺与更频繁地参与 OSA 有关。此外，不忠感知中介了社交开放性和承诺与 OSA 之间的这些关联。这些发现表明，感知不忠对于理解人们参与 OSA 的机制很重要。
