Infidelity is considered an unforgivable betrayal. However, not all behaviors considered unfaithful affect the person who suffers them in the same way. Therefore, to have a better understanding of unforgiveness according to different extradyadic behaviors, two studies were designed. Study 1 ( = 240) explored which extradyadic behaviors are considered as more indicative of infidelity. The results revealed that sexual behaviors were considered more unfaithful when compared with technological, emotional/affective, and solitary behaviors. Study 2 ( = 378) examined the influence of experienced extradyadic behaviors on unforgiveness, negative affect, and anxious attachment to the partner. The results showed that (a) sexual and technological behaviors were less frequently forgiven and promoted a more intense negative affect, (b) anxious attachment was predictive of unforgiveness for sexual and technological behaviors, and (c) negative affect mediated the relationship between anxious attachment and unforgiveness for sexual and technological behaviors. These findings and their possible implications for romantic relationships are discussed.
不忠被视为一种不可原谅的背叛。然而，并非所有被视为不忠的行为都会以相同的方式影响遭受这些行为的人。因此，为了根据不同的婚外行为更好地理解不可原谅，设计了两项研究。研究1（N = 240）探讨了哪些婚外行为被认为更能表明不忠。结果显示，与涉及科技、情感/感情以及独处方面的行为相比，性行为被认为更不忠。研究2（N = 378）考察了经历过的婚外行为对不可原谅、负面影响以及对伴侣的焦虑依恋的影响。结果表明：（a）性行为和涉及科技的行为较少被原谅，并引发更强烈的负面影响；（b）焦虑依恋可预测对性行为和涉及科技的行为的不可原谅；（c）负面影响在焦虑依恋与对性行为和涉及科技的行为的不可原谅之间起中介作用。本文讨论了这些发现及其对浪漫关系可能产生的影响
