"'Our recent research found that parents, compared to non-parents, reported higher desire for and engagement in infidelity during periods of significant external stress, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.'"
"'Men also reported greater desire and behaviour than women in general.'"
"'These findings suggest that parents, and men in particular, may be especially susceptible to infidelity-related risk factors during high-stress life events.'"
"'Targeted support for these individuals and their relationships may be especially important when navigating periods of collective or personal strain.'"
Men are more prone to infidelity during high-stress life events, according to a study involving over 1,000 adults in committed relationships during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nineteen percent reported cheating. Men expressed a higher desire for infidelity than women. Parents had higher engagement in affairs than non-parents, with no significant difference between fathers and mothers. Those in older age groups showed a greater inclination towards cheating. The findings suggest a need for targeted support for men and parents during stressful times to protect relationships.
