These are the 11 most-used strategies for cheating partners who don't want to get caught, according to GrantHBrennerMD
In the first study, 188 women and 109 men, average age in early to late 30s—a third of whom were married, a third in relationships, and the remaining third single —were asked to imagine their were in an “extra-pair” relationship and “write down some things you would do in order to keep this relationship secret from your partner.
Analyzing the frequency and clustering of responses, 11 overarching strategies for hiding infidelity were found, in descending order of popularity:Men and older participants were more likely to report using infrequent contact, and women and younger participants to use a different email or phone. By and large, however, men and women were similar in their likelihood to use these strategies.Machiavellianism strongly correlated with using infidelity-hiding strategies, while psychopathy did not.
Unsurprisingly, dark triad traits were generally associated with greater infidelity. Machiavellianism, the characteristic of being shamelessly manipulative to serve one’s own ends, was associated with a greater willingness to use more infidelity-hiding strategies. Psychopathy was not significant in this study, but one suspects that future research may identify a moderating effect on infidelity strategies.
