Abstract

Abstract Infidelity represents a major threat to relationships, often resulting in dissolution of couples. The process from infidelity to potential breakup was studied in 92 couples using questionnaires concerning hypothetical scenarios of sexual and emotional infidelity. Structural equation model analyses using couple data for both infidelity types suggest that the level of perceived threat to the relationship was the main predictor of likelihood of breakup for men and women. Following each type of imagined infidelity, this effect was partly mediated by forgiveness. For emotional infidelity, level of blame was associated with forgiveness and breakup. The effect of blame on breakup was fully mediated by keeping less distance. The mechanisms involved in these processes were highly similar for women and men.

假设性或情感不忠后分手的可能性：感知的威胁、指责和宽恕

摘要不忠是对人际关系的主要威胁，通常会导致夫妻关系破裂。对92对夫妇进行了从不忠到潜在分手的过程研究，问卷调查涉及性不忠和情感不忠的假设场景。使用两种不忠类型的夫妻数据进行的结构方程模型分析表明，对关系的感知威胁程度是男性和女性分手可能性的主要预测因素。在每一种想象中的不忠之后，这种影响在一定程度上都是由宽恕来调节的。对于情感不忠，指责的程度与原谅和分手有关。指责对分手的影响完全是通过保持较少的距离来调节的。参与这些过程的机制对妇女和男子来说非常相似。
