About the Book

Scope and method of study. The present study examined when people will or will not engage in cheating behavior by pursuing an individual who is currently in a relationship. The purpose of the present study was to examine the impact of three variables on cheating behavior: relationship status of the target, relationship status of the individual, and gender of the individual. Participants included both single and committed individuals. All participants were shown a photograph of an attractive individual of the opposite gender and a description of the target, which indicated the relationship status of the target. After viewing the photograph and description, participants completed the Willingness to Pursue Questionnaire (WPQ). The ratings were averaged in order to create a composite score of one's willingness to pursue the target, with higher scores on this measure indicating a greater likelihood of pursuing the potential mate. Findings and conclusions. The results revealed three factors that were important in predicting mate poaching behavior: If the individual is single or committed, the gender of the individual, and if the target is single or committed. Consistent with previous research (Clark, Shaver, & Abrahams, 1999), the results showed that in general, men are more willing than women to pursue an opposite-gendered target. However, this pattern changes when one considers the relationship status of the participant and the target. Interestingly, the results showed that single women were more willing to pursue a committed target rather than a single target. That is, single women were more interested in pursuing a man that was unavailable to them. Single men did not show this preference. The results offer new insights into understanding gender differences in cheating behaviors by highlighting the circumstances that lead women to pursue an already committed individual. Previous work on infidelity has primarily focused on the cheating behaviors of men. However, the present findings suggest that men and women may engage in different forms of cheating. For women, it appears that they may be more likely than men to steal people away from their relationship partner.
