Your Theory of Cheating Behavior – Is it just personal or scientific?
Post your detailed theory of cheating behaviors in monogamous, close romantic relationships (or infidelity within marriage).
Stay objective as you would in a Scientific Study.  Do not include your or another individual’s personal experiences.
Utilize the Scientific Process of Observation, Theory Development, Specific Hypotheses, and Hypothesis Testing.

  • In other words,
    • Describe what is cheating.
    • What predicts cheating?
    • What are the underlying theoretical causes or conditions that promote cheating?
    • How cheating behaviors can be changed or controlled?

Include in your post

  • Is your theory is scientific?
    • If so, specifically how can you test and confirm your theory?
      • If not, explain why and be specific.
