University of Innsbruck researchers say unhappiness may not be the cause, but an end product of a certain kind of morality.

Staying away from the morally disengaged can protect you from the infidelity that they commit so willingly.

Cheating is remarkably widespread in close relationships, according to a new study.

People high in MD seem to feel that it’s OK to do things that they know, logically and morally, are bad.

When it comes to infidelity, they are more likely to cheat, and also to feel their partners do as well.

Looking for the morally disengaged will protect you from those who don’t value your best interests.
