Summary

Nutrition label

74% Informative

Infidelity is a common issue, with studies showing that approximately 21% of men and 13% of women in the United States have engaged in infidelity at some point in their lives.

Hostile sexism refers to overtly negative attitudes and beliefs about women, characterized by resentment, mistrust, and a desire to maintain male dominance.

Benevolent sexism involves attitudes that idealize women as needing protection, care, and provision from men.

Women rated the likelihood of infidelity for benevolent sexist men as similar to that of men with no sexist attitudes.

Women correctly identified that a man with hostile sexist attitudes was more likely to be unfaithful.

However, women did not perceive men with benevolent sexist attitudes as being at a higher risk for infidelity.
