以前有报道说，男人和女人对不忠的不同方面感到关切。然而，一些研究人员质疑这种性别差异的存在。这种差异可能是因为那些经历过不忠的人和那些只想象如果发生这种情况他们会有什么感觉的人之间的情绪强度不同。此外，背叛者的情感体验在以往的研究中被忽略了。此外，还没有关于想象和实际情绪之间的差异的调查，一个人的经验，对自己的伴侣或自己的不忠。因此，本研究旨在测试男性和女性以及背叛者和背叛受害者在实际和想象的不愉快中所经历的情绪。结果表明，当参与者想象不忠时，他们的情绪比回忆实际不忠时更强烈。此外，性别差异较大的想象性不忠。
It has previously been reported that men and women are concerned with different aspects of infidelity. However, some researchers question the existence of such a sex difference. This discrepancy might happen because the intensity of emotions differs between those who have experienced infidelity and those who only imagine how they would feel if that happened. Additionally, the emotions that the betrayer experiences have been neglected in previous studies. Moreover, there has been no investigation regarding the differences between imaginative and actual emotions that someone experience regarding ones' partner's or own's infidelity. Therefore, the current study aimed to test the emotions that both men and women and both the betrayer and the victim of betrayal experience in the actual and the imaginative infidelities. Results showed that emotions were more intense while participants imagined infidelity than when they recalled an actual infidelity. Also, sex difference was larger in the imaginative infidelity.
