高度的宗教信仰一直与过去不忠的可能性降低有关，但这完全是由参加宗教仪式来定义的，这是对生活复杂方面的有限评估。目前的研究利用1998年一般社会调查中的条目开发了9个宗教性子量表，以更全面地探索宗教性和不忠之间的联系。有趣的是，使用已婚参与者(N=1,439)进行的逻辑回归表明，出席与不忠有关，而与信仰、接近上帝、祈祷和其他宗教属性无关。探索性分析还发现，宗教重要性高但出席率低的人更有可能有婚外情，而且缺乏证据表明婚姻幸福会缓和宗教信仰和不忠之间的联系。
High religiousness has been consistently linked with a decreased likelihood of past infidelity but has been solely defined by religious service attendance, a limited assessment of a complex facet of life. The current study developed nine religiousness subscales using items from the 1998 General Social Survey to more fully explore the association between religiousness and infidelity. Interestingly, logistic regressions using currently married participants (N=1,439) demonstrated that attendance, but not faith, nearness to God, prayer, and other religious attributes, was related to infidelity. Exploratory analyses also found that individuals with high religious importance but low attendance were more likely to have had an affair and weak evidence that marital happiness moderated the association between religiousness and infidelity.
