Extramarital Sex and Marital Dissolution: Does Identity of the Extramarital Partner Matter?

Abstract:

:Panel data from married adults (N = 1,853) in the General Social Survey, a probability sample of the adult household population of the United States, were used to evaluate (a) the longitudinal association between extramarital sex and marital dissolution 2 years later, (b) whether probability of marital dissolution differed as a function of the type of relationship people reported having with their extramarital sex partner, and (c) the degree to which these associations were incremental to participants' level of marital satisfaction at baseline. Compared to people who reported not engaging in extramarital sex, those who reported engaging in extramarital sex at baseline were significantly more likely to be separated or divorced 2 years later. Furthermore, the association between having extramarital sex with a close personal friend and marital dissolution was particularly strong. These associations remained statistically significant after adjusting for marital satisfaction. Results suggest that the identity of the extramarital sex partner and the type of relationship a person has with him or her has important implications for probability of marital dissolution above and beyond the contribution of marital satisfaction. :Se utilizaron los datos de panel de adultos casados (N = 1,853) de la Encuesta Social General (General Social Survey), una muestra probabilística de la población de hogares de adultos de los Estados Unidos, para evaluar (a) la asociación longitudinal entre las relaciones sexuales extramatrimoniales y el divorcio dos años después, (b) si la probabilidad de divorcio difirió como una función del tipo de relación que las personas informaron tener con su pareja de relaciones sexuales extramatrimoniales y (c) el grado en el cual estas asociaciones aumentaron según el nivel de satisfacción matrimonial de los participantes al inicio del estudio. En comparación con las personas que informaron no tener relaciones sexuales extramatrimoniales, aquellos que sí informaron tener relaciones extramatrimoniales al comienzo del estudio tuvieron muchas más probabilidades de estar separados o divorciados dos años después. Además, la asociación entre tener relaciones sexuales extramatrimoniales con un amigo íntimo personal y el divorcio fue particularmente fuerte. Estas asociaciones continuaron siendo estadísticamente significativas después de ajustar teniendo en cuenta la satisfacción conyugal. Los resultados sugieren que la identidad de la pareja extramatrimonial y el tipo de relación que una persona tiene con ella repercuten considerablemente en la probabilidad de divorcio más allá del aporte de la satisfacción matrimonial. :本论文的研究对象来自从美国的社会普查中提取的固定样本数据,他们有可能代表美国家庭成年人口的状况。具体而言所调查的人群是1853名已婚成年人,调查评估的内容涵盖以下几个方面:(a)婚外性和两年后婚姻解体之间的长期性关联,(b)婚姻解体的可能性是否会因为人们报告的与婚外性伴侣关系的类型的不同而有不同,(c)这些关联性导致被调查者的婚姻满意度的底线水平有所增加的程度。和那些没有报告婚外性行为的人们相比,那些报告了在婚姻底线有婚外性经历的人们有很大差别,他们更有可能分居或者两年后离婚。而且,在婚外与比较亲密的个人朋友发生性关系,这种婚外性与婚姻走向解体之间的关联性非常强。这些关联性在为了婚姻满意度进行调适之后仍然存在统计学上的显著性。研究表明,婚外性伴侣的身份和婚外出轨的一方与他或她的关系类型对婚姻是否可能走向解体有重要的影响, 其在促成婚姻满意度的能力之上和之外。.
