Both low conscientiousness and high psychoticism proved to be solid predictors of marital infidelity. Like those high on narcissism, these people flirted, kissed, and dated others more frequently than their more conscientious and less impulsive peers.

These women indicated that they would probably remain with their husbands, even if these men had a one-night stand or a brief affair.
