Question

According to the study on infidelity among married couples, high scorers on the personality variables of __________ and __________ gave a higher probability of infidelity.

Answer 1

The correct answer is narcissism; impulsiveness

Narcissism is a harmful behavior that manifests itself individually and collectively, bringing socioenvironmental consequences.

Narcissism can be approached from the point of view of both the individual and the culture as a whole. In the second case, it is seen as a consequence of the consumer society, in which the individual's image, associated with what he consumes, is the object of spectacle. The spectacularization of consumption based on image is a cultural behavior that manifests itself globally and brings with it environmental consequences.

Impulsiveness is characterized by a set of multidimensional behaviors that are related to the difficulty of delaying immediate gratification. Impulsivity can be considered as an inefficient adjustment to unpredictable situations. The impulsive individual wants his pleasure in the present moment and finds it difficult to postpone immediate gratification, to wait for what will come in the future. There are some behavioral stages that characterize impulsivity: first there is an impulse resulting from growing tension, then the pleasure of doing something to relieve the will and finally the guilt for having done the action, which may or may not occur.
