Abstract

Infidelity is a common experience in romantic relationships, and as such, relationships researchers have amassed a large infidelity literature. In the current manuscript, we provide a brief overview of the infidelity literature, specifically focusing on how infidelity is defined, infidelity attitudes, predictors of infidelity, and infidelity outcomes. Next, we introduce readers to the “Charmed Circle,” a theoretical perspective that conceptualizes monogamous sex as part of society's view of “good, normal, and natural” sex, otherwise known as mononormativity. As scholars, we are equally socialized in a system that endorses and reinforces mononormativity. In this article, we call on scholars to engage in reflexivity and consider how mononormativity has shaped the infidelity literature and their approach to research. We highlight pressing questions within the infidelity literature and argue that by questioning our own biases, assumptions, and methodologies, we will be able to further advance our understanding of infidelity.

重新审视魅力圈:反思不忠文学中的未解之谜
在恋爱关系中,出轨是一种常见的经历,因此,恋爱关系研究人员已经积累了大量的出轨文献。在本手稿中,我们将简要概述不忠文献,特别关注如何定义不忠、不忠态度、不忠预测因素和不忠结果。接下来,我们将向读者介绍 "魅力圈 "这一理论视角,它将一夫一妻制的性行为概念化为社会对 "良好、正常、自然 "性行为看法的一部分,也就是所谓的 "一夫一妻制"。作为学者,我们同样被社会化在一个认可并强化一夫一妻制的体系中。在本文中,我们呼吁学者们进行反思,思考一元论如何塑造了出轨文学及其研究方法。我们强调了不忠文献中亟待解决的问题,并认为通过质疑我们自身的偏见、假设和方法论,我们将能够进一步推动我们对不忠的理解。
