  • To explore gender differences and moderation in the relationship between parental status and infidelity.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional survey of 1,070 romantically partnered U.S. adults.
  • Analysis using linear and binary logistic regressions.
  • Inclusion of parental status, gender, and stressful relationship events as variables.

Main Results:

  • Parents reported higher desire for and engagement in infidelity compared to non-parents.
  • Men reported higher desire and engagement in infidelity than women.
  • Gender did not moderate the association between parental status and infidelity.

Conclusions:

  • Parents and men may be more vulnerable to pandemic-related stress regarding infidelity.
  • Targeted social support could benefit parents and men experiencing relationship stress during crises.
  • Understanding these dynamics is crucial for relationship resilience in stressful periods.
