Response to Peer 1 Discussion (V.P.)

Please Response to Peer 1 Discussion below. I am not looking for a summary of an article. I am looking for new ideas to a topic from peer-reviewed articles for the last 5 years. If you rehash and reiterate something that was already stated in a post or something basic that we all already know, then you will not gain points. Do not state whether you agree or not. I am not interested in your opinions; I would rather you write something interesting. You are not writing social media and opinion pieces. Your posts should be free of bias and opinion. Avoid adjectives like "crucial" and "critical" etc. because in APA, those words must be defined, and because they seem opinionated and biased. Merely state findings and facts. Avoid exaggerated comments to your peers like "that was excellent." Just thank them and write your contribution. If your posts are just repeats of nothing new and filling up white space, then you will not gain points. I do not like fluff. This case study is meant to quell bias and negative attitudes and to gain a deeper understanding of how we look at human behaviors. I am not interested in whether you agree or not with your peers' statements. Please avoid comments such as "as providers we must remember to remain unbiased" or "our role is not to judge." These are quite obvious and overused themes that offer us nothing new. Please, no personal disclosure or personal experiences about this topic. NO journalistic or social media styles of writing please. Your job is to present what the peer-reviewed scientific literature has to offer. Use peer-reviewed JOURNAL ARTICLES. Synthesize and cite. Do not write for example "A study by Lopez, Johnson and Dahlgren (2007) found. Just paraphrase what the findings are and cite. Personality Disorders, Traits, and Behaviors Different factors contribute to extramarital affairs in married and unmarried couples. Executive control has been linked to extramarital affairs. A person with executive control can alter behavior, feelings, and thoughts to suit a certain goal (Khorramabadi et al., 2019). Higher executive control is related to the maintenance of processes such as anger management, refraining from domestic violence, forgiveness, and faithfulness in intimate relationships (Khorramabadi et al., 2019). A demographic factor such as gender has been researched and the results have shown that infidelity is higher in men than in women (Mark et al., 2011). However, the research indicated a narrowing gap as more women are prone to engaging in other forms of infidelity that are not necessarily intercourse such as kissing and emotional connection (Mark et al., 2011). Religious factors affect human behavior regarding commitment in marital relationships. It is reported that individuals who are not affiliated with religious beliefs engage more frequently in infidelity (Mark et al., 2011). Highly educated individuals with higher incomes engage more frequently in infidelity than those with lower income and education levels. This could probably be attributed to their wide professional and personal experiences. Interpersonal factors that are associated with satisfaction and the quality of the relationship also have an impact on the occurrence of infidelity. For instance, sex outside marriage has been linked to low marital satisfaction and discontent in marriage (Mark et al., 2011). Personality traits of a person have been linked to extramarital affairs. Studies on the Big Five traits of personality show that high psychoticism, low conscientiousness, high neuroticism, low agreeableness, and being an extrovert could lead to infidelity (Roos, et al, 2019).
