Summary: Traits and Patterns of People Who Are Most Likely to Cheat

Query: I’m writing an article exploring the personality traits and psychological patterns of people who are most likely to cheat in relationships. I’m looking for licensed therapists, psychologists, or researchers who can offer insights backed by experience or data. Specifically, I’d love expert quotes on one or more of the following questions:

  1. Are there specific personality traits (e.g., narcissism, impulsivity, attachment styles) linked to cheating?
  2. What early behavioral red flags can indicate someone is more likely to be unfaithful?
  3. How do factors like self-esteem, emotional regulation, or upbringing play into infidelity risk?
  4. Are men and women driven by different motivations when they cheat?

Requirements: Please include your full name, professional title, credentials (license, degrees, or certifications), and a short bio or link to your website. Only responses from verified professionals (therapists, psychologists, counselors, researchers) will be considered for publication. Please keep answers concise (4–5 sentences per question). AI responses won’t be taken into consideration.
