Abstract

This research aimed to investigate whether there was any relationship between the types of addiction and behavior of infidelity in adult young people, with relationships with caregivers a key in the internal working model (memories, beliefs, expectations) that follows when bonding with pairs or couples are established, among others. Method. It is a descriptive correlational research. Participants: 44 women, 56 men, college-level, with at least one year of living with his current partner (21, bound together by legal and cohabiting 79). Instruments: Chilean adaptation of CAMIR and Multidimensional Inventory of infidelity was used. Procedure: The following steps were performed: ethical Consents by the institution and participants. Registration data inclusion.Application of CAMIR and Inventory Mulidimensional Infidelity. Results: For analysis of results index Pearson correlation and Student t test was used to assess significant differences in the behavior of infidelity. Secure attachment correlated significantly with the subscale of autonomy. The lower rate of infidelity behavior was obtained in participants with safe and rejecting attachment. The worrying addiction negatively correlated with the belief that infidelity is given by an impulse (r = - 216;.Ns ≤ .031). In terms of gender, men reported more frequently in the desire for sexual infidelity. For men and women infidelity does not mean a transgression of his current partner, but love a third.
