Moral Justifications

Marital infidelity is both socially perceived as immoral and very frequent. This contradiction might be explained through the process of moral disengagement, specifically by the use of certain socially shared moral justifications of infidelity, which consequently foster unfaithful behavior. This research developed and examined the Infidelity Moral Disengagement Scale (IMDS), aiming to capture the strategies of morally legitimizing infidelity used among people engaged in marital relationships. Across two studies (total N = 609 married participants) we investigated the dimensions and psychometric properties of the IMDS. Results showed that the dominant strategies of legitimizing marital infidelity are the diffusion of responsibility, the attribution of blame on the cheated partner, advantageous comparisons with other immoral acts, justifying infidelity through certain benefits, and minimizing its negative consequences. The IMDS emerged as negatively related to moral identity and strongly associated to people’s past infidelity and to their tendency to engage in unfaithful behaviors.

Introduction: The aim of current paper was to compare the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment group therapy (ACT) and group cognitive therapy (GCT) on Alexithymia and marital boredom (MB) among women affected by marital infidelity in Mashhad. Method: This clinical trial was a double- blind study with a pretest-posttest design in which two intervention groups and one control group were investigated. The study performed on women who realized their spouse infidelity and referred to Azad University Counseling Center in Mashhad in 2018. The sample consisted of 30 women who were selected by purposive sampling and were randomly assigned to two intervention groups and a control group (n=10 per group). The intervention groups were put under ACT training (twelve 90-minute sessions) and GCT training (twelve 90-minute sessions), but the control group did not receive any intervention. Data was obtained by the Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 and Pines Marital Boredom Scale and was analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance with SPSS (version 22) software. Results: The results showed a significant reduction in the mean score of MB in the ACT group, also there was a significant reduction in the mean score of Alexithymia in the GCT group (P <0.05). So comparing both therapies, ACT was more influential on reducing marital boredom whereas GCT was more effective on reducing alexithymia. Conclusion: Although both intervention methods were effective on Alexithymia and Marital Boredom in women affected by marital infidelity, it was demonstrated that ACT and GCT have more effect on Marital Boredom and Alexithymia, respectively.

Insight Into

The introduction offers an overview of legal issues pertaining to James Joyce's life and work. It reviews the previous criticism on this topic and summarizes/previews the contents of the volume. These synopses become the basis of Goldman's argument that research in legal history offers new insight into the implications of narrative developments in Joyce's Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake. These writings include scenes inflected by laws governing, for example, alcohol, public space, marital infidelity, and tenancy. Joyce's work can be seen as critiquing these and other legal regimes. Goldman argues that reading Joyce alongside the law supports and enriches current strategies in Joyce and modernist scholarship.

Research Analysis

Infidelity is one of the problems which families are involved in and it goes forward to complete separation. Of course, this problem existed long time ago, with this difference that infidelity and polygamy were common categories in families in the past and they were a privilege especially for men. Sometimes, even women themselves were looking for a wife for their husband. However, at the present time, polygamy is not considered as a privilege and value and even women are not willing to share their husband with another woman. This subject has become a problem in families. The research population consisted of students (male and female) of Payame Noor and Azad Universities in Bileh Savar County. All students of Payame Noor University were 500 and students of Azad University were 1000. Since there were no accurate statistics of married students at both universities, and also due to the lack of financial ability and high costs of research analysis, 150 students were randomly selected as the sample of research. Survey research method and questionnaire were used for data collection. Statistical methods were applied in the forms of descriptive statistics (frequency table, percent, charts) and referential statistics (Pearson test, t-test).

This research explored how press outlets and fans framed professional golfer Tiger Woods’s marital infidelity. A textual analysis of newspaper reports and discussion postings on Tiger Woods’s official Facebook page was conducted. Analysis revealed that press accounts framed Woods’s actions as a tragic flaw that precipitated his fall from grace, while also reveling in the salacious details of the extramarital affairs. Conversely, fans primarily framed these incidents as private matters that demonstrated Woods’s human nature. The analysis suggests that social-media sites are valuable public relations tools that athletes can use to quickly generate support that counteracts perceived negative media framing. Social-media sites also enable fans to enhance perceptions of closeness with athletes as fans interject themselves into athletes’ media narratives.
