A new map from NapLab displaying data on infidelity in every state reveals fascinating social trends and relationship dynamics across America. We see a shockingly high number of people who have either cheated or been cheated on. One hundred percent of respondents from North Carolina, Kentucky, and Alaska reported that they have cheated or been cheated on. Studies like this may reveal common cultural attitudes toward relationships and commitment.
The data is based on a voluntary survey conducted by NapLab, which means the sample size is small; further study could reveal more clarity on the state of fidelity in the United States. Even so, it serves as a jumping-off point for more questions and additional aspects to study. Is there a region where cheating is more common? Does a certain age group cheat more than others? A follow-up study involving more individuals and additional questions would be intriguing, but this map represents a strong start.
