Sex differences in subjective distress were observed when men and women were asked to imagine their partners being emotionally or sexually unfaithful. Additional sex-linked "violations of trust," such as threats to the couples' economic security or threats to a partner's attractiveness, also were investigated. In Study 1 (60 men, 60 women) and Study 2 (45 men, 43 women), women were more distressed than men by emotional infidelity and by other female-linked violations (e.g., partner losing a job), and men were more distressed than women by sexual infidelity and by other male-linked violations (e.g., partner gaining a considerable amount of weight). Study 3 (30 men, 30 women) examined the possibility that the sex differences in distress reflected within-sex learned relationships among the violations rather than evolved sexual strategies. An evolutionary perspective, in contrast to the alternative analysis, provided parsimonious explanations of the sex differences in subjective distress to emotional and sexual infidelity, and to the other sex-linked violations of trust.
