Trust, love and loyalty are the three most important things to maintain a relationship for a long time. Loyalty is one such thing that if it turns into infidelity, then love and trust also end. But now the question arises that why does a partner become unfaithful? Is a person's own wish responsible for this or are some changes in the body responsible? Let's see what science says about this.
What does science say?
Researchers at Harvard University and the University of Texas at Austin have recently found that in both men and women, excess testosterone and cortisol hormones are responsible for infidelity and immoral behavior. People who have high levels of these hormones feel happier after cheating on their partner.
Robert Joseph, a psychology professor at the University of Texas, says humans have been aware of how hormones affect our behavior since the early 19th century. But many recent studies have shown how these hormones have the ability to change your behavior.
How do these hormones work?
Scientists say that high testosterone in the body reduces the fear of punishment and increases the sensitivity to achieve something. Whereas high cortisol is associated with long-term stress in the body. This makes the brain weak in deciding right and wrong. High levels of testosterone motivate men to cheat on their partners. At the same time, cortisol creates a reason in the brain, due to which a person cheats on his partner.
Researched people through math questions
To conduct this research, researchers from Harvard University and Texas University asked several people to sit together and solve some math problems. Students were asked to tell us as many math questions as possible.
After everyone answered, the researchers took saliva samples from the students and tested them. The test found that students who had high testosterone and cortisol had exaggerated responses. Whereas those whose hormones were balanced were equally accurate.
