Abstract

We will apply Moral Disengagement to investigate how people with high scores on Dark Tetrad traits justify their infidelity. We will collect survey data from 300 undergraduate students. We will use parallel mediation to analyze the results, expecting individuals high in Dark Tetrad traits to favor strategies like diffusing responsibility.
