- Abstract
Infidelity is a breach in an agreement where the exclusivity arrangements are violated. It is one of the most frequent reasons for deterioration in relationships and in many cases violates the quality of life, integrity and health. Facing its implications, it is necessary to have instruments capable of evaluating the different manifestations and consequences. The objective of this research was to carry out an exploration of the psychometric properties of the Multidimensional Infidelity Inventory of Romero, Rivera and Diaz, with a descriptive instrumental design. We carried out an exploratory factor analysis with varimax rotation in a sample of 500 individuals, with a mean of 20.3 years and a 73.2% of females. We determined factors with eigenvalues greater than 1 and the total variance explained more than 50%. The internal consistency indices with Cronbach's Alpha formula were between 0.818 and 0.978. The results indicated that the instrument is able to measure different categories of infidelity through 4 subscales: unfaithful behavior, reasons for infidelity, infidelity concepts and infidelity consequences. The presented inventory has satisfactory validity and reliability properties that make it useful in the evaluation of infidelity in context.
