"In a romantic relationship, these power dynamics might lead the more powerful partner to think they bring more to the table than their less powerful partner," said Professor Gurit Birnbaum, lead author of the study. "The more powerful might see this as a sign that they have more options outside the relationship and are more desirable partners in general."
According to researchers from Reichman University, people who feel more powerful are less dependent on others, think more highly of themselves, and are more confident that others find them desirable.
Previous studies have shown that power can make people feel more confident and entitled, and increase the likelihood that they'll act impulsively. However, until now, there has been little research on how power impacts the chances of infidelity.
The chances of infidelity are 'significantly higher' among more powerful people, including politicians like Bill Clinton, CEOs like Bill Gates, and celebrities like Kris Jenner.
