Race and cheating on spouse

The National Couples Survey asked 593 people if they've slept with someone else since being married. Here are the percentages answering yes by race/ethnicity:

Percent
Whites 6.2
Blacks 17.8*
Hispanics 9.1
Asians 15.4
Amerindians 10.0

* p < .05, two-tail test, compared with whites.


Samples sizes for minority groups are small--only blacks have significantly higher rates. (I know that someone having multiple partners in an open marriage would be included with the cheaters, but this type of arrangement is rare, I think.)

  1. LOL at only 6% of whites cheating. People are obviously not honest on these things.

  2. I'm surprised the Asian number is so high. I imagine it's almost all females.

    To be a noble lenient being is to be enduring a kind of openness to the world, an cleverness to group aleatory things beyond your own pilot, that can front you to be shattered in unequivocally outermost circumstances on which you were not to blame. That says something uncommonly outstanding relating to the condition of the principled life: that it is based on a trustworthiness in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a weed than like a treasure, something kind of fragile, but whose very item attraction is inseparable from that fragility.
