Episode 2243:
Dr. Gwendolyn Seidman explores how our perceptions of infidelity can influence our behavior. By examining social comparison theory and pluralistic ignorance, she reveals why we might overestimate the prevalence and acceptability of cheating, ultimately challenging us to align with our true values rather than perceived norms.

Quotes to ponder:
"Everyone else is doing it, so if I have one little dalliance that wouldn’t be so bad."
"Believing that our friends are unfaithful can make these behaviors seem both more desirable and more likely to occur."
"So if you’re thinking that you might as well cheat because people do it all the time or because most people think it’s not so bad, you should think again."
