Introduction: Internet infidelity is one of the most significant threats to family cohesion in recent years. Identifying the factors associated with marital infidelity is crucial as it can help reduce the risk of family breakdown. The aim of this study was to examine the role of power-seeking, independence, and conscientiousness in predicting internet infidelity among employed married women.
Methods: This study was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The research design was descriptive-correlational, and the statistical population comprised all employed married women working in offices, healthcare centers, and educational institutions in Urmia County during the years 2023–2024. The sample size was determined to be 250 participants, selected through purposive random sampling. Specifically, among the employed married women, those who met the inclusion criteria (such as formal or contractual employment and frequent internet use) were randomly chosen from the pool of volunteers. The research instruments included questionnaires measuring power-seeking, independence, conscientiousness, and internet infidelity.
Results: Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling assistance. Evaluation of the hypothetical model using fit indices indicated that the hypothetical model fit well with the measurement model. The results showed that power-seeking and independence had a positive and significant relationship with internet infidelity, while conscientiousness had a negative impact on this phenomenon. Notably, power-seeking was identified as a stronger predictor of internet infidelity with a beta coefficient of 0.16.
Conclusions: The findings indicated that power-seeking and independence could be suitable predictors of internet infidelity among employed married women, serving as valid indicators for identifying this phenomenon.
