Research indicates that conflict may exist between middle-aged men and women in their attitudes about what constitutes offline and online cheating. Research also shows that middle-aged adults struggling with attitudes about offline and online cheating may engage in such behaviors and thereby experience distress, guilt, low self-esteem, feelings of betrayal, rejection, and anxiety. Based on the sexual strategies theory, this study examined attitudes of middle-aged men and women about offline and online cheating. The convenience sample included 124 middle-aged adults from among staff members at a mental health care setting. Attitudes toward offline cheating were measured with the Health Behaviors Survey (HBS) and attitudes toward online cheating were measured with the Docan-Morgan Internet Infidelity Questionnaire (DMIIQ). A series of chi-square analyses showed that perceptions of cheating between men and women did not differ significantly on offline cheating items. The results of t tests revealed that there was a significant difference between the perceptions of men and women about offline cheating on all three domains of the DMIIQ, as well as the overall score. Implications for social change include increased understanding about offline and online cheating behaviors in middle-aged adults that could help therapists guide middle-aged couples in resolving the problems stemming from these behaviors including relationship discord, broken trust, feelings of betrayal, guilt, depression, anxiety, and loss of self esteem.
