Can a person's past behavior and personality traits be used to predict if they are likely to cheat in the future? If so, what methods can be used for this prediction?

Studies have consistently shown that individuals who have a history of cheating are more likely to engage in infidelity in future relationships. By conducting in-depth data analysis on behavioral patterns, researchers can identify key traits or patterns that may signal a higher propensity for betrayal.

Some personality traits and behaviors that may indicate a person is more likely to cheat include:

Personality traits : People who are high in extraversion and low in agreeableness, or who have dark personality traits like narcissism, Machiavellianism, or psychopathy, may be more likely to cheat.

Behaviors :Some behaviors that may indicate infidelity include:

Secretive actions

Changes in relationship dynamics

Deviations from established norms or boundaries

Keeping passwords hidden

Sudden increase in workload excuses

Unexplained disappearances

Changes in communication

Increased interest in appearance

More time spent away from home

Attitude changes.

Past behavior can also predict future behavior because well-practiced behaviors become automatic. The frequency of past behavior reflects habit strength and directly affects future performance.
