Objectives Online infidelity is a new phenomenon that has increased due to advancements in technology. This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of social-emotional loneliness in the relationship of the quality of marital relationships and dark personality traits with online infidelity in Iranian married couples.
Methods This descriptive survey study was conducted on 434 married couples in Mashhad, Iran, who were active in social media applications, including Telegram, WhatsApp, and national applications (Bale, Eita, etc). A demographic form (age, gender, educational level, number of children, age difference between couples, and marriage duration), Jenison and Wister’s dark triad scale, Chondoy et al.’s relationship quality scale, the internet infidelity scale, and DiTommaso et al.’s Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults were used to collect data. Structural equation modeling and path analysis were used to check the relationship between the study variables using Smart PLS software.
Results Most of the participants were female (89.4%), and their mean age was 32.41±5.74 years. The total effect and direct path between dark personality traits and online infidelity were significant (P<0.05). The marital relationship quality had an indirect relationship with online infidelity through socio-emotional loneliness (P=0.023). No mediating role was observed for social-emotional loneliness in the relationship of dark personality traits and the quality of marital with online infidelity (P>0.05).
Conclusion The results reveal the importance of social-emotional loneliness in the relationship between the quality of marital relationships and online infidelity in Iranian married couples. Its effect on the relationship of dark personality traits and the quality of marital relationships with online infidelity is not significant.
