Nationwide Study Shows That Faithfulness, Libido and Jealousy Can Predict
How Important Money Is to an Individual
DALLAS, April 14 /PRNewswire/ -- As people across the nation scramble to
file their taxes in time for tomorrow's deadline, TRUEBeginnings(TM), a new
kind of online relationship service that takes the time-consuming guesswork
out of online dating by providing a smarter, more scientific approach to
compatibility, today revealed that sexual traits such as faithfulness, libido
and jealousy can predict how important money is to an individual.
Based on a national survey of more than 9,400 men and women, the study
concludes the following:
* More commitment to money means less commitment to personal
relationships -- Men and women who place a great deal of importance on
money are less likely to be faithful in personal relationships than
those individuals who feel that money is not a top priority.
* Interest in money and sex go hand-in-hand -- The majority of men and
women who are very interested in money tend to have higher-than-
average libido.
* Tendency to be jealous increases as interest in money increases --
Although they tend to be less faithful in personal relationships, men
and women who place high importance on money are more likely to become
jealous.
Additionally, the study found that the amount of importance people place
on money tends to decrease with age, and that money tends to be a slightly
higher priority for women than for men -- except among persons aged 60 or
older, where men tend to be more interested in money than women.
"Anyone who has ever been in a serious relationship is aware that
financial issues affect couples more than just about anything else. So,
instead of exploring the general reasons behind this, we decided to zero-in on
how sex and money affect individuals, specifically whether a correlation
exists between sexual factors -- such as faithfulness, libido and jealousy --
and a person's interest in money," said Dr. James Houran, director of
psychological studies at TRUEBeginnings and a 14-year veteran in the field of
research and clinical psychology. "What we learned is that, in fact, a strong
correlation does exist. People tend to form relationships with money, and the
nature of these relationships have a direct impact on the way we interact with
other people. As a person becomes more involved with money, he or she tends
to be less willing to commit to personal relationships, including romantic
ones. Such people are also more likely to be jealous and tend to be more
libidinous. Clearly, these are traits that individuals should know about
another person before entering into a romantic relationship, and this is
exactly the kind of information our service allows singles to discover.
TRUEBeginnings offers the most comprehensive personality and matchmaking test
available today, helping our members immediately narrow the playing field down
to people with whom they'll be most compatible."
The survey is part of TRUEBeginnings' ongoing effort to conduct, analyze
and release up-to-date scientific data about relationships and online dating.
Not only is TRUEBeginnings the only online relationship-building service that
is endorsed by Psychology Today, it also publishes its research in such
prominent academic journals as the British Journal of Psychology, Personality
and Individual Differences and Psychological Reports.
