More opportunity might sound like it should automatically mean more infidelity.
Researchers examined whether the gender composition of people's workplaces was associated with cheating.
For women, however, working in environments containing different proportions of men and women was not associated with infidelity.
The researchers found a different pattern among some groups of men.
This challenges the simple assumption that putting someone around many potential partners inevitably increases cheating.
Opportunity involves more than simply having attractive or available people nearby.
For women in this study, workplace gender composition alone wasn't enough to predict infidelity.
