There is little chance this will get by the truth meter as present, but a web-based investigator has developed a theory linking job, financial, and other stresses, with an increase in cheating. Comparing it to other, well-accepted science, the idea for Mark McAlpin's Adultero Solatium (a combination of the Latin words for unfaithful spouse and solace, as in compensation) theory adds numbers from his own extensive PI experience with a bit of layman psychology, and roughly understood biochemistry. Though non even a scientific novice, the infidelity investigator says he has been toying with the concept for a long time, and the numbers have pointed toward supporting the theory.
In essence, the theory builds on the well-known reliance of stressed or upset people on their indulgence in "comfort food."
"The human body wants to feel good. When people face physical, emotional or even mental pain or stress, they normally engage in activities that will either remove the pain or counter it with pleasure. Chocolate, ice cream, booze, a hot bath or log message, illegal drugs, pick your poison."
Diluted to it's simplest explanation, it's all about brain chemistry. Endorphins, serotonin and dopamine. People who are stressed or upset actively seek out pleasure to dull the pain. This theory is only different from the accepted psychological responses in that it includes sexual and/or emotional pleasure."
This theory is based on info culled from the investigator's skip tracing site Cellulartrace.com. The investigative agency, which offers cell phone search options, has always done more work for suspicious spouses/partners than for any other group. But McAlpin says orders based on such suspicions always increase during poor economic times, such as today. There have also been spikes in orders from areas where economic trouble has evinced itself.
"After 9-11, we were buried us with orders. It was crazy, and that's what really got me paying attention the the numbers," McAlpin recalls.
Although customers don't always confess the reason for the investigations they request, McAlpin says trends are pretty easy to spot.
"When over ninety percent of searches are women asking you to investigate other women, it is pretty clear what is happening. When investigations involving people seeking info on people of their same sex jumps from 60 to 90 percent in the weeks following 9/11 or a ton of new customers from the Palo Alto area spring up after the first round of HP lay offs, it's pretty hard to dismiss the trends."
The seasoned PI says he has seen similar spikes in phone number search orders from clients in other areas hit with economic trouble, or natural disasters.
"There are obviously smaller examples of the same thing, but I can't look into every increase from every part of the country. There are obviously layoffs, plant closings, fires floods, etc. I'm sure the theory is would hold up in those places, as well."
It has been statistically proven that in the majority of suspected infidelities, those casting doubt were in fact cheating. So it stands to reason that the more suspicion of a cheating partner, as evinced by all these phone number trace orders, the more actual infidelity there is. And with a spike in cheating following an economic or emotional negative, the so-called experts in academia may be willing to give this theory the benefit of the doubt.
People in the scientific and psychology fields might dismiss this as a baseless charge, but that doesn't seem to bother McAlpin at all.
"I have no plans to write a dissertation on this, I just find it interesting. If this theory helps someone discover, or better yet avoid, hanging a scarlet "A" on themselves or seeing one on their spouse, great. If those in the behavioral field see some merit, maybe someone will conduct some research that will bear the seal of scientific approval. For me it is just an interesting footnote to the way I track business trends."
