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."
"People just want to feel good. When they face any of a variety of troubles, it is normal to want to counter negative feelings with positive ones; with something that feels good. Think about how stressed, achy people always announce that they need a massage or vacation. Whether they settle on chocolate, a glass (or six) of wine, a hot bath, a couple of pain pills, whatever. This is the same concept as 'comfort food,' as so is my theory."
Distilled to its essence, it is basic brain chemistry, that is almost irrefutable. The feel good chemicals in the brain, the endorphins, the dopamine, the serotonin, these are in high demand, and people tend to do things to get the delivery of these chemicals and feel good to counter the negative feelings, this happens, right or wrong. McAlpin's theory only differs from the accepted version as it adds sex to the list."
His proof? Numbers from his skip tracing site Cellulartrace.com. The investigative agency, which mainly offers cell phone number search investigations, counts suspicious spouses/partners as the bulk of its clientele. But McCalpin insists that people's doubts, and their subsequent requests for information always increase during times of trouble, such as a recessive economy. There have also been spikes in orders from the areas hardest hit by layoffs, etc.
"The post 9/11 stock market plunge absolutely buried us with requests." McAlpin recalls.
Although few customers disclose the reason the want to reverse a phone number, McAlpin says infidelity is the winning reason, and that the trends are really easy to spot.
"When 85-90 percent of searches are females wanting to identify phone numbers belonging to other females, and the same for the male clients, it is pretty clear what's going on. The searches involving people asking for information on people of the same sex jumped from 50 to 90 percent in the weeks after the 9-11 attacks. Also, a ton of new orders from the Palo Alto area spring up after the first round of HP lay offs a few years ago. We're seeing the same thing right now in places facing big layoffs, and the orders coming in from the Detroit metro area show a clear trend, as well. It's, pretty hard to dismiss all of this."
McAlpin said he has seen similar increases in cell phone lookup requests in other geographical areas following disasters and major layoffs or plant closings.
"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 shown that in the vast majority of suspected infidelities, the suspected parties were in fact cheating. It stands to reason then, that the more suspicion of infidelity, as evinced by such requests for information for that stated purpose, the more actual cheating in that area. And with a spike in cheating following an economic or emotional blast, the benefit of whatever doubt is sure to come from professionals in the field of the human psyche should certainly be given to the Adultero Solatium theory.
The lack of definitive detail and corroborating outside evidence supporting the theory will surely lead some to dismiss the merits of the hypothesis. But McAlpin says this doesn't bother him in the least.
"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."
