Effects of Infidelity on Men vs. Women Surprise Researchers

Article here. Excerpt:

'How guilty would you feel if you cheated on your partner? The answer has a lot to do with the type of infidelity — and your gender.

Men feel guiltier following sexual infidelity, while women feel guiltier after emotional transgression, a new study finds.

The researchers had hypothesized the opposite. Men, they thought, would feel guiltier if they fell in love with someone else, as women place a high value on emotional loyalty and the resources it provides; similarly, because men's sex drive is considered to be more biologically hard-wired, it was assumed women would have more guilt knowing the pain that sexual infidelity would cause their partner.'

Anything I read from them I take with a whole salt shaker. But it's surprising given the source to read it. The actual content doesn't surprise me though.
