[Excerpt from the news article] People are more like to cheat as they become more economically dependent on their spouses, according to a study released Monday in the June issue of the American Sociological Review. (See journal article by Christin L. Munsch, "Her Support, His Support: Money, Masculinity, and Marital Infidelity." American Sociological Review 80,3 (June 2015): 469-495).

Other media outlets posted similar articles about the research. See, for instance, The Washington Post's 6/4/2015 Wonkblog article "The Fascinating Connection between How Much Married People Make and How Likely They Are to Cheat" by Max Ehrenfreund.
