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.
The theory basically adds another act to the well-known reliance of stressed or distressed people on the relief found in 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."
Reduced down to it's simplest explanation, it is all about basic brain chemistry. The feel good chemicals are in high demand, and people tend to go after them, right or wrong. This theory only differs from the accepted version in that it adds sexual pleasure to the equation."
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.
"The post 9/11 economy buried us with requests," McAlpin recalls. "While others were laying off, we were almost too busy."
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 you have 85-90 percent of customers are women asking for info that ends up being about other women, and the vice versa for the men, it's pretty obvious what's going on. In the weeks after 9/11, when the economy was at a sort of standstill, searches involving people asking for information those of their same sex jumped from 50 to over 90 percent. We're seeing the same things right now in coming out of Detroit and other areas hit by layoffs, and even where future layoffs have been announced."
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.
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'm not going to write a dissertation on this," he says. "If my theory helps someone out, that's great. If someone sees something to this, maybe they'll do some real testing. For me it is just an interesting subplot to tracking my business trends. Who knows, maybe I'll be telling my story to Oprah's audience some day."
