Inferential statistics were applied to analyze the data which was collected. Results showed that there was a significant correlation between narcissistic personality and Ludus love style with infidelity.

Findings also indicated that narcissistic personality was a significant predictor to infidelity however, Ludus love style and love satisfaction was not a significant predictor to infidelity.
