A study has revealed that cheating really does run in the family, at least as far as men are concerned. A team of Czech scientists carried out the study that confirmed the old adage &#39;&#39;like father like son&rsquo;. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/may/blame-daddy.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 699px; " /> They concluded that while men and women both had affairs, men were more likely to stray if their fathers had been unfaithful as they were growing up, reports a major newspaper. The scientists, based at Charles University in Prague recruited 86 couples for the research. They found that whether or not a man was satisfied and happy in his main relationship had no effect on the likelihood that he would stray. Men usually have affairs because they want sex and a greater number of sexual partners, not because they are fed up with their wives, he said. It&#39;s a matter of power! Scientists believe that it is a person&#39;&#39;s power, rather than gender, that plays the greatest role in infidelity. A team of researchers conducted an anonymous Internet survey of 1,561 adults and found that there is a higher risk of unfaithfulness in people of positions of power, no matteru00a0the sex. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/may/08power-couple.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 345px; " /> The study revealed two key discoveries to why powerful people cheat. First, there is a strong association between power and confidence, and the amount of confidence a person has is the strongest link between power and unfaithfulness. Second, the researchers found that among powerful people, gender made no difference in past digressions or the participants&rsquo; desires to cheat.
