In the current research, we explored the predictive power of an adapted version of the moral disengagement scale, focused exclusively on online behaviors. We also included age, relationship length and type (i.e., close or long-distance), Facebook addiction, and relationship satisfaction as predictors in our final model. Our sample consisted of 111 young heterosexual Romanian women aged 18 to 36 (M=20.64, SD=3.27. Hierarchical regression analysis suggested that the most important predictor of social media infidelity was Facebook addiction. In our final prediction model, neither of the other considered predictors were significant, though an important, negative association was also found between social media infidelity and relationship satisfaction.
