Abstract :This study aims to determine the relationship between borderline personality organization and tendency to infidelity. The research consisted of a total of 400 young adults, 251 (62.0%) of whom were female participants and 154 (38.0%) were male, who volunteered to participate. The Socio-Demographic Information Form, Borderline Personality Questionnaire (BPQ), and Infidelity Tendency Scale (SCIT) prepared by the researcher were used in the study. The data collected online were coded appropriately and transferred to SPSS 25 program for analysis. Prior to conducting the analysis, the assumption of normal distribution was checked and it was found that all measurement tools were suitable for normal distribution. According to the research findings, a positive relationship was found between borderline personality traits and tendency to infidelity. Subsequently, a regression model was established based on this relationship. According to the result of the regression model, impulsivity, abandonment, and psychosis-like situations were found to be significant predictors for the dependent variable of tendency to infidelity. It was observed that the effect of impulsivity, abandonment, and psychosis-like situations as independent variables on infidelity was positive. Impulsivity was found to be the best variable that explained the changes in the tendency to infidelity. These findings indicate that impulsivity is the best variable that explains the changes in the tendency to infidelity.
