The statistical population included parents of elementary school students in Saveh city (Iran). Participants were 115 of parents were randomly selected. The tools include Whately's attitudes toward infidelity scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and Berzonsky Identity Style Inventory. The data were analyzed using regression analysis and Pearson correlation test. Pearson's correlation test showed that there is a correlation between the attitude towards infidelity with life satisfaction and normative identity style. According findings, it can be concluded that satisfaction with life and normative identity style predict the attitude towards infidelity, negatively.
