This research project investigated the relationship between
infidelity and the car sales profession. Twenty-nine salesmen participated
in the project. Sixteen salesmen were car sales professionals and thirteen
salesmen sold another type of product. Both groups of salesmen
responded to the questionnaire that the researcher developed.
From the questionnaire a statistical analysis was compiled to
determine if there was a difference between the car salesmen and other
salesmen in regards to infidelity. The hypothesis was that there would be
a difference between the rate of infidelity among certain types of
salesmen, car salesmen having the higher rate. Significant differences were
found between the rate of infidelity among car salesmen versus salesmen
from other product types. Implications of the findings are discussed and
recommendations for counselors, car dealerships, and future research
projects are given.
