engaging in sexual behaviors with someone other than their significant other. The Chi-<br />

Square result was 4.144 at a probability level of .042. (See Table 2).<br />

Subjects from both groups of salesmen who reported they had not engaged in any<br />

sexual behaviors with someone other than their significant other did not respond to Item<br />

(c). Eleven (68.8%) of the original group car salesmen and four (30.8%) of the original<br />

group of other salesmen were remaining to complete the survey questions. The Chi-<br />

Square result ranged from .008 to .170 at a probability level ranging from .680 to .930.<br />

(see Table 2). The findings are statistically significant in regards to what sexual behaviors<br />

constitute an affair as well as car salesmen having engaged in these behaviors more other<br />

than other salesmen, and, therefore, the null hypothesis can be partially rejected.<br />
