Pourquoi une personne ayant déjà un partenaire (fiancée ou mariée) préfère s'éloigner des laisons illicites avec des "personnes charmantes" alors que l'humain a plutôt tendance à préférer les gains (plaisirs) rapides que ceux du long terme?
La conclusion d'une récente étude du psychologue Gian Gonzaga de l'université de Californie peut être résumée en ces termes : "l'amour est non seulement aveugle, mais il nous rend aussi aveugle aux charmes de personnes autres que la personne aimée."
Une conclusion qui démontre que le président français Nicolas Sarkozy n'est pas amoureux de sa femme Carla Bruni puisqu'il n'a pu s'empêcher d'exploser en vol au contact de "la bombe" Bar Refaeli!

Scientists solve puzzle of why we're happy to stay faithful to the partners we love
Love has always been something of a puzzle for scientists - not least working out why so many of us are happy to remain faithful. According to evolution's cold logic, giving up the chance of an illicit liaison does not make sense because we usually choose immediate gains over long-term ones.
But social psychologist Dr Gian Gonzaga thinks he has cracked how the emotion of love keeps us out of the arms of good-looking strangers and why it may have evolved to keep families together.
Dr Gonzaga, formerly of the University of California and who now works for an online dating service, studied 60 students who had been in relationships for an average of three years to photographs of attractive strangers.
One group of 20 was asked to write about the time they felt the most love for their boyfriend or girlfriend.
Another 20 wrote about when they felt the most sexual desire for their partner. The final 20 were allowed to write about anything.
During the experiment, New Scientist reports today, the students ticked a box every time they thought about the attractive stranger in the photograph.
Those in the "love" group thought about the person in the photograph only a third as often as the "sexual desire" group, and a sixth as often as the "control" group.
Dr Gonzaga said: "This suggests love serves a function distinct from desire and that love can operate as a commitment device."
