Reiss, Ira, L.; Anderson, Ronald E.; and Sponaugle, G. C., "A Multivariate Model of the Determinants of Extramarital Sexual Permissiveness," Journal of Marriage and the Family, 42 (May, 1980), 395-411.

Abstract:

A causal theory of extramarital sexual permissiveness is attempted. Gender, age, education, religiosity, political liberality, gender equality, marital happiness, and premarital sexual permissiveness are included in a path model predicting extramarital sex attitudes. Additional variables not included in the GSS are discussed but not tested as adding greater predictive power to, this model.
