Preferred term

singlehood  

Definition

  • Although research on human relationships covers relationships with friends, siblings, parents, children, neighbors, colleagues, mentors, and others, most scholarship has been devoted to relationships with romantic partners or spouses. Little research has explicitly focused on the implications of being single. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Relationships; Singlehood]
