Advantages and disadvantages of singlehood in young adult singles' perception
Abstract
The research field of this paper are the advantages and disadvantages of singlehood
in young adult singles' perception. This subject, surprisingly, arouses greater interest
among sociologists and demographers than among psychologists. The consequences of
this state of affairs is that information about the psychological issues of the nevermarried
population is limited. The goal of the study was to see the advantages and disadvantages
of in young adults' perception. This research so called narrative-biographical
interviews proposed by Schiitze was conducted with 36 participants not having partners
(22 women and 14 men) in the age of 21-30 years. Participants' responses were grouped
into five categories referring to advantages of being singled. I called these categories as
follows: (1) "Independence and freedom", (2) "Time for myself", (3) "No emotional
sacrifice", (4) "No advantages ", (5) "Fewer expenses". The participants' responses were
also grouped into five categories referring to disadvantages of being singled. I called
these categories as follows: (1) "The lack of emotional and physical closeness", (2) Lonely
, (3) "No disadvantages", (4) "The pressure of environment ", The main conclusion of
this study is that in young adults singles' perception it is hard to indicate exclusively
there are only advantages and disadvantages of their singlehood. This situation is related
both with advantages and disadvantages and we cannot state that singlehood
means only bright or dark sides of life.
