Abstract

ABSTRACT The family model of single mothers by choice (SMCs) is spreading in western industrial nations in the last 30 decades. Since gender equality and new methods in reproductive medicine do not sufficiently explain this phenomenon, this exploratory quantitative study investigates the psychological factors of SMCs assessing attachment style, social support, and Big Five personality traits issuing an online survey to 131 SMCs. In addition, this study aims to gather information about SMCs in German-speaking countries to close a research gap. Findings indicate similarities in characteristics between German-speaking SMCs and internationally reported SMCs. Independent-samples t-tests showed significant differences from the corresponding German norm sample in personality traits (conscientiousness, extraversion, and openness to experience), attachment style, and social support.

德语国家单身母亲的选择：来自一项在线调查的依恋风格、社会支持、性格特征和动机

摘要近30年来，选择单亲妈妈的家庭模式在西方工业国家广泛传播。由于性别平等和生殖医学的新方法并不能充分解释这一现象，本探索性定量研究调查了SM评估依恋风格、社会支持和五大人格特征的心理因素，并对131名SM进行了在线调查。此外，本研究旨在收集德语国家中小企业的信息，以缩小研究差距。研究结果表明，讲德语的SMC与国际报道的SMC在特征上有相似之处。独立样本t检验显示，在人格特质（尽责性、外向性和对经验的开放性）、依恋风格和社会支持方面，与相应的德国常模样本存在显著差异。
