Abstract

ocietal stigma related to this, and how they react to such undervaluing societal perceptions. Never-married Indonesian adults (N=350; Mage=29.79 ± 4.50) participated in this study, where their responses were analysed by thematic coding. The majority of participants stated that they were involuntarily single. The findings indicated four contexts within which they remained single: situational shortcomings, compliance with socially constructed marriage ideals, various perceptions of marriage, and unreadiness to marry. Participants mainly reacted to pressures with polite disregard, which reflected their cultural practice of avoiding conflict. This study provides an introduction to understanding the complexities and challenges for single people in Indonesia, which is still understudied.

已婚社会中单身人士被社会低估的动机和反应:一个印尼的视角

与此相关的社会耻辱，以及他们对这种低估社会观念的反应。未婚的印度尼西亚成年人(N=350;法师=29.79±4.50)参加了本研究，并对他们的回答进行主题编码分析。大多数参与者表示，他们是不由自主地单身。研究结果表明，在四种情况下，他们保持单身:情境缺陷，遵守社会建构的婚姻理想，对婚姻的各种看法，以及不准备结婚。参与者对压力的反应主要是礼貌的漠视，这反映了他们避免冲突的文化习惯。这项研究为了解印度尼西亚单身人士的复杂性和挑战提供了一个介绍，这方面的研究仍然不足。

期刊介绍： Families, Relationships and Societies (FRS) is a vibrant social science journal advancing scholarship and debates in the field of families and relationships. It explores family life, relationships and generational issues across the life course. Bringing together a range of social science perspectives, with a strong policy and practice focus, it is also strongly informed by sociological theory and the latest methodological approaches. The title ''Families, Relationships and Societies'' encompasses the fluidity, complexity and diversity of contemporary social and personal relationships and their need to be understood in the context of different societies and cultures. International and comprehensive in scope, FRS covers a range of theoretical, methodological and substantive issues, from large scale trends, processes of social change and social inequality to the intricacies of family practices. It welcomes scholarship based on theoretical, qualitative or quantitative analysis. High quality research and scholarship is accepted across a wide range of issues. Examples include family policy, changing relationships between personal life, work and employment, shifting meanings of parenting, issues of care and intimacy, the emergence of digital friendship, shifts in transnational sexual relationships, effects of globalising and individualising forces and the expansion of alternative ways of doing family. Encouraging methodological innovation, and seeking to present work on all stages of the life course, the journal welcomes explorations of relationships and families in all their different guises and across different societies.
