摘要

在目前的工作中，我们对单身成年人的承诺过程的投资模型进行了调整。通过使用大学生和互联网样本(总N = 647)的两项横断面研究，我们测试了预测关系承诺的相同因素(投资、满意度和替代选择的质量)是否也能预测对单身的承诺。根据这个理论模型，我们发现单身满意度和对单身的投入都与对单身的承诺呈正相关，而单身替代品的质量与对单身的承诺呈负相关。我们还发现，一个人的预期满意度和计划投资都与单身承诺有关，而主观规范与单身承诺无关。此外，我们还测试了对单身的承诺是否与幸福感呈正相关，但这些关联并不显著。我们的研究结果为理解单身承诺的投资模型的适当性提供了初步证据。

Committed to staying single: Adapting the investment model of commitment processes to study singlehood

In the current work, we adapt the investment model of commitment processes for single adults. Across two cross-sectional studies using undergraduate and internet samples (total N = 647), we tested whether the same factors that predict relationship commitment (investment, satisfaction, and quality of alternatives) also predict commitment to singlehood. In line with this theoretical model, we found that singlehood satisfaction and investment in singlehood were each positively associated with commitment to singlehood, whereas the quality of alternatives to singlehood was negatively associated with commitment to singlehood. We also found that a person's expected satisfaction and planned investment were each associated with commitment to singlehood, whereas subjective norms were not associated with commitment to singlehood. In addition, we tested whether commitment to singlehood was positively associated with well-being, but these associations were nonsignificant. Our findings provide initial evidence for the appropriateness of the investment model for understanding commitment to being single.
