摘要

利用 COVID-19 期间社会生活动态调查（DSL-COVID）的数据，我们研究了在全球流行病和孤独流行病中单身人士对约会和浪漫关系的兴趣。本研究提供了一个性别生命历程视角，以了解单身人士恋爱兴趣低的异质性。我们发现，与从未结过婚的单身男女相比，已婚单身男女的性别差异更大。此外，我们还记录了单身女性比男性在低恋爱兴趣方面更强烈的年龄梯度。我们证明，与单身女性相比，以前结过婚的单身男性的恋爱兴趣可能更容易受到孤独感的影响。这些结果表明，除去控制因素，孤独的单身男性表达了最强烈的寻求浪漫的愿望，而单身女性则表达了较低的浪漫兴趣。总之，我们认为有可能有一部分单身人士会表现出较低的恋爱兴趣，将他们纳入研究范围对有关结合和家庭形成的社会科学研究具有重要意义。

Is Everyone “Looking for Love?” Trends in Romantic Relationship Interest Among Singles During COVID-19

Using data from the Dynamics of Social Life During COVID-19 Survey (DSL-COVID), we examine dating and romantic relationship interest among singles amid a global pandemic and loneliness epidemic. This study provides a gendered life course perspective to understanding the heterogeneity of singles’ low romantic interest. We find larger gender differences among the previously married than never married singles. In addition, we document a stronger age gradient for single women than men in low romantic interest. We demonstrate that previously married single men’s romantic interest may be more responsive to loneliness than that of single women. These results suggest that lonely single men express the strongest desires to seek romance, net of controls, while single women express lower romantic interest. Overall, we argue for the possibility that a non-trivial segment of singles may exhibit low romantic interest, and their inclusion is important for social science research on union and family formation.
