我们认为,当代美国社会的单身成年人是刻板印象,偏见和歧视的目标,我们称之为单身主义的现象。单身主义是一套基本上没有争议的信仰的产物,即婚姻和家庭意识形态。它的前提包括这样的假设:性伙伴关系是一种真正重要的同伴关系,拥有这种伙伴关系的人比没有这种伙伴关系的人更幸福,更有成就感。我们用已发表的关于已婚人士更幸福的说法来说明科学事业似乎是如何受到意识形态的影响的。我们认为,单身的人,尤其是一直单身的女性,比意识形态预测的要好,因为他们确实有积极的、持久的、重要的人际关系。考虑到基于民事(婚姻)状况的实际差异似乎是有限的和小的,单身人数正在增加,对其他各种偏见的敏感性是尖锐的,单身主义的持续存在尤其令人困惑。作为解释,我们考虑从进化心理学,依恋理论,社会问题的角度来看,对夫妇的崇拜的增长,以及提供简单而令人信服的世界观的意识形态的吸引力的论点。
We suggest that single adults in contemporary American society are targets of stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination, a phenomenon we will call singlism. Singlism is an outgrowth of a largely uncontested set of beliefs, the Ideology of Marriage and Family. Its premises include the assumptions that the sexual partnership is the one truly important peer relationship and that people who have such partnerships are happier and more fulfilled than those who do not. We use published claims about the greater happiness of married people to illustrate how the scientific enterprise seems to be influenced by the ideology. We propose that people who are single-particularly women who have always been single-fare better than the ideology would predict because they do have positive, enduring, and important interpersonal relationships. The persistence of singlism is especially puzzling considering that actual differences based on civil (marital) status seem to be qualified and small, the number of singles is growing, and sensitivity to other varieties of prejudice is acute. By way of explanation, we consider arguments from evolutionary psychology, attachment theory, a social problems perspective, the growth of the cult of the couple, and the appeal of an ideology that offers a simple and compelling worldview.
