41009 - Singlehood and Mental Health

Mon, August 11, 4:00 to 5:30pm, East Tower, Hyatt Regency Chicago, Floor: Concourse Level/Bronze, Randolph 1A

Description

The global single population is increasing, raising important questions about its implications for mental health, both in scholarly debates and in public and political discourse. This session invites papers that examine the relationship between singlehood and mental health. Singlehood is broadly defined to include individuals who have never been legally married, as well as those who are separated, divorced, or widowed. We welcome papers that compare single individuals with their partnered counterparts, as well as those that focus on the heterogeneity within the single population.
