Single-at-Heart: What Do We Know about It?

Because of the prominent mention of people who are single-at-heart in the New York Times, I have been getting more inquiries than usual about what it means to be single-at-heart. Research on the concept is just beginning. Below are links to what I have written so far, and what I have learned from the first 1,200 people who took the single-at-heart survey.

The logo, by the way, is from my “Single at Heart” blog at Psych Central. I write just as often about single-at-heart topics at my “Living Single” blog at Psych Today.

Here are some previous posts about “Single at Heart” (other than the survey results, which are in the last section on this page):
