Today's older adults are increasingly unmarried. Some are in cohabiting unions, others are dating, and many remain unpartnered. Unmarried older adults are at risk of poorer well-being than the married, but it is unclear whether older cohabitors fare worse than or similar to their married counterparts. Nor have well-being differences among cohabitors, daters, and unpartnered persons been considered. Conceptualizing marital status as a continuum of social attachment, data from Waves I and II of the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project are used to examine how older married, cohabiting, dating, and unpartnered individuals differ across multiple indicators of psychological well-being. Among men, cohabitors appear to fare similarly to the married, and better than daters and the unpartnered. In contrast, there are few differences in psychological well-being by partnership status for women.
如今，老年人未婚的情况越来越普遍。一些人处于同居关系，另一些人在约会，还有许多人没有伴侣。未婚老年人比已婚者面临着幸福感更低的风险，但目前尚不清楚老年同居者的情况是否比已婚者更糟或与他们类似。同居者、约会者和无伴侣者之间的幸福感差异也未得到考量。将婚姻状况概念化为社会依恋的一个连续体，利用“全国社会生活、健康与老龄化项目”第一波和第二波的数据，来研究老年已婚、同居、约会和无伴侣个体在多个心理健康指标上的差异。在男性中，同居者的情况似乎与已婚者类似，且比约会者和无伴侣者更好。相比之下，女性在心理健康方面，不同伴侣状况之间的差异不大。
