There has been some controversy surrounding the use of donor insemination (DI) for single women. The purpose of the present study was to compare psychological characteristics of married versus single women who were DI recipients. A total of 17 single women and 17 married women completed psychological questionnaires regarding psychiatric symptomatology, self-esteem, and their attitudes towards DI prior to treatment. There were no significant differences between the groups in psychiatric symptomatology or level of self-esteem. A significant difference was found in the amount of time taken to decide to use DI with single women waiting longer. There were no significant differences between groups in reported concerns about the child. There were significant differences in attitudes towards disclosure with more single than married women reporting that they would tell the child about using DI to conceive.
围绕单身女性使用供体人工授精（DI）存在一些争议。本研究的目的是比较接受DI的已婚女性与单身女性的心理特征。共有17名单身女性和17名已婚女性在治疗前完成了关于精神症状、自尊以及她们对DI态度的心理问卷。两组在精神症状或自尊水平方面没有显著差异。在决定使用DI所花费的时间上发现了显著差异，单身女性等待的时间更长。两组在报告的对孩子的担忧方面没有显著差异。在对披露的态度上存在显著差异，报告称会告诉孩子使用DI受孕的单身女性比已婚女性更多。
