Abstract

This study uses secondary data from the 2023 Singles in America (SIA) survey to examine differences in loneliness and meaningful social interactions between consensual non-monogamy-inclined and monogamy-inclined men. We also test whether endorsement of traditional dating norms moderates these associations.
