TORONTO, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- Fear of being single is a meaningful predictor of settling for less in relationships among both men and women, researchers at the University of Toronto say.
Lead author Stephanie Spielmann, a post-doctoral researcher in the University of Toronto's Department of Psychology, said the research team surveyed several samples of North American adults, consisting of University of Toronto undergraduates and community members from Canada and the United States. The samples included a wide range of ages.
