We use international survey data recently collected among adults in six countries (Ukraine, Guatemala, Pakistan, the Netherlands, Denmark, and the United States) to examine the global variations in interpersonal violent behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. We find that pandemic-related stress is significantly associated with violent behavior in most countries. Depression emerges as a significant predictor of violence across all countries and as…
Aromanticism, asexuality, and relationship (non-)formation: How a-spec singles challenge romantic norms and reimagine family life
In this study, I demonstrate how individuals on the aromantic and asexual spectrums navigate their sexual and intimate relationships. Through quantitative data analysis as well as interviews with aromantic and/or asexual singles, this study reveals the complexity of sexuality and intersections between sex, romance, and constructs of family. First, I highlight how alloromantic (non-aromantic) asexual singles are most likely to express interest in …
Half of the Picture: A Research Note on Measuring the Sexual Identity Composition of Couples

This study examines the protective effects of friendship on well-being during the pandemic and how these effects differ by income level. Using data from the nationally representative DSL-COVID survey of US adults (N = 1862), we analyze the frequency o…
Love as a Low Priority: Gender and Relationship History Differences in Singles’ Value of Romantic Partnership
This study uses original data from the Dynamics of Social Life During COVID-19 Survey (DSL-COVID) to examine the importance of romantic partnership among heterosexual single adults in the United States. We find that almost 40 percent of single adults report that having a long-term committed romantic relationship is “not at all important” to their lives. However, the importance of finding a romantic partner varies by gender and prior relationship …

We find larger gender differences among the previously married than never married singles. In addition, we document a stronger age…
Heightened vulnerabilities to anti-Asian racism during the Covid-19 pandemic: An Intersectional Analysis
The stability of singlehood: Limitations of the relationship status paradigm and a new theoretical framework for reimagining singlehood
The term single is limited as it is defined as the absence of a romantic partner, which places one's relationship status within a binary, assumes availability for romantic partnership, and implies single is a transitory state preceding union formation. These perceptions of singlehood serve to maintain hegemonic structures of marriage and nuclear family. However, the implications associated with the term single do not represent the experiences of …
Sexuality, romantic orientation, and masculinity: Men as underrepresented in asexual and aromantic communities
This study examines men as a minority in asexual (experiencing low/no sexual attraction) and aromantic (experiencing low/no romantic attraction) communities. First, we situate our research in existing literature on asexuality, compulsory sexuality/compulsory romance, and hegemonic masculinities. In our analysis, we use survey data from the 2020 Asexual Community Survey ( n = 4974) and 2020 Aromantic Census ( n = 3018) to provide evidence that ase…
