Article Synopsis
- The study explored how the desire for independence, perceived achievement, and relationship status are connected among 667 Greek-speaking participants, focusing on singles and those in relationships.
- Results indicated that both men and women who sought more independence were more likely to be voluntarily single; this was particularly significant for men, linking a stronger desire for independence with longer periods of being single.
- Although perceived achievement didn't directly affect relationship status, it was associated with fewer years of being single for men and contributed to higher self-esteem and flirting ability, which played a role in relationship dynamics for both genders.
