Question

________ refer to singles that would like to marry and are actively seeking a mate. This group includes people who are widowed or divorced and single parents who would like to get married.

Answer 1

Involuntary temporary is the term given to singles who are actively seeking a mate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sociologist Peter Stein developed a typology for describing different forms of being single. Marriage is hegemonic in society in the sense that most adults get married and cohabitate with their spouse. Stein's work brought attention to singlehood as a meaningful lifestyle in its own right. In his work, Stein (1981) developed four categories of people who are single: voluntary/temporary singles, voluntary/stable singles, involuntary/temporary singles, and involuntary/stable singles.
