Die Studie legt nahe, dass alleinstehende Menschen, die das Gefühl haben, dass ihre grundlegenden psychologischen Bedürfnisse erfüllt werden, tendenziell eine höhere Lebenszufriedenheit und weniger depressive Symptome verspüren.
Who lives a good single life? New data highlights the role of autonomy and attachment

„Who feel their basic psychological needs are met“ does a lot of heavy lifting here.
Single people who are happier are happier. Someone call the Nobel Prize committee.
For those skeptical of „basic psychological needs“, they use a multi-item scale:
>The 24-item Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (BPNSFS; Chen et al. [2015](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pere.70053#pere70053-bib-0019)) assessed how well SDT’s three needs are currently being met. Four items measure satisfaction and four items measure frustration with each need: Autonomy (e.g., “I feel a sense of choice and freedom in the things I undertake,” “Most of the things I do feel like I have to”), relatedness (e.g., “I feel that the people I care about also care about me,” “I feel excluded from the group I want to belong to”), competence (e.g., “I feel confident that I can do things well,” “I have serious doubts about whether I can do things well”).
This is stronger than looking at basic psychological needs as a vaguer concept.
I dont know if people who aren’t in research realize the astonishing amount of studies that are just atrociously put together or have hypothesis/problem which just dont benefit anything.
