Married or cohabiting participants score lower on traits associated with Machiavellianism , narcissism, and psychopathy.

Single participants scored higher on Ludus , Mania , Pragma , and Storge .

Couples tend to favor passionate and altruistic love styles, while singles gravitate toward more playful, obsessive, and pragmatic attitudes.

Men were more likely than women to adopt a Ludus love style, suggesting a preference for less committed, more playful relationships.

Men also scored higher on Agape , reflecting a willingness to sacrifice for their partners.

The study sheds light on how psychological factors influence the likelihood of being in a committed partnership versus remaining single.
