Abstract

The main purpose of the research is to analyze the gender comparison of students’ attitudes toward solitary life and its effective cultural and social factors.
 The current study is implemented in a quantitative method and is a paradigm and deductive strategy. The questionnaire instrument was employed to gather information and data. A research sample of 300 individuals from Kharazmi University has been selected using Cochran's general formula. Using backup theories, eight social and cultural variables were identified as prospective variables that could influence attitudes toward single life.
In general, the results of the study indicated that girls have a more negative attitude toward solitary life than boys. In other words, the desire to marry is greater among girls than among boys. The most significant variable with an increased and immediate and predictive and predictive attitude to single life is the adherence to family values, with a beta coefficient of 0.350, in the case of factors affecting the attitude of single life among girls, and individualism variables with a beta coefficient of 0.322 in the case of boys. However, in the model analysis model, other variables demonstrate that adherence to religious doctrines, which includes significant and reducing variables in both groups, is associated with positive attitudes toward biological abstraction. On the other hand, increased use of social networks has a greater impact on the positive tendency to biological abstraction, which suggests a lack or weakness in cultural policy-making.
Enhancing the quality of life and increasing awareness and skills in the areas of policymaking, strategy, and action by leveraging religious and familial values to fortify all forms of social support.
