The purpose of the present study was to investigate the validation and factor structure of the Fear of Being Single Scale (FOBSS) in students. In a descriptive-correlation and validation study, 125 and 171 students from single students of one of the higher education institutions of Mashhad were selected through the multi-stage multistage method and completed the Fear of Being Single Scale, Need to Belong Scale, Young schema questionnaire, Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale, Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, Ten-Item Personality Inventory, The Satisfaction with Relationship Status Scale and Life satisfaction Test. Internal consistency, exploratory, and confirmatory factor analysis were analyzed. Results showed that the Fear of Being Single Scale shows the structure of an agent with an explained variance of 64.23%. Confirmatory validity was confirmed. Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the scales varied from 0.82 to 0.88 and split-half coefficients varied from 0.84 to 0.89, respectively. It seems that the Fear of Being Single Scale has good reliability and validity in students.
