Book excerpt: What factors influence the relationship of a newly married couple? Do these factors change as the marriage matures? The authors of this book examine the determinants of marital instability in the early years of marriage. Conclusions are based on the results of a survey of 199 black couples and 174 white couples throughout the first four years of marriage. Findings focus on attitudes, perceptions, and feelings spouses have for each other and the manner in which they interact. Some of the topics discussed in the survey include: length of courtship, educational differences, religion, and family involvement. The findings show what effect these and other factors have on a marriage.

Download or read book American Families and Households written by James A. Sweet and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 1990-06-12 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changes in family and household composition are part of every individual's life course. Childhood families expand and contract; the individual leaves to set up an independent household; he or she may marry, raise children, lose a spouse. These transitions have a profound effect on the economic and social well-being of individuals, and the relative prevalence of different living arrangements affects the very character of society. American families and Households takes advantage of the large samples provided by the decennial censuses to document recent major transformations in the individual life cycle and consequent changes in the composition of the American population. As James Sweet and Larry Bumpass demonstrate, these changes have been dramatic—rates of marriage and childbirth are down, rates of marital disruption are up, and those who can are more likely to maintain independent households despite the rapid acceleration of change during recent years, however, the authors find that contemporary trends are continuous with long-term changes in Western society. This meticulous work makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the American Family and the individual life experiences that are translated into the larger population experience. "Jim Sweet and Larry Bumpass provide detailed descriptions of three components of the households and families of Americans: family transitions; the prevalence of different family and household arrangements; and the economic and social circumstances of people living in different types of families and households....As a reference work, the volume is a gold mine, with many rich veins of useful information....Anyone interested in American families and how they have been changing will want to refer to this volume." —American Journal of Sociology A Volume in the Russell Sage Foundation Census Series

Download or read book Close Relationship Loss written by Terri L. Orbuch and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social scientists from various disciplines have been increasingly concerned with the nature, structure, and function of close relationships. Although most of the early work on the topic of close relationships drew attention to the development of close relationships, since the mid-1970s researchers have begun to investigate the many different aspects connected to the loss of close relationships. Despite the change to a more comprehensive conceptual framework, close relationship research is often criticized for being atheoretical; the research is criticized for being purely descriptive in nature and thus lacking a more theoretical framework. Contrary to this belief, I wish to argue that researchers in the area of close relationship loss employ several critical and prominent theoretical perspectives to describe, explain, and understand the endings of relationships-thus, the fruition of this book. The major aim of this edited book is to present and illuminate, within one volume, some of these major theoretical perspectives. The volume as a whole has several unique qualities. First, within each chapter, the authors provide a general overview of the theoretical per spective or approach within which they examine close relationship loss.
Download or read book Value Congruence Goal Congruence and Conflict as Predictors of Early Marital Disruption written by Richard Steven Dell'Isola and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Divorce has been associated with many challenges and negative outcomes for divorcees, offspring, and community life. Despite an apparent drop in overall divorce rates in America, the rates remain high; thus, the need for prevention-related research remains paramount. Risk factors and predictors of divorce have been well-documented, but little has been done to analyze the degree to which couples' value congruence, goal congruence, and conflict levels affect the risk of marital dissolution. Through the lens of Interdependence theory, this study utilized a 5-year longitudinal sample of 709 couples to (a) classify couple types according to their value congruence, goal congruence, and conflict via a latent profile analysis, and (b) assess each of these couple type's risk of divorce using a logistic regression analysis. The latent profile analysis revealed three classes (Class 1, moderate congruence-non-institutional, 17% of couples; Class 2, moderate congruence-moderate conflict, 20% of couples; Class 3, high congruence-low conflict, 63% of couples). A logistic regression found significantly higher probabilities of marital disruption for moderate congruence-non-institutional couples (5.8 times higher) and moderate congruence-moderate conflict couples (4.3 times higher), relative to high congruence-low conflict couples. Based on these results, clinical implications for pre- and early-marital couple therapists for each of the three couple profiles are explored.
