传统的择偶研究没有解决婚姻相关性如何产生的问题。没有适当地检验共同的假设，即选择性交配是基于表型的。社会背景可能是选择配偶的一个主要决定因素。它示出了如何收集数据的同卵（MZ）和异卵（DZ）双胞胎对和他们的配偶，和估计所有可能的双胞胎对和他们的配偶之间的相关性，将允许这些替代假设进行测试。功效模拟表明，它将是可行的，以解决的贡献，表型和社会背景的配偶选择的变量，如智商，教育和态度，婚姻的相关性是中等偏高。
Traditional studies of mate selection have not addressed the question of how a marital correlation arises. The common assumption that assortative mating is based on phenotype was not properly tested. Social background may be a major determinant of choice of spouse. It is shown how the collection of data on monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs and their spouses, and estimation of all possible correlations between the twin pairs and their spouses, will allow these alternative hypotheses to be tested. Power simulations show that it will be feasible to resolve the contributions of phenotype and social background to mate selection for variables such as IQ, education and attitudes for which the marital correlation is moderatly high.
