我们研究了已婚、同居、恋爱和不再恋爱的新父母的分类交配模式。使用来自“脆弱家庭和儿童福利”研究的数据，我们发现，孩子出生时的关系状况主要取决于父亲的种族，而不是母亲和父亲的种族/民族是否不同。跨越种族/民族界限似乎对出生后的关系转变没有太大影响。相反，如果父母中有一方是黑人，那么他们在孩子出生后结婚的可能性就会降低，而西班牙裔夫妇的关系尤其稳定。受教育程度不同对出生时的婚姻状况影响不大，但受教育程度相同的夫妇在孩子出生后离婚的风险略低。
We examine the assortative mating patterns Of new parents who are married, cohabiting, romantically involved and no longer romantically involved. Using data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing study, we find that relationship status at the time of a birth depends mainly on father's race rather than on whether mother and father's race/ethnicity differ. Crossing race/ethnic lines does not appear to have much effect on relationship transitions following a birth. Rather, parents are less likely to marry after a birth if one parent is black, and the relationships of Hispanic couples are particularly stable. Crossing educational lines has little effect on relationship status at birth, but same-education couples had a slightly lower risk of divorce following the birth.
