最近的证据将婚前同居与高离婚率联系起来，提出了一个复杂的理论和实证难题。我们提出假设，预测婚前同居是对那些容易离婚的人的选择性选择，并提出假设，预测婚前同居的经历会产生增加离婚可能性的态度和价值观。我们利用来自美国最近一批年轻男女的多波面板数据，指定并测试了这些预测的模型。研究结果与假设一致，即同居是针对那些不太愿意结婚而更赞成离婚的男性和女性的选择性。研究结果也与同居经历显着提高年轻人对离婚的接受度的结论相一致。
Recent evidence linking premarital cohabitation to high rates of divorce poses a complex theoretical and empirical puzzle. We develop hypotheses predicting that premarital cohabitation is selective of those who are prone to divorce as well as hypotheses predicting that the experience of premarital cohabitation produces attitudes and values which increase the probability of divorce. Using multiwave panel data from a recent cohort of young men and women in the United States, we specify and test models of these predictions. The results are consistent with hypotheses suggesting that cohabitation is selective of men and women who are less committed to marriage and more approving of divorce. The results also are consistent with the conclusion that cohabiting experiences significantly increase young people's acceptance of divorce.
