FORMATION AND STABILITY OF MARITAL AND COHABITING UNIONS

在HD22433的这个延续下，我们将使用第二波 全国家庭和家庭调查将扩大我们对婚姻的研究 形成和解散，明确关注的含义 家庭边界的同居以及我们的概念和分析 家族命名法。该数据集的主要优势包括：L) 1987-1988年(T1)关于家庭态度和行为的措施的深度； 2)来自男性和女性的数据；以及3)来自伴侣双方的数据 同居者婚姻与婚姻破裂的原因分析 同居和已婚夫妇。 我们有四个具体目标。1)未婚人士结合的形成 T1的人：对于非同居的人，过渡到第一 同居或第一次婚姻将与T1有关 对同居和婚姻的态度、背景、资源和 生活过程变量包括T1约会行为的衡量标准。为 同居者，向婚姻的过渡将在上面进行审查 增加关系质量的框架。向婚姻的过渡将在那时 对所有未婚人士进行检查。2)所有同居和婚姻过渡 两次面试之间：两次面试之间的教育和就业变化 将作为时变协变量添加，以预测同居情况 处于同居和非同居的结合和婚姻中。3) 同居与婚姻语境中的非婚生育 时间：包括同居作为一个时变协变量，我们将 检查背景因素和T1资源(如教育和 收入)通过T1态度和 同居和婚姻模式。纳入了标准的衡量标准 NSFH2中的生育规划将允许我们区分规划的 以及这项分析中的意外生育。4)同居与结合 稳定性：首先，较高的婚姻破坏率 同居将通过包括关系测量在内的模型进行检验 质量和对结婚和离婚的取向。第二，使用 从双方获得的关系质量的可比衡量标准， 同居和结婚时间相近的夫妇的稳定性将是 检查过了。

Under this continuation of HD22433, we will use the second wave of the National Survey of Families and Households to extend our research on union formation and dissolution with an explicit focus on the implications of cohabitation for family boundaries and for our conceptual and analytic family nomenclature. Among the major advantages of this data set are: l) The depth of the 1987-88 (T1) measures on family attitudes and behaviors; 2) Data from both males and females; and 3) Data from both partners for the analysis of marriage among cohabiters and union disruption among both cohabiting and married couples. We have four specific aims. 1) The Formation of Unions Among Unmarried Persons at T1: For noncohabiting persons, transitions to first cohabitation or first marriage will be examined in relation to T1 attitudes towards cohabitation and marriage, background, resources, and life-course variables including measures of T1 dating behavior. For cohabiters, transitions to marriage will be examined in the above framework adding relationship quality. Transitions to marriage will then examined for all unmarried. 2) All Cohabitation and Marriage Transitions Between Interviews: Educational, and employment changes between interviews will be added as time-varying covariates to predict cohabitation from not being in a union and marriage from both cohabitation and not-in-union. 3) Non marital Childbearing in the Context of Cohabitation and Marriage Timing: including cohabitation as a time-varying covariate, we will examine how background factors and T1 resources (such as education and income) affect the risk of a nonmarital birth through T1 attitudes and cohabitation and marriage patterns. The inclusion of standard measures of fertility planning in NSFH2 will allow us to differentiate between planned and unplanned births in this analysis. 4) Cohabitation and Union Stability: First, the higher disruption rate of marriages preceded by cohabitation will be examined by models including measures of relationship quality and orientations towards marriage and divorce. Second, using comparable measures on relationship quality drawn from both partners, the stability of cohabiting and married couples of similar durations will be examined.
