PROJECT SUMMARY This project will study the associations between courtship processes, marital quality, and marital dissolution in a society just beginning a dramatic transition in marital relationship and behavior. This study will focus on two aspects of marital quality: (1) love and affection (2) disagreement and criticism within marriage, and marital dissolution (separation and divorce). The setting, rural Nepal, is in the midst of transitions in both courtship process and relationship dynamics including marital dissolution. Research around the globe has demonstrated the important impact of the premarital courtship process, marital status, and more importantly, relationship quality on individual physical and psychological health and wellbeing. Yet little research investigates links between courtship processes and marital quality and marital dissolution. Both theory and preliminary evidence point toward the importance of changes in multiple dimensions of the courtship process as key links between individuals' community context, household background and characteristics, familial as well as non-family experiences, and marital quality and marital dissolution. Moreover, the scant research investigating the link is primarily focused on Western settings with little or no variation in courtship processes, as most courtships are limited to autonomous courtship systems. However, the specific mechanisms responsible for creating these links remain unknown. We build on an ongoing program of research that has already made numerous contributions to our understanding of the influence of various community-, household- and individual-level factors on both marital processes and marital quality and marital dissolution. We propose to investigate multiple courtship processes as mechanisms linking community-, household- and individual-level factors to marital quality and marital dissolution. To accomplish this, we will integrate existing, culturally appropriate measures of multiple dimensions of courtship processes into models of marital quality and marital dissolution to conduct tests of these mechanisms. The data we will use contain a particularly rich body of contextual measures, detailed personal interviews with both husbands and wives, and a monthly record of marital status spanning 22 years. With this wealth of information from and about husbands and wives, we have the measures necessary to significantly advance the scientific understanding of the role of courtship processes in explaining the effects of community context, and household and non-family experience on marital quality and marital dissolution. Given autonomous courtship practice and marital dissolution are rapidly increasing in non-Western settings, the insights we gain from this study are particularly significant because courtship processes may strongly affect marital quality and marital dissolution and ultimately influence both family and child health and wellbeing.

项目总结 这个项目将研究求爱过程、婚姻质量和婚姻解体之间的关系。 一个刚刚开始婚姻关系和行为的戏剧性转变的社会。这项研究将集中在两个方面 婚姻质量方面：(1)爱情和感情(2)婚姻内部的分歧和批评，以及婚姻 解散(分居和离婚)。背景是尼泊尔农村，这两种求爱方式都处于过渡时期 过程和关系动态，包括婚姻解体。全球各地的研究表明 婚前求爱过程的重要影响，婚姻状况，更重要的是，关系 个人身心健康和幸福感的素质。然而，很少有研究调查这些联系 求爱过程与婚姻质量和婚姻解体之间的关系。无论是理论还是初步证据 指出在求爱过程的多个方面的变化作为求爱过程之间的关键环节的重要性 个人的社区背景、家庭背景和特征、家庭成员和非家庭成员 经历，以及婚姻质量和婚姻解体。此外，对这种联系的研究还很少。 主要集中在西方的环境中，求爱过程几乎没有变化，就像大多数求爱一样 仅限于自主求爱系统。然而，负责创造这些的具体机制 链接仍然未知。我们建立在一个正在进行的研究项目上，该项目已经取得了许多 有助于我们理解各种社区、家庭和个人层面的影响 影响婚姻过程、婚姻质量和婚姻解体的因素。我们建议调查 多个求爱过程作为将社区、家庭和个人层面的因素联系起来的机制 婚姻质量与婚姻解体。为了实现这一点，我们将整合现有的、文化上合适的 在婚姻质量和婚姻解体模型中测量求爱过程的多个维度 对这些机制进行测试。我们将使用数据包含特别丰富的上下文 衡量标准，对丈夫和妻子进行详细的个人访谈，以及每月的婚姻状况记录 时间跨度22年。有了这些来自和关于丈夫和妻子的丰富信息，我们有了措施 有必要显著提高对求爱过程在解释 社区环境、家庭和非家庭经历对婚姻质量和婚姻的影响 解散。在非西方人中，自主的求爱行为和婚姻解体正在迅速增加 我们从这项研究中获得的见解尤其重要，因为求爱过程可能 强烈影响婚姻质量和婚姻解体，并最终影响家庭和儿童健康 幸福。
