Measures of marriage dissolution that include divorce

Reference no: EM131089934

1. Why do researchers use measures of marriage dissolution that include both divorce and separation rather than simply using divorce?

2. Sayer and Bianchi are testing the independence hypothesis. Which interpretation of the independence hypothesis (using Ruggles
distinction - see previous class questions) are they testing?

3. Sayer and Bianchi include variables that measure gender ideology, marriage quality, and marital commitment in their equations that
predict divorce/separation. What are these measures? What are their results?

4. Would we expect these variables to have the same effects on cohabitation dissolution?
