The Marital Happiness/Disruption Relationship by Level of Marital Alternatives.

Udry, J. Richard

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v45 n1 p221-22 Feb 1983

Tested the hypothesis that the inverse relationship between marital happiness and disruption will be strong under conditions of high marital alternatives and weak under conditions of low marital alternatives. Used micro data from a sample of 400 White, urban, American couples. Found no support for the hypothesis. (Author/RC)
