Race, class, age, and appearance : matching, exchange, and other properties of dating and marriage markets
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation is composed of three related papers, all addressing processes of romantic relationship formation. In the first of these papers I use a combination of quantitative and qualitative data to address the attitudinal and social network causes of racial matching in intimate relationships among Stanford Undergraduates (this paper is published in Journal of Marriage and Family 72 (1): 45-72). In the second section of my dissertation I investigate patterns of exchange and matching on physical attractiveness and socioeconomic status, using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health Romantic Pair Data (2001-2002). In the third paper in my dissertation I use data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979-2008 to test whether occupational sex segregation influences individuals' odds of marriage.
