Study Notes
Understanding Divorce Rates and Predictors of Relationship Dissolution
- Sexual satisfaction is closely linked to relationship satisfaction in ongoing relationships.
- Divorce rates are recorded but require thoughtful interpretation due to diverse calculations and missing data.
- Divorce rates can be calculated in various ways, such as crude divorce rate, refined divorce rate, and cohort approach.
- Divorce rates in the United States are around 2.3 per 1000 people, 14 per 1000 women, and 43-46% of marriages between 2005 and 2010.
- Divorce rates in the U.S. rose after the 1970s due to no-fault divorce laws and have declined since then.
- Divorce can have both beneficial and harmful impacts, such as benefiting personal health but also increasing loneliness.
- Factors influencing changes in divorce rates over time include values, delayed marriage, rise in cohabitation, and decline of marriage.
- It is challenging to estimate rates of non-marital dissolution due to the variability in people's experiences and the ignorance of predominately sexual relationships.
- Predictors of relationship dissolution can include problems with "me" or "you", habits and behaviors, and problems with "us".
- Breaking intimacy, characterized by disillusionment and a decline in closeness and affection, is a risk factor for dissolution.
- Incompatibility and conflict are often cited as reasons for dissolution, but conflict is a weak predictor of dissolution according to meta-analysis.
- Understanding predictors of relationship dissolution can involve analyzing breakup reasons falling under the umbrella of personality, habits and behaviors, and problems with "us".
