• Reasons for Divorce and Openness to Marital Reconciliation (2012, background): “One study found that half of divorces come from marriages with low rather than high amounts of conflict (Amato & Hohmann-Marriott, 2007).”
• Relationship Quality in Interethnic Marriages and Cohabitations (2008, background): “These differences represent small to moderate differences between groups (Amato et al 2007).”
• Divorce in Europe and the United States: Commonalities and differences across nations (2010, result): “Other studies, in contrast, have found no gender differences in postdivorce adjustment in the United States (Amato & Hohmann-Marriott, 2007 ; Bierman et al, 2006 ; Wang & Amato, 2000 ; Williams, 2003 ), Sweden (Gahler, 1998 ), and Norway (Mastekaasa, 1994 ).”
• Patterns of psychological adaptation to divorce after a long-term marriage (2015, result): “While some studies suggest that persons from lowdistress marriages have more difficulties in adapting than those from high-distress ones (Amato & Hohmann-Marriott, 2007), other studies could not replicate these findings (Johnson & Wu, 2002; Waite, Luo, & Lewin, 2009).”
• Marital quality and health: A meta-analytic review (2013, background): “…and behaviors and low amounts of positive affect and behaviors also predict divorce, as do demographic variables like premarital births and teenage marriage (Amato & DeBoer, 2001), younger age at marriage (Amato & Hohmann-Marriott, 2007), and lower SES (Birditt, Brown, Orbuch, & McIlvane, 2010).”
