The relative stability of cohabiting and marital unions for children (2004, background): “These measures have been found to be important control variables in other studies examining marital or cohabitation dissolution (e.g., Bramlett & Mosher 2002; Bumpass & Lu 2000; Graefe & Lichter 1999; Smock & Manning 1997; Landale & Huan 1992).”
The role of stress in divorce: A three-nation retrospective study (2007, background): “For many years the divorce rate in western societies has either risen consistently or remained stable at a high level, with divorce occurring in 30–50% of the marriages in Europe (Eurostat, 2001) and 40–50% of marriages in the United States (Bramlett & Mosher, 2002).”
Understanding the Impact of Poverty on Critical Events in Emerging Adulthood (2010, background): “Early marriage is associated with increased risk of marital dissolution (Bramlett & Mosher, 2002; Clarke-Stewart & Brentano, 2006), and heightened partner conflict is evident in the marriages of transition age youth (Chen et al., 2006).”
“But Will It Last?”: Marital Instability Among Interracial and Same‐Race Couples* (2008, background): “The effects for in-married Hispanic Whites and NH Asians revealed, as prior research has documented (see Bramlett & Mosher, 2002) that these groups were less likely than Whites to divorce by the 10th year of marriage.”
Understanding and Altering the Longitudinal Course of Marriage (2004, background): “First, although the divorce rate has changed little for over two decades, it has stabilized at a high level; 43% of all first marriages end within 15 years (Bramlett & Mosher, 2002).”
Interracial and intraracial romantic relationships: The search for differences in satisfaction, conflict, and attachment style (2006, background): “…1978), findings on the importance of similarity (Huston & Houts, 1998), and the prior data reporting higher divorce rates for interracial marriage (Bramlett & Mosher, 2002; Gaines & Ickes, 1997), we predicted that partners in interracial dating relationships would report less satisfaction,…”
Understanding Racial Differences in Marital Disruption: Recent Trends and Explanations (2003, background): “For example, Bramlett and Mosher (2002) estimate that a greater proportion of marriages ended in disruption within a decade among Black women marrying between 1980 and 1984 than among those marrying in the late 1970s.”
Demographic Trends in the United States: A Review of Research in the 2000s (2010, background): “Racial and ethnic differentials persisted: According to one widely cited set of life table estimates, 81% of non-Hispanic White women, 77% of Hispanic women, and 52% of non-Hispanic African American women were predicted to marry by age 30 (Bramlett & Mosher, 2002).”
Contextual Influences on Marriage (2005, background): “…that, compared to those in high-income populations, women in low-income populations are half as likely to be married, twice as likely to divorce if married, and several timesmore likely to bear children outside of marriage (Bramlett & Mosher, 2002; Singh, Matthews, Clarke, Yannicos, & Smith, 1995).”
Serial Cohabitation and the Marital Life Course (2008, unknown): “Indeed, this argument is often used to explain the higher divorce rates of remarriages than first marriages (see Bramlett & Mosher, 2002; Teachman, 2008).”
