Preferred term

prediction of marital stability  

Definition

  • Studies predicting marital dissolution generally assess couples within a few months of marriage and then follow them over the next 2 to 14 years, assessing their relationship status throughout the study. Around the time of marriage, relationship researchers assess many different types of factors, including demographic variables, personality variables, and variables capturing the quality of interaction between the couples in hopes to determine which factors best predict divorce.
