DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this research project is to explore how the outcomes and stability of cohabiting unions are related to life course experiences and attitudes. Two related questions will be investigated: 1) are cohabiting unions formed at the same time as the experience of a life course event (looking at events such as fertility, employment, education, residential mobility) related to the likelihood the cohabitation transitions into marriage or breaks up and, if a marriage occurs, to the likelihood that the marriage remains intact; and 2) are attitudes held prior to the formation of a cohabitation predictive of whether the union will transition into marriage or break up and, if a marriage occurs, of the stability of the marital union. The main hypotheses are 1) the likelihood of a cohabiting union breaking up, staying intact, or transitioning into marriage and whether the subsequent marriage remains intact will vary by whether the union was formed at the same time other life course events were experienced, what kind of events, and the number of events as well as vary by marital status and race/ethnicity; and 2) the cohabiting unions of individuals with more traditional value orientations and who are more religious are more likely to transition into marriage, and their subsequent marriages are more likely to be stable compared to less traditional persons. Multinomial logistic regression and event history methods will be applied to Waves 1, 2, and 3 of the National Survey of Families and Households to model union transitions. This research will advance our understanding of how cohabitation fits into the American family system.

描述（由申请人提供）：该研究项目的目的是探讨同居工会的结果和稳定与生活课程的经验和态度有关。将研究两个相关的问题：1）与人生事件的经历同时组建的工会（查看与生育能力，就业，教育，住宅流动性等事件相关的事件），与可能性相关的同居转变为婚姻或分手，如果发生婚姻，则出现婚姻是完整的； 2）是在形成同居之前的态度，以预测联盟是否会过渡到婚姻还是分手，如果发生婚姻，则是婚姻联盟的稳定性。主要的假设是1）同居联盟分手，保持完整或过渡到婚姻的可能性以及随后的婚姻是否保持完整会因同时遇到的其他生活事件的同时成立，以及因婚姻和婚姻状况和种族和种族/种族而变化而有所不同； 2）与更可能过渡到婚姻的人的同居，他们更有可能过渡到婚姻，而随后的婚姻与不太传统的人相比更有可能稳定。多项式逻辑回归和事件历史方法将应用于对家庭和家庭的国家调查的波浪1、2和3，以建模工会过渡。这项研究将促进我们对同居如何适应美国家庭体系的理解。
