从“婚配”到“婚恋”：婚姻模式变迁与农村光棍形成——基于关中L村的实地调查

随着打工经济发展与人口流动,农村婚姻市场形成和自由恋爱逐步兴起,由父母主导的传统“婚配”模式向子女自主选择的“婚恋”模式变迁。在开放的婚姻市场中,对婚姻资源的激烈竞争促使农民的婚姻责任发生了代际重塑,表现为子代在婚姻市场中负责恋爱找对象,父代承担婚姻消费支出。从“子代找得到”与“父代娶得起”两个维度分析农村婚姻缔结过程与光棍形成机制,可建构出农村的三种光棍类型。在紧张的婚姻形势下,为了应对婚姻压力,农民的家庭策略发生了重要变化：传统的小农家计模式难以应对婚姻的竞争性消费,倒逼农民主动进入务工市场;父代通过抬高婚姻支付来增加子代在婚姻市场中的竞争力;农民生育观念随着婚姻压力增大而改变。

Changes in At-Risk American Men's Crime and Substance Use Trajectories Following Fatherhood

Fatherhood can be a turning point in development and in men's crime and substance use trajectories. At-risk boys (N = 206) were assessed annually from ages 12 to 31 years. Crime, arrest, and tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana use trajectories were examined. Marriage was associated with lower levels of crime and less frequent substance use. Following the birth of a first biological child, men's crime trajectories showed slope decreases, and tobacco and alcohol use trajectories showed level decreases. The older men were when they became fathers, the greater the level decreases were in crime and alcohol use and the less the slope decreases were in tobacco and marijuana use. Patterns are consistent with theories of social control and social timetables.     

Sexual Frequency and the Stability of Marital and Cohabiting Unions

Prior research found that lower sexual frequency and satisfaction were associated with higher rates of divorce, but little research had examined the role of sexual activity in the dissolution of cohabiting unions. We drew upon social exchange theory to hypothesize why sexual frequency is more important in cohabitation: (a) cohabitors' lower costs of finding sexual alternatives, (b) cohabitors' lower barriers to ending the relationship in the form of union‐specific economic and noneconomic capital, and (c) cohabitors' higher expectations for sexual activity. Using the National Survey of Families and Households (N = 5,902), we examined the relationship between sexual frequency and union dissolution. Results indicated that low sexual frequency was associated with significantly higher rates of union dissolution among cohabitors than married couples.
