This study identifies factors that predict delayed divorce in the US. The findings show that factors which influence marital stability in general also correlate with delayed divorce in the same direction. Wife's age at marriage, age of the youngest child, wife's religion, region of residence, and metropolitan residence have substantial effects of delayed divorce, but the effects of race, parental divorce, premarital pregnancy, and socioeconomic status are small.
本研究确定了在美国预测离婚延迟的因素。研究结果表明,总体上影响婚姻稳定性的因素也与离婚延迟呈相同方向的关联。妻子的结婚年龄、最小孩子的年龄、妻子的宗教信仰、居住地区和大城市居住情况对离婚延迟有显著影响,但种族、父母离婚、婚前怀孕和社会经济地位的影响较小。
