Divorce and Recent Net Migration into the Old West.

Wilkinson, Kenneth P.; And Others

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v45 n2 p437-45 May 1983

Examined data on change in divorce rates in the Old West region where growth is occurring due to energy development. Multiple regression results indicated new immigration had little effect on change in the divorce rate. A more open perspective on social organization and change in rural communities is needed.
