Shapiro, Adam D.

Journal of Family Issues, v17 n2 p186-203 Mar 1996

Analyzes a 1986 national survey (n=2,081) to examine differences in psychological and economic distress between remarried and divorced persons, and if economic distress differences explain differences in psychological distress between married and divorced persons. Findings show that remarried persons have significantly lower rates of economic and psychological distress. (Author)
