Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Marriage patterns in the United States have undergone significant changes over the past four decades. Individuals are less likely to marry than ever before. For African Americans, this decline in marriage is occurring at a faster rate than for the rest of the population, especially among Black women. Research on the decline in marriage among African Americans has typically focused on demographic and economic explanations for this phenomenon. In addition to these two factors, this study examined two social psychological explanations for the changes in marital patterns. This study assessed how well four theoretical perspectives explained attitudes toward marriage among unmarried African American women: mate availability, economic opportunity, social exchange theory, and gender-role ideology. The results indicate that social psychological explanations must be included in the discussion of marriage among African Americans.
